Triton Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Noticed a good amount of construction activity. Couldn't find anything on the web. Anyone have any idea what's happening there? If anyone can't take photos, I'll see if I can swing back by on Wednesday after work to get a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HNathoo Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 This was being marketed a while back. Maybe they found a buyer.http://www.loopnet.com/Listing/18460615/1700-Hamilton-St-Houston-TX/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 What did you see going on at the site? Ok, decided to drive by right now. We're talking about a lot of activity on southern half and the northeast corner as well (Almost all the lot, in other words): Block 360 by Marc longoria, on Flickr On the south side, there's 2 construction loaders for dirt/gravel, 7 to 8 TSC freight-sized containers, one large Waste Management disposal container, lumber, and two fairly large mounds of dirt. On the north side, there's concrete pieces that appear to be for drainage and I believe I saw a stack of bricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I've seen this a couple of times but assumed it was staging for something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 I've seen this a couple of times but assumed it was staging for something else At first I thought it was for Hamilton Apartments but it's two blocks away and they already have a staging area. Not quite sure what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HNathoo Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 This is owned by an entity that has "Hospitality" in its name - maybe another hotel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 There is a Hamilton Hospitality operated by Ali & Kareida Karim. I don't know what other projects they have done but that might be who is developing this block and I hope these aren't the Wendy's and burger King guys who owned the Wendys that cut down all the trees. Hopefully not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HNathoo Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I think the dhanani's were the Wendy's guys that cut down the trees on Kirby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andre154 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Could it be a Candlewood Suites? It seems the same property owner developed the Candlewood Suites in Pearland. He also has gone by "Currim" and owns Space City Liquors down in Clear Lake. So, basically, it could be anything. http://www.buzzfile.com/business/Candlewood-Suites-Pearland-281-412-7400http://www.buzzfile.com/business/Space-City-Liquor-281-980-1159 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cspwal Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 After no activity for a couple of weeks, there's a back hoe running around spreading dirt flat on the lot. If I remember I'll try to grab a picture on my way home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Maybe surface parking to make some $$$ until they can find a buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
