, allowing permits to be granted for vertical construction of the 20-story apartment complex at the Boulevard Oaks site where the controversial Ashby high rise was first proposed more than 15 years agoto begin ground work for the project, but it had not yet received approvals to start vertical construction. The Dallas-based development firm had planned to start construction in April, although the project doesn't appear to have broken ground at 1717 Bissonnet.
"We’re very disappointed," said Pete Patterson, an attorney representing some neighbors who oppose The Langley."We’re reviewing our options and we’ll be making a decision with respect to legal action in the near future." Councilmember Abbie Kamin, whose District C includes the Boulevard Oaks neighborhood, said in a statement she would continue working to ensure residents' concerns were addressed.
Last year, Street Lights Residential said its new proposal would feature fewer units than the Ashby in an attempt to respond to resident’s concerns about traffic.
