APARTMENT GROUNDWORK GETS GOING NEXT TO FORMER PINE CREST GOLF COURSE FAIRWAY 
A couple building permits filed yesterday show developer engineering firm Kimley Horn is about to put down the foundation for some apartments just west of the Pine Crest Golf Course. While the golf course —Â slated for 800 houses of its own following the city’s sign-off in April — lies almost entirely within the 100-year floodplain, the adjacent apartment site is mostly unmapped by FEMA, although an eastern sliver of it along Gessner Rd. does carry the 500-year designation. All 16 acres at 10333 Clay Rd. are currently vacant; they’re split between 2 abutting properties together dubbed Spring Shadows Business Park when their boundaries were officially redrawn in June.

More building in the flood plain. Yay!
This is going to royally piss off the Nimbys, but they will be flooded out soon so it doesnt matter.
Wondering if the lot will be elevated at all? Gotta put that mud from channelizing the bayous somewhere.
Metro National is dumping nearly all of the land they own in that area.
Kimley-Horn is not a developer. They are an engineering consulting firm.
They likely pulled the permit for their client to keep their clients name secret.
