Texasota Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I always love when buildings have to build around one hold-out lot. It gives the place character and keeps just a little bit of what used to be there intact. I also think it tends to drive more interesting buildings, though most developers will just do the bare minimum to make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxtethogrady Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) It looks like there are two lots that didn't go to the complex. China used to be notorious for projects built around a recalcitrant landowner. I'm amazed at the number of crackerboxes. The redevelopment forces are strong with that neighborhood .

Purdueenginerd Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I like that end part, but man I wish we'd bury those power lines occasionally. haha. Very nice pictures. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samagon Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 No one wants to look out onto a nice view of some overgrown trees and some dude barbecuing. naked. he'll be bbqing naked. well, maybe just an apron. I imagine if the person (or their relatives) eventually sells the property, it will become a cafe, or bar. There's not too much that it can become other than stay residential, and I can't imagine anyone other than the person that has sentimental value of the property will want to live there.
