This unusual project has grown on me.  Paired with The Laura across the street, it gives a great dense feel when crossing the Jensen St Bridge.  Very unique.  Also, the central office/amenity building gives off a pretty cool, mcm vibe.

It's grown on me too. I like that Houston is putting land adjacent to bayous to higher use. 

It makes for a more unified core. Not sure what generations passed thought when they had those things like massive concrete channels, but the combination of projects like this and East River with the bayou parks and bike trails these areas look more like extensions of downtown rather than areas that needs to be kept away from downtown at all costs.

I don't know that the bedroom suburbs need to start so close to downtown either though.  This is Sugar Land style living with the convenience of the inner loop.

Hmm, wouldn’t Sugar Land be more of a McMansion than multifamily?

No, if you look on Stadium Drive along the banks of their bayou, you'll see similar bland four-storey buildings with acres of composition shingle roofing like Overture and Imperial Lofts.  They even have their own waterfront silos at the sugar mill redevelopment site.

Although I get where you are coming from, but I think this is a substantial step up from what it was and what's around it. 

We have prime lots in downtown and midtown getting these types of housing, so to demand a more urban development on a field across the way is to much for me to ask. Across the bayou is no Jersey City. Let's build up residential density with units like these and if there is great demand then better developments may follow.

But for now this project has grown on me. I like how the area is changing.

Given the similarity in design and roofing materials across these buildings, do you think there's a specific reason developers are favoring this style for the area? For instance, does it reflect a regional preference or is it more about cost-effectiveness and functionality? Also, the mention of waterfront silos at the sugar mill redevelopment site adds a unique industrial touch. How do you see these elements contributing to the area's overall aesthetic and character?
