Proposal considered for high-rise in Upper Kirby area

A proposal for a new high-rise is getting a lot of attention, partly because of the design.

The high-rise would be built at West Alabama and Wesleyan in the Upper Kirby area of town. The design calls for an unusual spiral effect from the ground to 39 floors up. The high-rise would include 250 rental units.

The developer is still working on securing a construction loan.
