    Building permits filed last week for the project.

    Sorry for my multiple posts! The post hadn't appeared to go through, and I tried a few times. Anyhow, there's only two deferrals allowed for items, so they likely just didn't resubmit the item or had it removed before subsequent agendas.

    Did the variance end up getting approved? That's a completely underwhelming use in Hardy Yards, and discouraging that so much surface parking would be adjacent to a transit center.

    Yes. And, I think the property between Washington and Center is seeing some excavation. I recall that being proposed as an apartment complex.

    Building permit for the restaurant was issued last week. Project 17110981.

    There was a plat for the old ROW south of Washington back in August, Memorial Heights Estates. I don't think it's been recorded, but it included 40 SFR lots along Memorial Heights Drive. I assume it'd be all curb cuts along the way too... I don't think there was a shared driveway.

    I'll reach out to METRO to see if this is still happening. Doesn't look good though because in June 2017 there was a reallocation of $200,000 from the escalator project to replace a bus washing system. https://www.ridemetro.org/MetroPDFs/FinancialAuditInformation/MonthlyFinancialReports/2017/06_Reports/0617_Performance-Report.pdf#search=escalator burnett Later on though in the 2018 METRO business plan and budget, the project is listed as a potentially-funded project, among which projects "will be selected by the METRO Capital Budget Review (CBR) committee, prioritized and recommended to move forward for METRO Board approval to advance the projects from their conceptual/ developmental design phase into active capital project status." https://www.ridemetro.org/MetroPDFs/FinancialAuditInformation/Budgets/FY18-Business-Plan-and-Budget.pdf#search=escalator burnett Not sure where we're at right now.

    Final plans for the conversion to a hotel for 1114 Texas Street were approved on Friday, 6/2/2017. 150-rooms. COH Project Number: 16026115 http://www.pdinet.pd.houstontx.gov/cohilms/webs/Plan_LookUp.asp http://houstontx.gov/planning/Publications/listsrv/WebeReport.html It's not on the Downtown District's May 2017 hotel development map, but nonetheless... http://www.downtowndistrict.org/research-reports/

    The second floor framing is going in at the Residences at Hardy Yards. They're making good progress.
  13. andre154
    Construction work on the apartments is underway. First floor being built. There's a bunch of wood housed on the east side of the site, so things should be going up quickly.

    After spending some time in Galveston last weekend I was researching some permitting data. Looks like this project may be a go again. Looks like the ITEX Group is planning a 72-unit apartment.

    Nice find Urbannizer... How does one come across that?!... But, is this still even something that's planned, given the city's influx of apartments in the last 2 years? Also, a while ago it was pointed out to me that the UPRR ROW to the south of Washington Ave. was for sale. It'd be wide enough to put townhouses there, but parking and access would be an issue, and I'd guess PWE wouldn't favor allowing curbcuts along that stretch of Memorial Heights Drive...

    From last week... The concrete for the foundation of the apartments is going in.

    A bit more progress on the parking garage at the Residences at Hardy Yards. Notice the cap on the top floor. (7 floors of parking with a rooftop amenity floor).

    This proposal was not supported by the leaders of Super Neighborhood 51. New Hope Housing said that they do not want to build in areas that they're not made welcome, so unfortunately it doesn't look like this will be progressing any time soon. It's a shame, because affordable housing (not a shelter), is something the Near Northside could use. This site is also vacant and normally has trash on it. I am supportive of this project, and hope in the future it will be presented a bit sooner, and can have some more community input.

    Thanks for that, Triton. Yes, our Nextdoor feed is off the rails already. I'm hoping to attend to provide some support for the project.

    There is a Super Neighborhood 51 meeting tomorrow night, addressing a potential New Hope Housing development. The site is rumored to be located at 1515 North Main, directly across from the Burnett Transit Center and Hardy Yards. I want to say I had seen a rendering for apartments at this site from a while ago. (Does that ring a bell to anyone?! I've looked and can't find it...) I don't know if I saw them on here, or something in the UHDowntown plans. Either way, I think they were speculated to be student housing at one point.

    This is just south of Lindale Park, and at the extreme northern side of the Near Northside... "Fulton Station" townhouses.
  22. andre154
    Site plumbing for the Residences at Hardy Yards is in.

    The plat for this development, along with the Outside Media site to the immediate NW of the site, is on the next Houston Planning Commission agenda.

    Noticed that the spot at 2626 White Oak has filed for a TABC permit. The name on the application is "The Ready Room", under the ownership of 2626 White Oak LLC, which is shown to be owned by Ken Bridge, of Delicious Concepts. Apparently this spot used to be Roeder's Pub...

    Saw an article from yesterday that summarized the meeting. Not much to add to the discussion. http://www.houstonchronicle.com/neighborhood/heights/news/article/Heights-residents-grill-city-on-apartment-10791049.php?t=d49561d47e&utm_content=buffer3bc8e&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer&cmpid=twitter-premium
