skooljunkie Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Hmmm...I cannot see the link, but I am 99.9% certain this is being mixed up with ~800 apartments planned for the 17000 block of Bissonnet in Fort Bend County in the Camelia development just east of FM 1464.

TexasGeneral Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 There is no way 792 apartment units will be built on this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right. Someone mistakenly pinned the location as the site of the Ashby Highrise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sellanious Caesar Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 That is really nice. How could anyone be opposed to this project now? The design doesn't leave room for argument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinsanity02 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 It is a beautiful highrise. Very elegant. Not taking sides on this. Don't want to set urban loving haifers off. Just saying some folks in the posh houses in the area may not like having a highrise near them. South and North Blvds have some beautiful older houses with large yards. Very enjoyable area to stroll. Honestly, I do not know what legal leg the opposition can stand on. There are highrises going up everywhere and as far as I know there are no deed restrictions against this sort of thing. I suspect all they can do is fighting a delaying action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urbanize713 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Add 10 stories and build it next to OPP downtown as condos orr lot behind the Marriott. Not going to be picky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 It’s beautiful but what continues to amaze me is the tenacity and the strong will the developers have in seeing this through to completion. Most would have given up Lin ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TowerSpotter Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I really wish they could still incorporate some palm trees on the ground floor, most of these developments are placing them on podiums now. Not to mention we've been losing some due to new development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Random palm trees are one thing that would make absolutely no sense in that part of town. That neighborhood is all about its oaks so I'm glad the rendering shows real trees on the street rather than overgrown grass trash trees.

samagon Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) I still think they should have built an apartment complex with the same number of units that existed previously and made them all low income housing. it wouldn't make as much as luxury high rise, but they would have lost less than they did by chasing the dream. hell, if I win a billion dollars tomorrow night, I might just buy the property and do it myself.

KinkaidAlum Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 They've lost a ton of revenue when they tore down the existing apartments before they had permits in hand. If they were smart, they'd flip the cleared land and move on or propose a super high end for-sale condo project full of 3-5 story buildings like those on Sunset Boulevard a few blocks away. Those sell for well over $1.3m and they could pack two dozen or more on the lot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you are trolling, but these jokes were tired 10 years ago..... As Kinkaid said above, a more practical developer could of found countless profitable uses for this property. It was essentially affordable grad apartments before for 30+ years........my bet is that Rice buys it up eventually and develops another 5 or 6 story complex for grad students, with a small market or retail along Bissonnet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
