Taken together with the planned mid-rise (10-story) apartments by the Co-Cathedral, the five-story building underway adjacent to Skyhouse, the ones farther north by the ballpark, it seems like a real possibility that this type of housing (full blocks, 10-stories and under) is going to dominate the eastern edge of downtown. Of course there are true highrises (Houston House, Skyhouse and One Park Place) but at what point do they become the exceptions? Seems like Midtown and EaDo (east of 59) might merge via the eastern edge of downtown. |
Midtown is already pretty well occupied with these block buildings; it's becoming very redundant - a squarish 6-story block bounding right up to the curb. That and the three-level rowhouses.

The other day I had a fantasy of a line going down Montrose Boulevard, starting at Hermann Park and running up through The Heights to the 610 loop. How glorious would that be? |

There's an interesting back-story to this facility. The bunker was built in the '80s and the rumor was that a reclusive Chinese businessman was responsible for its existence. The actual story is here. A Former Nuclear Bomb Shelter... |

Today's BisNow has a feature on this corner (Westheimer and Fondren), which they say will be the site of four different apartment complexes. How that will look, I don't know, but the new Vargo's apartments are there. https://ci5.googleusercontent.com/pr...merFondren.JPG |

On a side note, i really hope they keep those palm trees in that area. I really like the scenery approaching Fondren going east on Westheimer! |
