He'd be insane to not build residential immediately. That gives me pause. The last thing we need is another Green Street. I cannot believe those morons nixed the residential component and went with an boutique office building instead.

30-Story Multifamily High-Rise At 3615 Montrose Blvd.
KinkaidAlum replied to yaga's topic in Going Up!
The height mystery seems solved. This looks like 26 residential floors over at least 10 floors of garage space. This is much closer to a 40 story tower than a 30.- 199 replies

The real crime is the surface parking lot taking up a fourth of the lot. Yuck.

The Lexington River Oaks: 7-Story Condos On Mimosa Dr.
KinkaidAlum replied to Highrise Tower's topic in Going Up!
There's a Lexington Street in Upper Kirby/Montrose that runs from Chew Park/Dunlavy to Greenbrier. But it's adjacent to the feeder but I guess that's similar to their projects in "Westcreek" (Galleria east of the Loop).- 14 replies

Are we getting a spire or anything with a non-flat roof? Recent 30 story residential buildings are usually around 350-400 feet.- 199 replies

These are great but I especially love the MFA with downtown in the distance. Wowzers.

My Mom lives close by. She has home health care now so cannot host me and there's a need for some new hotel blood in the area. I've chosen the Med Center for the most part because of the better/newer options. Greenway options are a bit stale and you'd think with the growth of Upper Kirby and proximity to Greenway, Rice, Uptown, Museums, River Oaks, Montrose, that the right brand could pull a nice combo of business and leisure travel.

The Heights Multifamily: 13-Story Building At 1180 W. 18th St.
KinkaidAlum replied to Highrise Tower's topic in Going Up!
The LA Times has a really cool map of LA County density broken up by neighborhood and all the various cities and towns in the County. Koreatown, about two miles South of me, has over 42,000 per square mile. My hood, Los Feliz, is around 13,500.- 39 replies

Tower 5040 is a private development. It's apartments geared towards students. I'm still thinking this is a possible Moody Towers replacement because it speaks of beds (dorms) rather than apartments.

The Matrix: Residential At Reeves & Adair St, Near U of H
KinkaidAlum replied to Urbannizer's topic in Going Up!
It's interesting to see a building marketed to college students with actual balconies. Drunk students are dumb. I used to be one. -
Micro Unit Apartment Complex Near Trebly Park At 1218 Bell St.

Not having Uptown connected to the light rail is a travesty. It's 100% Culberson's fault and the big money donors who bought him off. -

Blossom Hotel Houston: 16-Story Hotel For The TMC
KinkaidAlum replied to Urbannizer's topic in Going Up!
I stayed here over the Holidays because my Mom and sister live close by. It's got a great vibe. I LOVED the room, especially the bathroom. And a big thumbs up to a real air conditioner that lets you actually control it. It's a bit isolated but when TMC3 opens, it'll be right in the heart of it. -
Micro Unit Apartment Complex Near Trebly Park At 1218 Bell St.
KinkaidAlum replied to nate4l1f3's topic in Going Up!
If you live and work downtown or anywhere along the rail line, you could save a lot of money by not having a car. There's also Lyft/Uber when needed and plenty of places to rent one. I know a handful of Houstonians that don't have cars and they live happy lives. I couldn't do it even though I drive about once a week these days because I'm still working from home in LA. -
I walked almost daily at Memorial Park over the Holidays. I was a bit worried that it would be over programmed but man, did they knock it out of the park! Everything is looking so nice. Next step, tunnel Interstate Ten!

I just got back from my first trip to Houston since 2019. I stayed at the Blossom Hotel. What a quirky place. I really liked the rooms and that bathrooms and the air con was top notch! FYI, the views from the 13th floor pool and deck of the TMC3 are quite nice. You really get a sense of the scale of the entire project.
