  1. There is a request for a variance pending before the planning commission for Oct 2 for the Freedman's distributor site on Waverly and W 6th down below the bike path. 8.65 acres. Seeking a building line variance from 25 feet to 10 feet. No indication what, if anything, is planned for the property. Freedam's looks to have been bought out by Grocer's Supply. The latter also has been consolidating operations into a new space in the 1st ward. No idea whether they are going to sell, are selling or have sold or whether they will redevelop the property with modern warehouse space.
  2. Someone please tell me more about this project. This would be for the Texas Medical Center at the corner of Main & Holcombe, where the Bank of America building sits. http://www.slideshare.net/QingjingZuo/smilodon-rendering-collection-20154-47319504

  4. Covenant House Texas expanding services https://www.tmc.edu/news/2019/08/covenant-house-texas-expanding-services/ The organization has launched a capital campaign—Building for Life, Homelessness to Hope—that aims to raise about $25 million over the next three to five years, Executive Director Leslie Bourne said. In July, Covenant House Texas purchased an office building across the street, on Lovett Boulevard. The structure will be a key component of a campus reconstruction and expansion project. To bring attention to this daily crisis, Texas Medical Center President and CEO William “Bill” McKeon will oversee Covenant House Texas’ largest annual fundraiser on Nov. 21. As honorary chair of the 2019 Sleep Out: Executive Edition, McKeon hopes to raise $1 million by seeking the commitment of Houston business leaders—many of whom will spend the night outside to more closely connect with the reality of homelessness. “We’re here to draw awareness to some- thing we drive by every day and don’t see,” McKeon said during a spring luncheon with young adults on campus, noting that youth aren’t top-of-mind for many people who think about or encounter the homeless.
  5. They just put up a sign on the front of the St. Germain saying that there will be a special auction on March 12th...and some info about financing contacts...interesting. I saw them put up the sign an hour ago...
  6. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/nb/cyf...ws/4399953.html ...future focal point of Bridgeland will be its 1,000-acre Town Center on both sides of Grand Parkway. The center will feature retail, multiple-family homes, space for a college satellite, medical facilities and offices. The center's construction time frame will depend on the completion of Grand Parkway, but Houghton said it probably would begin between 2013 and 2015. This area is exploding. It already has a greater population than the greater Woodlands area, and now they're going to stick a Woodlands-sized community in, with all of the other new communities planned/underway? I hope they get to work on 290 soon.
  7. The building on the corner of Colquitt St. and Driscoll St. is being demolished. Not sure if it's going to be a part of the 3 others properties GIA bought but is next to them. Gia guy told me they bought the 3 houses for a future project like the 1836 Richmond Gia apartments.
  8. State board approves demolition of senior living facility at 2100 Memorial https://communityimpact.com/houston/heights-river-oaks-montrose/city-county/2019/09/05/2100-memorial-demolition/ The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs has approved the demolition of an affordable senior living complex that was flooded during Hurricane Harvey and has since faced legal obstacles from residents. Some of the last remaining tenants at 2100 Memorial Drive, Houston, have until March 1, 2020 to voluntarily move out. If all tenants vacate before then, demolition can take place earlier, TDHCA Director of Asset Management Rosalio Banuelos told board members Sept. 4. The building, which originally was a repurposed Holiday Inn hotel, will be rebuilt with five stories and 196 units. It will remain in use as an affordable senior living facility, the Houston Housing Authority confirmed. The existing facility had 197 units. “If this place of went to commercial developers, the prices on the sales or rentals would be astronomical, so it’s so good that we’re taking this action … preserving this incredible site for affordable housing,” TDHCA board member Leo Vasquez said. The decision marks the first significant progress in the project following a two-year long legal battle that tenants initiated after they received notice shortly after Harvey that their leases were terminated and they must vacate the property within five days, court documents state.

  13. The architecture firm Jones & Tabor Architects designed the residence of W.A. Burkett that was built in the historic neighborhood Avondale. The building was constructed in January 9, 1910. Awesome looking house! Can't exactly tell what's behind, or on top, of the house. I know there are some historians on HAIF. Does anyone know the exact address?
  14. Edwin Parker was a partner in a law firm a long with James A. Baker, and Baker Botts in the firm Baker, Botts, Parker, & Garwood Built in January 23, 1910 by architects Sanguinet & Staats. Once built, it became ownership of C.R. Wharton, an employee of the company. The house was located at 803 Hadley Street in Midtown.
  15. Hi All, I'm new to the forum and was just looking for insight on Franklin Lofts. I've been through one of their open-house events and was pretty impressed overall. The building is beautiful and has a lot of pros in my mind. I'm considering trying to buy there but just wanted some feedback before I start making any serious decisions. This is what I've come up with so far: Edit: The building was originally the First National Bank at 201 Main Street. Pros: 1.) Location 2.) (Relatively) Low HOA fees 3.) Historic tax exemption 4.) Spacious floorplans/hardwood floors 5.) Parking, etc. Cons: 1.) Good Value?? 2.) Cheap looking cabinets, kitchen area I keep finding myself going back and forth so any opionions or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Developers presented plans for the project – located at Hood and Brown streets near Fairmount – at this week’s Oak Lawn Committee meeting. Units in the tower would average more than 2,200 square feet, with only four residences per floor. Parking would be in an underground garage, and a second-floor amenity area would include a swimming pool."
  18. Anyone have access to this article? Houston may soon get its own Crystal Lagoon
  19. Drove down South Wynden Drive today to look around the surrounding neighborhood. Found a few old ranch houses that don't fit the neighborhood. One home at 32 South Wynden sits on a massive lot! This is (or was?) being marketed for sale by Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty. Unrestricted lot - Residential * Commercial. Lot Size: 40,812 Sq Ft. Photo I took today:

  24. http://blogs.houston...f_towers_30.php http://pcparch.com/project/four-leaf-towers First, how long did it take for these towers to become nearly fully occupied? I'm just a little surprised 30 years ago we could have built two tall condo towers and today we cannot. I'm sure there are factors as to why that I'm not aware of. I can't even imagine Houston building one, much less two 40-story condo towers these days.
