That looks looks like McDuffie near Richmond.....

5 million away.

Don't ruin our fun!

I think Midtown is large enough to where it can support a diverse scene. The parking situation is head and shoulders better than washington ave.

Uhhhhh Soviet block style apartments look pretty different to me...... Whiteco must be where mid-level party members stand in line for beet rations.

Forgive my ignorance but have we confirmed if there are two or one residential towers currently being constructed because it looks there's two in the right hand corner.

Awesome shot. Was going to Kelsey Clinic in this area and it's surprisingly dense in this corner of Houston. Thanks for the update. Glad this one doesn't look like your standard complex going up right now.

My thoughts exactly,

This project, the waterwall apartments, and W. Dallas apartment next to Whole foods don't seem to be built with the standard wooden frame. What gives? Would these be considered real luxury apartments?

Awesome this is 4 blocks from my apartment. I too have a pretty good bike but this will be great for my non bike buddies.

Thanks for posting the linked report, lots of interesting info.

3pm on a Friday afternoon.

Looks like this one has been going under the radar.... Seems we got some underground parking on top of apartments in this phase 2 that occupies a single block.

I like your moxy kid but don't fear, there are plenty of of opportunities for retail alongside rail. Midtown still has lots of land to be developed, especially in the southern portion.

Christof Spieler, Carroll Robinson, and Tory Gattis Chron Op-ED, This idea, along with the greener, more effective bayous idea had always stuck in my mind.

A water park would be righteous.

Getting ready for development perhaps? IMAG0505 by dv1033, on Flickr IMAG0506 by dv1033, on Flickr Another old apartment complex demoed alongside Richmond, Mt. Vernon, and Yoakum ... too bad rail won't be serving the apartments sprouting alongside the planned route.

The weather and lighting was somewhat bad, here are some random updates by me: Ashton @ Rice Village is one of my favorite projects and it's getting close to completion. IMAG0493 by dv1033, on Flickr IMAG0494 by dv1033, on Flickr Some mixed use IMAG0499 by dv1033, on Flickr New sidewalks IMAG0500 by dv1033, on Flickr IMAG0501 by dv1033, on Flickr Phase 2 would be at the far end on the left IMAG0502 by dv1033, on Flickr Bonus update: Children Assessment Center (CAC) is where sexually abused children and their families go for haven and help is undergoing an expansion. It will consist of a parking garage (well underway) and about double the space. It across the street from the apartment complex.

Seems we will have 5 surface lots gone if these developments all come to fruition.

I get your point. Personally I'm less concerned about mixed use than getting a higher residential critical mass in midtown.

Per the article^ Not too bad and only took ~13 years to complete all 3 phases. Not to mention similar projects nearby completing 2nd or 3rd phases.

The areas along the West Loop be blowing with apartments.

So is there also something going up in the 24 hour fitness location across the street from the said McDonalds?

Pardon my ignorance, but do we know if this will take up two lots (hotel and parking garage)?
