TheNiche Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 http://www.globest.com/news/802_802/houston/151420-1.htmlLast updated: December 14, 2006 02:14amLocal Developer Begins 236-Unit Phase IBy Amy Wolff SorterHOUSTON-Following receipt of a $26 million construction/permanent loan, local developer Long Reach Associates Ltd., operating under the name Dunlavy Development Phase I LLC, launched construction on the first phase of its Fairmont Museum District. The 236-unit first phase is anticipated for completion in late 2007 or early 2008. The project is situated on 2.7 acres at 4310 Dunlavy St. and Live Oak Capital Ltd. Production officer Jim Kirkpatrick tells GlobeSt.com that decision on a second phase will take place once plans are firmer for the Houston's Metro rail line. "Depending on what Metro does, there may be a retail component in the second phase, along with residential," says Kirkpatrick, who helped obtain $26 million in financing for the project's first phase.

houstonfella Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 (edited) Great news. I love that area of Montrose/Museum District. Thanks for the info. Edited December 14, 2006 by houstonfella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicMan Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Okay, this complex is zoned to the following Houston ISD schools: Lamar HS, Lanier MS, Poe ES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest danax Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Ah, the puzzle piece I've been needing....the puzzle being this topic here. And you all doubted Furious Jam......Mixed use waiting in the wings for the University Line to pass by. Maybe this will sway Metro and Congress to do the right thing.

The Great Hizzy! Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 ^^^ I agree. The area's current level of success as well as the potential of LRT through the area seem to make this project a likely candidate to eventually be converted into something more longterm.

OkieEric Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 First-time poster here...long-time lurkerI live just a few blocks from there, so it's definitely attracted my interest - is this really a good thing?? Anyone know of other complexes these guys have put up? I couldn't tell much by that sketch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OkieEric Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Oh yeah, and I forgot - do you guys think this could affect the planned development at Wilshire Village just a couple of blocks away? I haven't heard anything about it in a while, but was just curious...not sure the area can take bothThe Wilshire Village deal seems sort of dead in the water, anyway...

sevfiv Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 (edited) steinberg designed it...i'm not too impressed with their other stuff (the calais, ventana, left bank, etc).seems like standard run of the mill complexesit would be awesome if someone could get their hands on wilshire village and "purty it up."such a neat place, especially in terms of complexes... such a shame it is in its current condition Edited December 15, 2006 by sevfiv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largeTEXAS Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 steinberg designed it...i'm not too impressed with their other stuff (the calais, ventana, left bank, etc).seems like standard run of the mill complexesYeah, I agree sevfiv. In my opinion Steinberg's work is mediocre at best. I was hoping for something a little more design forward in this location...it is Montrose!

talltexan83 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I ate at La Tapatia for lunch yesterday, and took a walk around the "Fairmont" project. There was a lot of activity....10-15 trucks, land clearing, massive pipes, etc.....and I was surprised there had not been more activity on this message board. This is a large peice of land in a prime location with the potential to make a large impact in the area's redevelopment.Tapatia alone should make it one of the more sought after properties in town......

Jonah Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Does anybody have any renderings of this project? I couldn't find any on that site. Also what is the Franklin Tower they show on their website? I don't think I've ever heard or seen that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 (edited) I'd like to know more about this as well, since it's right around the corner from where I live. I hope it's going to be nice!At least now that they're working on it it won't be a mosquito breeding ground like it was last summer. The empty lot had bad drainage and was basically a large swamp!

Maybe both.I drive past this place daily, and the pictures do not do it justice; this place looks HUGE. A complex this size should do much to improve the commercial appeal of the area.

Maybe both.There is supposed to be a Metro stop at Richmond and Dunlavy, so I imagine they will go ahead with the retail phase once the residential phase is complete.

capnmcbarnacle Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Tower of Traffic!From what I read, the Ashby highrise would have 226 units. This monster has 236. Since this is being constructed on the south end of the block, bordering Ervan Chew Park, I suspect the ingress/egress will be on little 2-lane Dunlavy near Castle Court. Where are bumper stickers for this baby?This thing will dump people along a residential road south to Bissonet or north toward Allen Parkway. Will there be an appreciable difference in traffic? I don't know. But I do think this proves Ashby is nothing about the number of people and all about the height/scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
