kylejack Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Oh but I did account for the surface parking lots that will exist in the Sky House development. Every one of them. There aren't any. e.g. http://swamplot.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/skyhouse-tower-retail-plan.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 i thought i recalled there being some spots on the side... i wonder if they will be reserved for a specific use, or have a time limit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) e.g. http://swamplot.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/skyhouse-tower-retail-plan.jpg I stand corrected. And your point was...? To be clear, it remains a block that previously was more than 50% surface parking that is no longer more than 50% surface parking, thus this project reduces the count of such blocks by one, as originally stated. (And instead of gaining 75% of a block converted from surface parking we merely gain 70%?) I would correct my earlier post but the edit button is not making itself available.

HoustonIsHome Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Downtown has proposals for a 33 story, a 28 story, possibly a 38 story (depending on what thee texaco redevelopers decide), and now a 40 story residential highrise. Not counting the rumored 40+ story ritz with resi. But I agree, we can always build taller!

Avossos Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 um.. people who want to see the downtown population grow so that other amenities will finally start to come to downtown so we can have a vibrant place thats not just a 9-5 destination...This is true, and I agree. I wish the appearance of the building was all brick instead of the trendy, expected apartment building. I think we can all agree this building is showing a good trend, but it definitely isn't super exciting within itself, and that's ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockmat Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) So the official name is Block 334? Unusual, but makes it feel more urban i suppose. Edited April 9, 2014 by lockmat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arche_757 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 ^Not a very diverse group of residents! What do they think this is.. Dallas?! Seriously though no disrespect to our fine neighbors up north)... I'm just teasing Fine with the name. Could have been some convaluted "Gardens at Central City Park" or "The Falls at Fannin" or "The Adventor" or some other ridiculous name Aparments tend to go for.

H-Town Man Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 This is a developer who knows how to take advantage of an incentive program. Building design looks like it was stolen from something on W. Dallas, name was read off the plat map, and website designed from stock photos. And they'll make plenty of money because no one was smart enough to get there first. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
