It looks like the 11th time is the charm for developers Matthew Morgan and Kevin Kirton, whose proposed 23-story highrise on Ashby near Rice University has finally received approval from the city. In the past two years since the building was first proposed, the number of residences has been reduced from 226 to 210 and plans for executive suites, retail space and a spa have been scrapped in order to meet the projected traffic standards. Residents of Southampton who have made yellow "Stop Ashby Highrise" signs a semi-permanent fixture say they will continue their fight to preserve the character of their historic neighborhood.

1529 Indiana Street offers seamless living, where inside and outside elements blend together.
When home buyers want something that fully blends interior and outdoor space, the something they want would be a lot like 1529 Indiana Street. This bespoke residence, tucked into a corner lot along a historic brick-paved street, partially hidden behind a wide, wooden fence, is a beautiful expression of modern design.
It’s on the market for $2.575 million and represented by Vicki Barazandeh of Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty. The 3,900-square-foot home has three bedrooms and three full baths, along with a host of stunning details.
Originally belonging to a builder, developer, and art collector who designed the home in collaboration with Ragni Studio, the Hyde Park home has a downstairs main living area that opens to the pool and grass, creating a great room. The open space provides incredible sight lines, and the floor-to-ceiling windows allow for loads of natural light. The second-level primary bedroom floats over the pool below, providing shade while offering sweeping treetop views.
