Does anyone remember the details of the old plan and know how this compares? I looked for the old plan by the prior developer didn't find much.
We're looking at a difference of about 500 units and the addition of a hotel; great(er) use of the space than the previous plans had. Keep in mind, Pearl also is about 22 acres so that kind of density in that area will definitely have an affect on the surrounding neighborhoods around Roosevelt Park.
But you're right about the gated part; I too hope that it loses the "compound" feel and integrates itself a bit more to Lone Star Blvd.
