High Rise at Ashby and Bissonnet to loom over neighborhood!

Sign the Petition

Picture the shadow a 266-foot building casts over a surrounding neighborhood of 30-foot homes in winter and summer. Visualize what will happen to traffic on neighborhood two-lane streets when you add 500 more cars each day emptying out of a high-rise. Imagine the joy of looking out from your lovely garden into a six story parking garage which is 10 feet away and a 23-story tower rising 266 feet into the air.

Kevin Kirton and Matthew Morgan, principals in a company known as Buckhead Investments, have purchased the property currently known as Maryland Manor on the corner of Bissonnet and Ashby. Their intent is to reshape our concept of urban living by placing a 23 story high rise in our midst. These two gentleman do not live in Houston but prefer the restricted areas of West University and Southside Place, where local development regulations (zoning) provide protection against out of scale projects.
