Braesbrook Landing: Multifamily At 7675 Phoenix Dr.

[Highrise Tower]

I was browsing the newspaper The Rice Thresher dated December 2, 1983 and came across an advertisement for Braesbrook Landing Apartments located at 7675 Phoenix Dr.

Does anyone recall these apartments? I'd love to see a photo of the buildings or signage.  Any memories of living here, or visiting friends? 

The current site is a little confusing. Half of this complex was demolished and rebuilt with The Lanesborough Apartments at 1819 South Braeswood Blvd. The other half of the parcel was occupied with the fire station, since demolished, and now sits vacant.  I guess the developer of The Lanesborough didn't need all that extra acreage.  They only built on half of the parcel.
