Highrise Tower Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 The street navigational sign for Favrot Tower Apartments is still up! This is located a long Bertner Avenue. I wanted to take a picture to capture the memories before it was removed. I heard it's hard, via permitting, to remove signs so it should stay there for a while longer. Maybe it will be removed in 5 years. In the picture it reads: < St. Lukes < Texas Heart Institute > McGovern Commons > Favrot Tower Apartments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Those signs should be easy to remove, since they are part of TMC. The signs that are hard to remove are the large signs businesses erect. If you tear down one of those, you ahve to go through the entire permitting process again, but if you leave it, it's grandfathered and doesn't have to follow all the newer rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
