Wow more residential keeps poping up in downtown.

[urban909]

Very cool. BTW, what is Watershed Market (mentioned on pg. 2 of the slide)? Ran it through a search engine and didn't find anything.

[Naviguessor]

Very close to one of the two additional convention center hotels, proposed East of 59.

[Montrose1100]

Would it be so terribly expensive if they put in some hanging/growing plants over the parking garage area?

It's by the same developer, so I'm guessing he nixed the hotel. I haven't looked close enough yet to determine if its the same site but it looks like it.

[htownproud]

a lot of very white people in the rendering for that part of town 

[Naviguessor]

...and a very white dog too. 

Rather sad that the Hotel Project may not happen.  However...Residental/Retail ain't too bad.  Wonder what the developer has in mind for the block to the north.  Maybe the Hotel idea is still being considered...just on one block.  Still could be a tower without a large ballroom/meeting room facility.  Having some retail across the street wouldn't hurt that concept.

However..."EaDo" in lights on two newly revealed projects?!  Gawd!

Is this not taking up two blocks, once again taking away another street? It looks like it per the link site location.

Two blocks are highlighted on the site location map for the project but the renderings all look to be for just one block. Maybe Nips hotel will be on the other block???

^  The narrative included in the initial post clearly states ONE city block:

 

"Taking up whole city block, located on SE corner of the George R Brown Convention Center, bound by Clay, St. Emanuel, Bell & Chartres."

 

 

 

The hotel site is the block to the north...Bell, St. Emanuel, Polk & Chartres.

[little frau]

Horrible name. 

[Arternative]

Horrible name. 

 

 

Trey Ward Trap?

[Triton]

The property

I like it, its not super noteworthy, but makes for good infill. Just wish it was actually inside the loop.

[brijonmang]

Stupid.  Should have built this in Midtown.

Huh ??  It is inside the loop.....

[Trae]

Huh ?? It is inside the loop.....

To a lot of people the loop does not extend past 288 and 45. Still a funny comment tho.

[Texasota]

Maybe he meant inside the "loop" formed by 10, 45 and 59 around Downtown as opposed to the actual 610 Loop.

[Naviguessor]

Good survey question.

What do you consider "the loop"?

Never mind

[LTAWACS]

I agree the name is horrible but the location is not bad.

This. Sorry for the confusion.

Uh, it is inside "the loop."

[cloud713]

He meant the inner inner inner loop.. 59/45/10. Lol.

I dig this project but agree it would be nice if they covered the parking garage with vines. It's not too bad though.. Hopefully they score some nice retail or that much needed grocery store.

Won't the project be isolated behind grb after they build the grb expansion? Or is it on the edge along the street the east end streetcar is supposed to go down into downtown?

Edit, looks like its 1 block north of the east west line into downtown, but may be along the north/south streetcar line?

[Gary]

I kind of figured, But I've been here a long time and have never heard that called "the loop."

St. Emanuel St. is the main drag in EaDo. It's a good enough location, I have a friend who used to live in the Ballpark Lofts and it's just like living in Midtown except a little quieter and the rent's sightly cheaper (or was). Nice infill, I'm sure we'll see plenty of freeway shots of it's construction.
