per 1705 Wakefield: Perry Homes has quite a few empty lots in the area that have sat now for months with no takers, so we’ll see.
Re 2201 Wirt Road/Hilton Town Apts: From Googlemaps, it appears these are the last buildings to go of what was once a very large complex on a large tract of land. Any idea of what all this land will become?
This week I received a shiny full-color foldout flyer from Perry Homes proudly announcing their presence in GOOF. (H/t whoever came up with the “GOOF” acronym.)
GOOF? Godzillas of Oak Forest?
Garden Oaks/Oak Forest.
GOOF sounds horrible, it’s about the same as EADO.
Just asinine.
They’ve been tearing down the Hilton Town for two decades now. I wonder if the Libyan businessman still owns the land?
That part of Spring Branch has a lot of little old gem neighborhoods. Unfortunately their appeal is greatly limited by all of the clapped-out apartment complexes and businesses geared towards low-income hispanic immigrants. It’s too bad.
