Two Projects Run Into Trouble
By: Kevin Buchanan
A couple of comments left over the last few days shed some light on projects that had slipped off the radar. First, thurman52 reports that the garage and associated development at The Village at Camp Bowie seems to have been shelved, at least for the time being:
It looks like the developers have canned the garage plans. The building in the back that was going to be demolished as part (La Playa)is under going a facelift. I guess the garage can move further West and scale it down but he Lay Playa people said the deal was dead.
Over in the Cultural District, JP writes of the planned Presidio townhomes by CityHomes across the street from Montgomery Plaza:
I talked with a Centex rep yesterday. He said that they are pulling out of this proposed project on Carroll because there’s too much competition with Montgomery Plaza and So7 (and even those places aren’t selling as quickly as planned).

The bubble was going to burst and at least it did that we won’t loose all the developments. It seems that when our city gets hold of a lot of neat projects this type of nightmare happens. I hope that the development along West Seventh doesn’t fizzle to. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
