DrLan34 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 "Good Neighbor Healthcare Center, which is developing a $19 million facility on West Gray..." "Good Neighbor is building a 45,000-square-foot center slated to open in late 2013." http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/morning_call/2012/05/5M-grant-awarded-to-help-build-inner-loo.html As of now, it seems like the facility will only go on the single corner lot at 277 W Gray St. The lot to the east and and the lot to the southeast are not part of this development. Those are currently being market by Stream Realty. http://www.streamrealty.com/portfolio/#property-details?propId=873 The San Jose Clinic at 2615 Fannin St. is three stories and 55,000 sq. ft. http://www.sanjoseclinic.org/images/PDF/Texas_Architect.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyM Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Executive Director Janet Donath said in a statement. “While we couldn’t be more grateful to the city for their support, we have always known that we needed to return to the heart of the community.” I fail to see how the corner of W Gray and Taft is the heart of their demographic. Long term the 4th ward is being redeveloped with the rest of midtown. This location makes little sense beyond a 10 year window, it would be much more appropriate nearer Gray and 59 with the rest of the social services buildings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortune Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Another disappointing development, would have been a great site for a multi family project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLan34 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Another disappointing development, would have been a great site for a multi family project.It will be the headquarters. Something like the clinic at 2615 Fannin could add to the street level if they do it right.http://www.gnhc.org/about_history_completehistory.html"New Capital CampaignGood Neighbor Healthcare Center embarked on a $15-million capital campaign to build a new community health center on its former location at West Gray in downtown Houston. While the existing clinic on Heights Boulevard and the satellite location in the Northside community will continue to provide health care services, the new West Gray location was envisioned by GNHC’s Board of Directors and leadership as Good Neighbor’s permanent headquarters."

DrLan34 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) So I have some more information on this. 4 Story building along Gray - Northern side will have a garden/gathering area - Drop off area - 100 person community conference room 2+ story garage directly behind building - South side of buildingCommunity Garden - Along O-Neil or Taft... not exactly sure Ground breaking is expected to occur between September-December 2013 Edited April 22, 2013 by DrLan34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chi-Char-Hou-Dal Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Doesn't seem like a good fit for the neighborhood - but who am I to judge? There's a couple of empty / neglected buildings on the other side of Taft - be interesting to see what they turn into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texasota Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I'm also not sure I understand how this facility doesn't "fit." Montrose is still a relatively mixed neighborhood with homeless teens, starving artists and students. Yes, Midtown keeps marching west, but so what? Yuppies won't use a clinic they can walk to?

nyc_tex Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 It's on the original location according to the video. Great for them and they provide a wonderful and needed set of services for the community. I'm not sure how this doesn't fit the "community." I think alot of new people in midtown/Montrose don't fit the community and should return to the suburbs with their exclusionary mentalities.

But don't let me get in the way of the insults. Exclusionary? You just put huge amounts of people (suburbanites into one of your tiny boxes).

Chi-Char-Hou-Dal Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Reading and forgot I was the one who said might be bad fit - area is definitely changing and as I have said before freedmans town ( like it or not) is getting squeezed like a pimple from all directions.north - the huge new apt complex next to fedWest - new HS Campus and 500k tow homes west of thateast - new Camden / Post - bars ect as midtown expands towards greySouth - Condos galoreI think the shot gun houses should be preserved and restored - however people are missing the boat if they think that this will eventually happen. houston is booming - get Chevron or some big corp to help donate and fix up a single shot gun house - there's got to be a way.Nonsensical rant over - goodnight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htownproud Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Agreed -- this is good news. This was an awful location for this. Perhaps 20 years ago it would have worked, but it is no longer in the community it aims to serve. That said, I'm hoping this isn't more apartments. . . .
