MIXED USE CASE STUDY: WEST AVE @ RIVER OAKS

|

LOCATION: Houston, Texas This carefully planned urban community is not only designed to accommodate its residents, but also its surrounding neighbors. The project houses retail and restaurants that are conveniently located on the lower floors, while the upper levels host apartments and amenities. Residents have the convenience of access to food and shopping right beneath them and in return the businesses located within the project have a constant costumer base.
