Great find, but that only puts the height at around 300 to 325 feet judging by the nearby buildings.

And nice angle on the San Jacinto street wall over there.

And I think the redevelopment of Rainey is going to be organic. Don't expect there to be developers just coming in and buying and demoing all the houses. Obviously, some of them are fine as is and can be restored and re-purposed as bars or coffee shops or other small businesses.

It's going to be the houses that are falling apart where the owners are looking for a way out. Have you ever seen the leaning house of Rainey?
