I have a question that popped into my head thinking about how downtown's changed in the last ten years and the new announcement at Hemisfair -
What changed from the last boom to this one that led to more interest in low rises along the fringe?
During the last building cycle, we got 3 tall downtown residential options - Vistana, Vidorra, and Alteza. And one tower farther out - The Broadway. This time it's all been lower height options in Southtown and around Pearl.
I understand the condo finance rules changed, but Vistana has been full since it opened. Yet no new mid-rise apartments 'til Hemisfair.
Did construction costs go up? were those anamolies? ... Ideas?
