It would replace the Office Depot on Oak Lawn, next to the Melrose Hotel.

They have serious limits to what they can fight developers on so let's stop blaming them if Total Wine which has not even gotten approval for construction let alone its design or Starbucks which has not even put up a fence for demolition and could possibly never be built.
It had nearly 100% DISAPPROVAL from the neighborhood OLC members, but the board passed it anyway (how much of the payday do they get?).

Wah wah wah. They didn't like that project for NIMBY suburbia issues - but they ain't in suburbia, they are just a few blocks from downtown. If that's an example of one the OLC got wrong, the Committee is useless and should be dissolved.

The request for substantial financial municipal participation in all of these developments is appropriate, without question, and that participation is pedestrian infrastructure improvements

It's actually old news. Another generic infill project; that's probably why u didn't remember it.
Oden Hughes Oak Lawn is currently in the entitlement phase, seeking increased height and density to replace an existing big-box retail building with a mixed-use development that will strengthen the walkability and urban nature of Oak Lawn Avenue. Oden Hughes and GFF have proposed a predominantly masonry eight- story building that respects the scale and materials of the historic Melrose Hotel on the neighboring site to the north. The development will provide 6,000 SF of restaurant space opening to Oak Lawn Avenue and 330 residential units including live-work style ground level units along Dickason Avenue. Amenities including a pool will be located on level 3 within a courtyard opening to Oak Lawn. The building has been designed to preserve many of the mature live oak trees along Oak Lawn and Dickason Avenue.
