houstontexasjack Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) Interesting. I think this will replace that run-down strip center across from the Hampstead on Blodgett. As someone with a direct interest in this neighborhood, here's hoping....wait for it....this place has Ground Floor Retail. :-) Edited January 1, 2015 by houstontexasjack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
por favor gracias Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I'm assuming that the name will change to "The Nelson" in a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

por favor gracias Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Wherefore? Does this developer have a naming pattern? I wasn't really referring to the developer...but wasn't "The Carter" previously named "The Chelsea?" If not, MY MISTAKE w/ egg all over my face...

toxtethogrady Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) For some reason, no one likes naming things "Chelsea". Though it is one of the poshest districts in London. Edited January 2, 2015 by toxtethogrady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstontexasjack Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/morning_call/2015/01/with-falling-oil-prices-museum-district-project.html The project may be delayed (not too surprising), but the article indicates it is to be a "midrise multifamily and retail project atop a podium garage." I am glad to see some retail is part of the plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Urbannizer Posted September 1, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2015 Deccan Development (Sponsor) is constructing a 95-unit, luxury multi-family complex (“The Chelsea”) in Houston, Texas. This project is located in the highly desirable Museum District area, within 2-3 miles of the two major employment hubs, Texas Medical Center and Downtown Houston. The Chelsea fills a need in the Museum District for luxury high-rise apartments that are competitively priced, have a full set of amenities, and have a more exclusive feel compared to older buildings or newer luxury complexes that are much denser. The total project cost is estimated to be $34.5 million, of which $14 million (40.6%) is equity, and $20.5 million (59.4%) is debt. The land has been procured, and pre-development work is well under way. The City of Houston has granted planning pre-development approval; Soil testing and environmental surveys are complete; Architect and Engineering plans are close to completion. Developer expects to break ground in October, 2015. The construction period is 18 months. - See more at: http://crowd-lender.com/CampaignDetails.aspx?campid=14#sthash.d9uO7XeQ.dpuf 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose1100 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Randal Davis has some competition. I really hope we're looking at the garage, 6 levels looks justified by how narrow it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Is this different from the proposed "Chelsea at Museum District" off Blodgett? See link below:http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/morning_call/2015/01/with-falling-oil-prices-museum-district-project.htmlIf so, it begs the question as to how many proposed projects can be named 'The Chelsea.' Maybe it's a stand-in, like "Robert Paulson" from Fight Club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminare Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Randal Davis has some competition. I really hope we're looking at the garage, 6 levels looks justified by how narrow it is. From how open it is in the view. That definitely looks like the garage. Only in Houston does the garage get its own rendering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstontexasjack Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) According to the sponsor, it will be between 1501-1507 Blodgett across from the Hampstead (just got the confirmation). It is one and the same as that other "Chelsea at Museum District" project that was referenced on another forum. Edit: I got another update. Looks as though this will be 8 stories tall and feature a pool deck on the rooftop. It is billed as being swankier than the Hampstead across the street.

JoninATX Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'm sure this building would have to be larger than 8 or 9 stories if there planning on building a 6 story parking garage. Otherwise that would be a waste of space, not to mention ugly since it would stick out like a sore thumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JoninATX Posted September 2, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) Update, it's now saying it will be 18 stories.

BigFootsSocks Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'm beginning to question the need for 6+ floors of parking for only 35 condos, unless everyone that lives there drives a stretch limo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Maybe each condo gets a 3 car garage? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFootsSocks Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 So about 105 spaces, whereas Skyhouse has 500 spaces and a 5 or 6 story garage. I'm pretty sure that "35 condos" number is wrong, or they're banking on public parking as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Looks like the pool deck is on the 8th floor, and I misinterpreted that to be a rooftop pool. My bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make sense to put the amenities on the pool level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
