  1. It's not on the Planning Commission web site yet but this makes me think they might be demolishing the old Chase bank for new residences.
  2. Just heard that the Monaco Condos are a no-go. Apparently, the price points were too high for the typical Houstonian who wants more space than a hi-rise can offer! I have heard that they still plan on building a hi-rise on that site but they will revamp the entire project, drop many of the amenities, and start with lower price points and fewer units (thus, most likely a much smaller building). Was told this will be about 3 years away from actually happening though. http://www.monacocondo.com/enlarge/images/new_monaco.jpg
  3. I just came across a CoH multi-family plat titled Uptown River Oaks for 3.4 acres along Briar Hollow just north of San Felipe. It's in today's planning commission agenda. According to the paperwork, it's planned for 311 units. The plat seems to include the property that the Briar Way cul-de-sac is within and the parking lot to the south.
  4. Does anyone know what the radio tower on top of bayou lofts(?) is/was used for and if its still in use? Pointless question I was just curious.
  5. I was told today that they plan to build another one on the block south of their downtown site. However, I think he said it wouldn't be for 10 more years. I guess a lot could happen in that time.

  6. Originally called the Kirby Lumber Company Building located at 917 Main Street in Downtown Houston. Designed by local Houston "Star Architect" Alfred C. Finn as well. Anyone have the scoop on Kirby Lofts? They look neat. There are on Main next to CVS/1001 McKinney.
  7. Exxon building, love it or hate it? Why? http://www.houstonarchitecture.info/Images/Buildings/Downtown/ExxonMobil-001.jpg (Image courtesy of artefaqs.com)
  8. Someone mentioned this in the development thread, and I can confirm this will be going up. Official announcement and construction will begin this quarter, didn't get the exact location.
  9. This residential house is pretty interesting. It's in the middle of a large 100-acre (ish) MD Anderson campus called MD Anderson East Campus. This is one instance where the home owners refuse to sell to the company. There's a thread on HAIF somewhere dedicated the "hold outs." Pictures I took today. All of MD Anderson's vacant land a long Almeda Road.
  10. Saw this appear recently. Is this another phase/expansion of Auxiliary Enterprises University Housing at 1885 El Paseo St. ? https://www.uth.edu/buy/bid-list.htm
  11. I was recently introduced to the Ronald McDonald House so I picked this forum to post this thread knowing the compassion of many of our memebers-even though it may be more appropriate in "off topic"-or perhaps elswhere on the internet. Any of you guys who think you know as a "flame throwing, anti-corporate liberal" I sometimes come off looking like, I have to tell you, this is where liberals and conservatives fall off the map. I have recently had the honor to visit some of these kids and if anyone is more deserving in our community of our support, it's these little guys. I would just urge you to look into what this place provides for these kids and their families and consider throwing a buck or two [or an hour or two] their way to make their lives a little easier for however long or short a time they may have left. https://www.ronaldmcdonaldhousehouston.org/AboutTheHouse.htm
  12. 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.

  14. 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

  16. 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.
  17. 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.

  19. 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...
  20. 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.
  21. 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.

  23. http://swamplot.com/where-youll-see-the-new-42-story-highrise-on-hermann-dr/2013-08-09/ Another 40+ story tower for Houston? And this one is supposed to having a twisting facade?! Great time to be in Houston!
  24. 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?
