Thanks for the welcome! I stumbled upon the forum when I was looking for information on another project (which I was happy to find in The Heights Forum) and just thought I'd see if there was anything here about Gables West Ave. while I was browsing around. It's fairly close to the renderings, although I don't know about the actual exterior color or those awful palm trees. The picture to the left appears to be a rendering of the view from Westheimer, and the right appears to be the view from Kirby. If I am correct, then the street between the buildings in the left picture is intended to be a sort of pick up/drop off lane between the buildings with store front on either side. It is all intended to be pedestrian, as well as vehicle friendly. Also, there is a rather large parking garage, which I typically loathe. Parking structures are just eyesores as far as I have seen, but this one is strategically placed behind the buildings, so all that will be seen driving by is actually a really pretty building.
