Sarnoff: Ashby may rise later this year

After more than four years in the works, the so-called Ashby high-rise is expected to break ground by year-end.
A lawsuit keeping the project from being built was settled last week. The proposed building pitted the developer against the city of Houston and a well-to-do neighborhood - some of whose residents went to great lengths to stop the Ashby project.
"A few may continue to complain, but this development will not be stopped because good projects always get built," developer Matthew Morgan said in a written statement. "The settlement of this lawsuit should send a clear signal to them that any similar attempts to delay the pro-ject will not succeed."
The building will have 228 high-end apartments in 21 stories. It will go up at 1717 Bissonnet in place of the Maryland Manor apartments.
If the project breaks ground before the fourth quarter, units could be available by the end of 2013 at the earliest.
