The Harrisburg bridge is a good vantage point. Looking west you have the vast city, almost as expansive from the 610 bridge. To the east, you have the stacks upon stacks upon stacks of refineries along the ship channel.

I'd forgotten how good the Sherman bridge is for that view. Looks like Google Maps does a good enough job of getting it since the camera is high enough above the barrier to see. About the only group not connected is the Greenspoint cluster which is further out and to the north, but can be seen (not in this picture) if you know where to look.

^ I took my photos towards the bottom of that bridge where the chain link fence ended. I also used a prime lens which resulted in a tighter shot of the skyline (no TMC)

Some downtown apartment occupancy stats/post from TheSirDingle @ HAIF

Quote:
Residential Market

Occupancy Rate: 85.6%

Note: Up from 84.1% last quarter and 82.2% the quarter before

The amount of units built, U/C, and planned are the same rn but I'm gonna post them anyway

Residential Units: 6,279 units

Under Construction: 1,317 units

Planned: 275 units

Multifamily Rental Prices

Downtown's rent PSFM (Per Square Foot Month) is the highest its been since April 2020, with 136 Class A units absorbed (whatever Class A means) in the second quarter. Downtown's rents are also the strongest in the loop at a healthy $2.12 PSFM, which is higher/outpacing Midtown/Montrose ($1.91 PSFM), the Heights ($1.86 PSFM), and Upper Kirby/Highland Village ($1.83 PSFM).

On another note it is said by specialists that Downtown's Multifamily is in comeback mode with the market absorbing more apartments units in the past 90 days than it did in the final six months of 2020. This is also without move-in specials, and with less than a dozen properties offering some type of leasing concessions, in comparison Midtown has 20 properties and the Heights has 23 properties doing concessions.

I think what you are probably remembering is when the Census Bureau combined Dallas and Fort Worth into one Metro area. The two combined were bigger than Houston metro (and Houston/Galveston combined) prior to that date. 1960 and likely earlier.

That first shot of Texas Tower by cityliving almost looks like a rendering. Amazing work.

Amazing how much the Post Oak area has changed in the last 5-7 years.
