It's a shame it was that lot and not one nearby. The current buildings there (well... if they're still there at this point) are nicer than their surroundings. However, the project is, ofcourse, better than the old stuff.

Google Earth shows that they've been demolished.

What a great development. Demolishing suburban blight in favor of mised-use buildings? It doesn't get any better than that. And the cool thing is that these kinds of things are accumulative. One building can change the whole feel and character of an area. Other developers will see that building and conclude that it's an area they want to be in. So urbanism can kind if spread to the rest of the city.

This North Loop development is one of my favorites right now just because it's urbanism eliminating suburban blight and it's so far out.
