Nice looking mixed-use infil development! An urban village is just what the Cultural District needs!

Turned out really good!

Question: what's up with the almost non-existent balconies?

[FortWorthology]

There's a term for those kind of balconies, but I can't remember what it is. Something to do with Romeo & Juliet. Basically allows you to open the big doors on the exterior of the unit without actually having a full balcony space.

The top-floor units and the corner units all have huge balconies, so I suppose it's also something of an incentive/bonus for people getting bigger apartments.

Also, the hotel component is likely to be dropped in favor of 100 more lofts over retail, due to the strong leasing demand seen thus far with the first round of lofts.

First tenants should be opening in October, including Movie Tavern, Tillman's Roadhouse, Paciugo, and Yofe. More in December, including LA Fitness, Bailey's Prime Plus, Patrizio, and Delaney's Irish Pub. Lucky Strike Lanes will be opening in March 2010 due to a delay in their Houston location.

Interesting. First time I've ever heard of or seen them.

Took a panorama of West 7th today. Took it with an iPhone 3GS using the AutoStitch app, so I'm pretty proud of how it turned out:
