  • I’m happy those “cute little front feet” are there. It does show the architect looked at the previous building. it had the same little front feet!

  • You know how some people have really ugly babies but you tell them that their kid is cute anyway?

  • One of my favorite buildings going up at the moment in terms of exterior design and the units themselves. Will be a pleasure to visit friends there when they move in next year!

  • MRS. ATLAS YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB,GOOD LUCK. ALSO HOW ABOUT DOING ANOTHER BUILDING TALLER MAY BE DOWNTOWN HOUSTON NEED A 1ST CLASS RESIDENTAL HI-RISE 40-50 FLOORS OR MIDTOWN 3000 BLOCK MAIN TRAVIS 2727 KIRBY GREAT IDEA & NAME YOU PUT THAT LOCATION ON THE MAP GREAT CONCEPT.

  • I bet he would have put it downtown if it was warranted. But there’s more for residents to access from this location. Also, it puts the residents with easy access to 4 major employment centers. Downtown couldn’t do that.

    This is the reason the area south I-10, north of US 59, west of Midtown, and east of the West Loop is such a prime location for increased density.

  • I’m looking forward for 2727 Kirby to be finish, it will be a beautiful building. With the construction of Kirby, it will make the Upper Kirby District more desirable.

  • funny how the plans change from orig drawing to final offering
