Does the exterior give anyone else 1960s Lamar Tower vibes? Not exactly modern looking.

We think that pool gets, what, a combined 3 hours of sunlight per year?

Might be planning the best summer solstice party in town, though. 

Rent starts at $1200. That’s less than a mediocre garage apartment in the neighborhood.

Is Matt Mullenweg (founder of Wordpress) a benefactor to the Menil Foundation? I know he’s from Houston, so would make sense.

I wonder what the average age of a resident is at Lamar Tower. My guess is 76.

I guess Houston gets Bunslut, while the west coast (+Tokyo, London, etc…) has Eggslut .

 

 

I wonder what the next slutty restaurant will be.

Dibs on Pickleslut!

Lakewoodslut

The property is in “Coming Soon” status on HAR with a list price of $850,000.

According to HCAD, Menil Properties has owned the home for the last 30+ years.

This is the first time I’ve seen Menil sell one of their bungalows. I wonder why…?

Looks like this is opening in June according to the sign out front.

Any guesses on what type of ground floor retail will go in on the first floor?

If only The Heron was built one block west of its current location (where the Fat Property apartment complex and Texas Pizza are), it could have been called The Heroin.

A crew was doing some work on the roof yesterday. I tried asking them who was moving in, but they didn’t speak English.

Hey, seeing all this development, how in the heck is Slick Willy's still around? It is such a LooOOoooOoOooong time staple of Montrose so there is that of course...but from what i can tell it never seems to be as busy as it was back in the 90s early 2000's... 

I wonder if it will ever be upgraded or change hands etc...

 

I feel like it’ll stay until lower Westheimer undergoes some sort of drastic transformation. I know development has been announced and buildings have been torn down, but so far lower Westheimer is less developed now compared to 6 or 7 years ago (apart from Montrose Collective).

Will this have GFR?

There was also a great menswear boutique called Mortar there around 2008-ish.

Why is everything closing left and right in Montrose?! Is the rent too damn high or is it something else?

For sale sign out front. Didn’t this trade three years ago with no development?

I could hear these guys talking while I'm flying at Hotel Saint Augustine, counted 9 vehicles and 7 people, something is happening with this property.

I wonder what it’ll be!

Surprised no one has mentioned this yet. I've been walking by the past couple of weeks and thought it was just undergoing a remodel. There's an alcohol permit with an applicant of a Thai restaurant.

I'm not sure there is a Thai food demand with Nidda a block away. Perhaps they will be staying open late with the bar traffic nearby.

What do former dry cleaning sites typically get redeveloped into? Isn’t there something about the dry cleaning chemicals that makes it harder to repurpose?

The Menil masterplan includes building a residential tower eventually on Richmond.

The idea is to add back the number of units demo'd from the old garden apartments that used to be at the park location, but in a smaller footprint. Hopefully that's the next project once the hotel is done.

If it becomes a residential tower, hopefully they put in a cross walk at the Yupon St / Richmond Ave intersection. Would be convenient to get to the post office.

Looking forward to see what they do with that large patch of grass facing Richmond Ave!

Just curious, what are the best HISD elementary schools (in order from best to worst) that you can be zoned to if you live within Montrose?

There’s Macgregor, Wharton, Poe, and Ella J Baker Montessori.

This pocket of Montrose — south of Richmond, between Dunlavy and Yupon, is probably my favorite part of Montrose.

New renders on Arch-Con Corp website.

I don’t love the colorful design. Looks tacky IMO.

Why is some of this development still vacant after all these years? Prime location.
