I know what NIMBY stands for. Apparently my comment regarding the this project towering over the townhomes was construed as NIMBYsm. I haven’t heard anybody opposing the project. People I know living in the FM are posting Instagrams saying how excited they are.

They aren't as tall as the InTown units, they have a MUCH larger rooftop deck, and other than the DART ROW, they are immediately adjacent to the development.

The farmers market homeowners may absolutely love it.
But if you're this guy it has to be a wicked burn. On the bright side, the first 10 or so levels overlooking the house is just parking. Sunbathe in the nude at your peril.

Do you think they will still do the observation deck? That feature promised under the Drever regime surprised me because you're taking rentable space out of inventory for an amenity that isn't going to generate as much revenue.

Did some more digging. The Baptists sold the property to an entity connected to Todd Interests of Post Office and East Quarter fame. After seeing the EQ renderings this doesn’t surprise me - they like parking.
The only good thing coming from this is the property will once again be on the tax rolls.
