I don't get it. Why can't they just do the kind of thing they are doing for Denver. Look at that one. Very nice, sleek, and contemporary. This facade looks like something a post modernist would do in the early 90's.

Were you thinking of the grass field vacant block in midtown? That one confuses me - every other vacant block has a parking lot but for those two. What makes them so special?

 

As I recall, those two blocks were slated to be identical midrise apartments built in two phases.  I don't remember if their variance requests were approved, but nothing has moved forward on that since.  Based on the size of the footprint, I was thinking it would be one of the full blocks near Root Square.  Merely hoping/speculating, of course.  And those parking lots cannot remain profitable forever.

River Oaks & Uptown has the most cranes in the city right now.  It’s like we’re watching a small city being built. Here’s my count as of today.  Anything I missed?
