The other sites an old office building at 7,001 West in Parkway, which stayed flip into a five-story setup holding 200. 75 apartments, plus some shops on the ground floor. Flat irons are already in planning, while this one's still fighting for rezoning approval. Locals in the Western Manor area aren't thrilled. Calling the office a bad fit now and worrying a big residential swap will jam up traffic big time. One resident questioned how traffic studies claim only minor changes from offices to homes. Cain Realty pushed back, saying they've shifted the building farther from neighbors and studies back no real peak hour spike.
