Gary Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Sorry about the repeated post I made about "inside the loop." Scrolled through fast initially and didn't see the other comments. Still an odd comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 They took down the variance request sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 The variance hearing was October 31. Staff recommended approval of the variance. Presumably, it was approved. (Meeting minutes are not on-line yet.) Interesting stuff from the Agenda: Most of the walls on the ground floor will be glass, allowing the pedestrians on the public sidewalk interesting views into the building as well as allowing the people working in the retail space to view activity on the sidewalk and street. These viewing opportunities not only make it more attractive for pedestrians to walk beside the building but also make it safer for people outside and inside. Sidewalks will be wide with enhanced paving and benches. Paving will extend from the building wall to the curb. This will result in a 16.5’ sidewalk on Clay, a 12.8’ sidewalk on Bell, a 14.5’on Chartres and 19.5’ on St. Emanuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 None. There was caution tape around a tree but I don't know if that's been there the entire time or not. What I was talking about.

sdotwill84 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I too wondered what was the hold up. I read it was to start 4Q13 and finish in 2015. Dont think that will happen now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I would be interested in moving into this place. I called PMI to follow up as to the status of this project. The receptionist took a message and should have someone call me back early next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I got a call back on this project today. It is still in the 'planning and due diligence' stages but appears to be grinding forward. I hoped for a more definite timeline, but at least there wasn't an indication that this was dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naviguessor Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Saw a tall green fence, with construction company signs around one of these blocks yesterday. Maybe the fence has been up for a while. But, I hadn't noticed it until yesterday.Hope that a grocery store is still part of the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Continued movement on this is good to hear. A grocery store would do wonders to spur additional development in the area--eliminating the 'food desert' problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 You guys are right! Lot is completely fenced off now. 2014-06-17 19.38.14 by marclongoria, on Flickr GHJ Construction Inc. It's a Beijing company... looking at their portfolio, they work on HUGE projects. Maybe this is the 80-story----- Nah, just kidding. 2014-06-17 19.10.33 by marclongoria, on Flickr Random but I don't know if anyone ever posted a picture of this... 2014-06-17 19.13.22 by marclongoria, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LS27 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Kirksey signs up on the fence for that lot. Signs of hope that this is moving forward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I went by this lot yesterday. Still no activity and I'm surprised we haven't seen anything on the web yet. This is just an opinion, but I think this project will be bigger than we think. Anyone take a look at the projects that GHJ has done? They are huge. Plus, Gensler is the architect firm? I don't know... this could just be a multi-family unit but I smell a tower. Again, just a total guess and I haven't heard anything in the backend channels.

houstontexasjack Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Given the apartment shortage in Houston, I think there would be a market for additional units in a scaled-up version of this project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything above 10 or 12 stores would be utterly brilliant. We shall see...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxtethogrady Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I don't expect more than a five-story wrap, myself. That's about what 216 units becomes in this town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
