Description:
The redevelopment of the Allen Parkway Village involved the partial razing of an historic but
troubled housing project within sight of Downtown Houston. Sixteen of the existing apartment buildings were retained
as was the Community Center and the Administration Building. The existing three story apartment buildings were
converted into housing for the elderly while the remaining two-story buildings were renovated to house families.
In the balance of the site, new Rowhouse and Garden type apartments were built. At the east end of the site a public
park was created for the enjoyment of all and to serve as a buffer from the adjacent elevated expressway.
A total of 500 new and renovated apartment units were made available to lower income families. (278 new units; 222 renovated units)
Completion Date: 1998 |
