The best montrose development sites trade for double the best heights development sites.
Interesting. So Montrose Collective dirt is worth 2x Heights Mercantile dirt?

I think that fact that Montrose is closer to downtown, TMC, and both Rice and UH makes it more desirable for more high rises. I could see Montrose Blvd lined with high rises in 20 years.
I agree, and one of the things I’ve noticed is that development patterns in Montrose are more “Houston” than development patterns in the Heights. For example, a lot of the new construction residential and commercial properties in the Heights look a lot more put together and organized, whereas Montrose, while still really nice, looks a bit more haphazard. There are countless residential streets in both neighborhoods with early 20th century bungalows, but for some reason the pride of ownership is a lot more apparent in the Heights, in terms of upkeep, being freshly painted and photogenic, etc. I always wondered why that was the case. Perhaps most of these bungalows in Montrose are rental properties and not primary residences?

Not sure if this is the right forum, but I wanted to start a discussion about development patterns and how they differ/compare between Montrose and the Heights.
From a developer’s perspective, is one considered to be more “prime real estate” than the other? How does ppsf compare?
What will each neighborhood look like 20 years from now and will one be more “desirable” than the other?

Wasn’t able to get a picture, but this eyesore is finally down! Looks like it’s owned by the same guy who owns the old school multi family complex next door. I wonder what he’s going to build here.

Chef Martin Stayer and team (Nobie's) are taking over the former space of Revelry at 1613 Richmond Ave. Stayer is opening another dining concept possibly named Nonno's there.
The restaurant will be next door to its sister concepts the Toasted Coconut and speakeasy Quiote at 1617 Richmond Ave.
Exciting! Stopped by Quiote once pre-pandemic and it was fantastic. Excited to see that it’s coming back.

Pictures from yelp show it served on a bed of french fries. Did they really serve it that way?
Yes- it was delicious. Came with rice as well.

Thiên Ân & Pho Saigon are also worth a shoutout.
Also, I personally love that the topic of this thread has now become Vietnamese food in and around Midtown.
RIP Cafe #13 on Milam. They had the best shaking beef in the city before they abruptly closed.

I agree - very noticeable. Also, as with the BigTex one on Montrose, pretty nice use of highway-adjacent space. Gives shade and noise dampening to the adjacent blocks
How much noise dampening does it actually provide given that the Montrose Big Tex is next to the part of 59 that’s below grade?

The dumpling place across the street didn't last long either and it had a pretty nice interior too!
Why is the shelf like for casual Montrose restaurants so short?! Doesn’t seem to be the case in the Heights.

I feel like after the Montrose & Westheimer corridor, this little southeastern pocket in Montrose is going to look the most different in 5-10 years compared to today.

This will do really well. I live down the street from the Austin location, one of my favorite places in town.
I wonder how their oysters are compared to a place like Bludorn (which IMO has the best oysters in town)…quite expensive at $42/dozen though.

So there will be both a Barcelona and a BCN in Montrose soon. Interesting.

I highly doubt this is going to cost the same as St.Jose whish is an old refurbished motel...
Exactly. St. Augustine will be closer to $400-$500.

Everything you're naming is downtown, except La Colombe d’Or, which starts at 500 a night. I'm happy to have a place for my parents to stay nearby, Montrose needed something like this!
Pretty sure St. Augustine will also be close to $500/night. It’s not exactly a Sheraton.

There are literally no boutique hotels to recommend to out of towners. Do we have lots of nice business traveler-oriented hotels? yes. that's an extremely different aesthetic/vibe than something like a bunkhouse or ace or McMenaminsLa Colombe d’Or?

1. HAIF is an architectural forum, a place where people are encouraged to obsess over buildings and the effect they have on Houston.
2. Yes, it is ethical, and I cannot imagine why it wouldn't be.You’d think today’s OP switched handles with you with that comment LOL
