phillip_white Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I spoke to the gentleman who was working at the gas station on the proposed site of Alexan Main Street and he vehemently denied that there would be an apartment built there. He said that they had refused all offers to purchase the property. If Alexan has purchased all of the other lots, maybe there will be a retail component after all... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillip_white Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 They've installed brick on the lower level of the East and North sides. It's starting to look marvelous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Urby, are we sure the other Alexan is still happening? There are signs on the property that make it seem like they are trying to sell it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 This is a very nice looking apartment project for Midtown. I really like their use of brick. Unlike the project a little farther south in between San Jacinto and Fannin close to Southmore. I don't know what the name of the property is, but its a fairly new 5 or 6 story apartment building with fall colored faux trees. This property looks terrible and its probably less than 3 years old. I liked it when it when it was first announced, because it was one of the first new super sized urban projects on the rail, but the problem with so much of the stuff that these developers are putting up is the choice of exterior materials. When are architects, designers, and developers going to realize you can't depend on the quality and workmanship in using stucco for an exterior material in Houston unless its done right which for the most part just isn't happening.I know why its done. Its cheap. This building is covered in mould and mildew and it looks really bad up close. I drove by yesterday and couldn't believe how much mould had formed all over the building. I will say it one more time. Stucco should not be allowed for commercial projects in this city. Most of the times you will see crews tearing out the old and putting in new. Not once or twice but several times. It just doesn't work in this climate unless your willing to spend the money and hire a reputable firm to do it right. Brick is the best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swtsig Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 really liking the brick as well... this has a very timeless look to it. hopefully they still intend on putting the vertical sign on the corner as well as i think that is a nice touch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urbanize713 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I visited this place today. Looking for the next landing spot. This and 3800 are in the race for nicest apartments in Midtown. According to the agent 15% pre-leased. First move in's are mid November. Should be fully open first of the year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillip_white Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Night shot with Tarakaan in the foreground. They only have a little bit of sidewalk work to wrap up the exterior. A sign on Main says it's now open. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
