So the building has been frenetic. They are building so many units so fast, I'll bet you several of them will deteriorate rather rapidly. And getting around downtown is extra tough with all the fucking construction cranes all over the place.
From the Houston Business Journal.
9 residential projects under construction in downtown Houston
The third residential project spurred by the tax incentive project has opened in the Central Business District, according to Central Houston's second-quarter report. The Houston-based nonprofit organization tracks the progress of residential and commercial projects in downtown Houston.
In early 2016, Houston-based Finger Cos. also opened 500 Crawford, a seven-story, 400-unit luxury apartment across from Minute Maid Park. Finger’s second downtown Houston project was announced just after the city launched the Downtown Living Initiative and is not part of the tax incentive program.
Currently, 9 residential projects — totaling 2,753 units — are under construction in downtown Houston, according to Central Houston. The developers are catering to young professionals and empty nesters, who want to live in high-density, urban neighborhoods where they can walk to work, eat and play.
The trickle of new downtown apartments will soon become a flood, as developers deliver the majority of their downtown projects in late 2016 and early 2017.
