You need to view this plot on google earth. It's close to everything but very isolated. It is cut off by a bayou/ditch, a huge park, the VA Med Center, and even a convent (St Dominic's Village). The only nearby residents will be those that live in the 40 story Spires next door. There's literally no more lots to build future towers/apartments/condos/homes on. This will never be a neighborhood, much less a destination neighborhood.

This place will appeal to people who work or attend school at The Texas Medical Center and those who are older and need to visit the Med Center often. The Spires next door is basically an old-folks home with a few doctors/students mixed in. I imagine this place will be much the same.
