Avossos Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 you know - this is one of the cooler art deco designs we are seeing... other midtown/ inner loop apartment buildings (in my mind) are falling into the cheap - modern inspired - construction category. This one however meets the eye test. Hope the brick work and art deco features do not disappoint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htownproud Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Glad to see them pushing dirt. As I was going by it today, I noted that the folks with a north view will have a good view of downtown, but will also be staring at the giant Shell station across the street.

DrLan34 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 It is really good to see these projects going up in the rougher areas of Midtown and the average height seems to be increasing as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree. It will be interesting to see any projects that pop up next to Greyhound. ...Many people on this forum that don't live near the city would be shocked by the amount of growth occurring on the very western edge of Third Ward. There is townhome after townhome being built. I'll be sure to take pictures of it when I drive through there next time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 It is really good to see these projects going up in the rougher areas of Midtown and the average height seems to be increasing as well.My dad used to work on W Dallas up until a few years ago. I remember we saw a young whitel girl running at night right before he retired and he said a few years before that you never would have seen that and thought she was crazy.95% of the people that now live there probably have no clue what these areas around downtown used to be like as far as crime and drugs.

Also to stay on topic, this is going up pretty quick. Any ideas what's gonna happen with that beautiful piece of land a few blocks up, as per Larry's pics?

Chi-Char-Hou-Dal Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Midtown superblock park - renderings are out July start date? Let me give you the low down - a lot of people are hating on it being scaled down DG - IMO it's better than giant empty field - think there's Camden apts in the mix too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 So the field in the pic is where the park is going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillip_white Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 The side of the field closest to the Alexan will have a small park-ish area, with the actual Superblock Park on the end farthest away in the picture above. Camden will be be built in between.

phillip_white Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Midtown Lake is coming along nicely. A couple more storms like we had last night and I can bring out the jet skis! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminare Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hmm while Randall Davis buildings do come off a bit tacky for some reason I actually like this one. It has a nice blend of Art Deco and Art Moderne. I'll admit that I'm a huge sucker for Art Deco and while recently some Art Deco projects have felt a little forced in how they were implemented. I would love to see a revival of Art Deco in general. Maybe a Neo-Deco. I just think that the aesthetic fits with Houston so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdueenginerd Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Midtown Lake is coming along nicely. A couple more storms like we had last night and I can bring out the jet skis! Pumped out and drained when I drove by this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
