It's a very good place for a highrise. Right on a major thoroughfare, and in a very desirable neighborhood. Houston is going to get denser, we can't have inner-city suburbs forever. To accommodate this, we need to improve our transit system, but that's another topic. There are many highrises in Houston right next to single family homes.
