Montrose1100 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 A lot of glamorous renderings popping up for the TMC. Having residents in the area will be the key to transforming it (as we have learned from Downtown). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OkieEric Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Is there a rendering for this? I was trying to figure out how many floors this might be. Not the most attractive surroundings for wealthy foreign visitors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTHONYHTOWN Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 i don't know if there are any additional renderings it just happened to be on the business journal this morning i am sure we will be hearing and seeing more about this soon.

asubrt Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Just to be clear, that picture is not a rendering nor is it even the actual location, it's just a stock picture of the med center. The building in the foreground is the new Baylor hospital at OST & Cambridge. The location of this project is Fannin & Lehall (just south of Braeswood), and it is only 27 units so probably not very tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ozone Files Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Exclusive: Proposed luxury rentals near Texas Medical Center to serve international patients per the business journal http://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/index.php?app=forums&module=post§ion=post&do=new_post&f=7 I think, maybe, you meant to paste this link instead: http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2015/05/11/exclusive-proposed-luxury-rentals-near-texas.html Here are some excerpts: Heritage plans to demolish an auto body shop — Med Center Collision — that is currently on the site, and build a high-end rental condominium project on the property, CEO Kayvon Haghpeykar told the Houston Business Journal. The project — called Aria at Medical Center — will have 27 rental units ranging in size from 1,500 to 3,000 square feet. The one- to three-bedroom units will be handicapped-accessible, fully furnished and feature modern, high ceilings and high-end fit and finishes. Rental prices will be about $3 or $4 per foot per month. The project will cater to an estimated 20,000 wealthy foreign visitors who travel to Houston each year for cutting-edge medical care in the world’s largest medical district: Texas Medical Center. Heritage is working with local architect EDI International, Inc. on the project’s design. Haghpeykar said he hopes to break ground on Aria at Medical Center in early 2016 and complete the project by the end of 2016.

OkieEric Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Only 27 units but the lot is less than half an acre (0.44 ac, I think). That's only ~20,000 sq ft so the floors can't be all that big Just wondering if this will be something similar in scale to One Montrose Place (also by Heritage Home builders), which is 7 stories. Just found this description of that development: One Montrose Place has seven floors containing 34 condo units and 4 penthouses. Floor areas range from 1,337 to 1,545 square feet for regular condos and 1,834 to 2,932 for penthouse suites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtterlyUrban Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 What the heck is a "rental condominium"?Separately, the Four Seasons Downtown has furnished apartments that they rent. I am aware that some of them are used by family/patients at the med center who have come for treatment from other locales. This new project will compete with that.
