There is already speculation on the real estate in DTPA. According to Source


""Why cant you build all of the buildings 2 stories high and out of wood""

I should replace my blasphemy of Robert Service with that! Dumbass here doesn't realise that we can build more than two storeys high. And he also doesn't realise how fucking taxing sprawl is on a declining city. We can put wood on the façade, have it in the interior, like they did with the hospital. (Which people also hate because "It looks like it's covered in scaffolding!/I don't like Yellow!/Why is it in a swamp??/Three floors is too tall!!/I hate windows!")

As far as I can tell by the Source article they might look something like this:



But nicer, and with a set back on one side.

Also, the article said they're all 6 storeys, and there will be 108 condo units, a bit much, but if people move back downtown it could work.
