A very quick summary of a long, long peek over the construction fence at Kirby Dr. and Colquitt St. shows the progress to date on the mixed-use Kirby Collection development. Developer Thor Equities has been working over the former site of the Kirby funeral bars since last fall, and has reached the top level of the complex’s parking garage. Thor plans to have the main skeleton of the office tower done by November and to put the last structural bits of the ellipse-footed residential tower in place by early 2017.

Making Short Work Of It
Can you post some idea for middle class neighborhoods for normal people which are not in the suburbs and do not include Meadow Creek (which is utterly surrounded by less than desirable everything)? Thanks.
