I cruised I35 from 45 in RR to Oltorf then back north so I could check out the happenings in dt today. The Riverview apartments, though a nice filler at the Riverside / 35 intersection, has a very cheap looking facade especially the lightest of the colors. And the terracotta color seems over used considering I see that exact color used a lot on refurbashing projects all over town. I'm thinking white, blue, and light green tones would look better. Skyhouse looks good so far, love the glass, the JW Marriot will have a big impact on the skyline from 35, the sheer scope of the apartment construction on the east side of 35 looks pretty cool, but the construction cranes look weird for a mostly wood constructed building. The apartments next to St David's aren't that impressive, just filler, maybe because the original plans for that area were much more exciting. The marquee in front of the Erwin Ctr looks new...is it? Last rant...the area directly east of the 800 room Hilton is an eyesore. As soon as I get another chance, I'll be back to explore dt off 35. Overall, things are looking pretty good!

I just heard that these were actually going to be condos. I think with the huge supply of rentals coming onto the market that this would be a good idea. No word on the pricing yet.

Looks to be a little under $2/sq. ft./month:

re: Apartments vs. Condos - their website is still showing that they are apartments and they are showing monthly rents for each unit. That's not to say they couldn't be turned into condos later, but as of now it appears they're apartments.

I cannot for the life of me figure out where you took those photos from.

Edit: Never mind. The trees are just hiding the highway very very very well.

I don't know if y'all have driven by there at night, but that Riverview sign lights up blue (and I maybe red, too). It looks pretty cool.
