it sounded like you were referring to population density, of course townhomes with less than a foot separation is dense.

Dense is relative, each of those big townhouses has maybe 3 people

I've never seen corrugated sheet metal used so much in residential buildings than Houston. My favorite is those tin boxes in midtown by Camden city centre- 61 replies

Is it possible they add extra width on both sides with decorative brick etc, but I just wonder why they went around the utility pole like is it that hard to move the pole or integrate it into the sidewalk? Looks like the guy putting down the cement was just like not my job...

Hmm I only see like 4 or 5 but they couldn't pick a better market to sell and I just feel sorry for any of the buyers that are buying in this market and have to live with another two years of construction noise after buying their home for likely all time high...

Interesting, the brand new restaurant and parking lot still hasn't opened. Would they just demo it to start this or has this been scrapped/held off for a few years. Seems like a waste after spending all that money on the restaurant and paving the lot, even though they restaurant kind of looks like it's made of cardboard. I just hope those renters on the back of pearl at the mix know what they might have to deal with if construction starts lol Ah I just noticed it says long term proposed. So probably 3+ years until it starts. It just means it has zoning approved which in houston is like instantly (?) haha.

Co-Op At Summer Street: Multifamily; Townhomes At 3275 Summer St.
Squirrel replied to Urbannizer's topic in Going Up!
Wonder what types of renter this will attract. It's not that much cheaper monthly than the rest of the cookie cutter wrap apartments, and probably more per square foot. And you miss out on the pool, gym (?) etc. I'm assuming it has an elevator but maybe just one slow one. I don't know how much the savings on the structured parking and amenities will actually be passed down, and having a multistory parking is great for hurricane season.- 61 replies

Anyone know the status of the restaurant? Will the parking lot be a separate development as well or remain parking, they just repaved it.

It's nice for future residents that the neighborhood is already built out and quiet. Hopefully the increased traffic doesn't cause any issues

I'm guessing the developer is overjoyed they chose concrete over wood frame considering lumber prices currently. Also does anyone live in block 334 or on the red line? It's horn is actually really loud I can hear several blocks away I couldn't imagine living right next to it.

This is the architect's site with some higher res renderings: http://www.meekspartners.com/high-rise/block-387 It looks similar to their other project Eighteen25 and looks like its also going to be concrete; I haven't heard of this architect much but glad its more concrete downtown, downtown is too loud for stick build midrises. Whats everyone's best guess for completion? Trying to time my lease next year to get some sweet concessions on this one 😂

The Travis: Multifamily High-Rise At 3300 Main St.
Squirrel replied to Urbannizer's topic in Midtown
So I toured this and just some anecdotes: The interior finishes and appliances are great, there is actually ample closet and storage space (huge coat closets etc). There are dressers/drawers in each closet which is great. Some weird design choices are the windows are massive squares almost the size of the wall but can't open. The only fresh air you get is if you open the balcony door but there is no screen so bugs. For a concrete building on the 10th floor I could hear every car that drove by and the train is very evident, some people wouldn't mind but I thought it would be much quieter for a concrete high rise. Drewery place was silent relative. Also, I knew the HCC building would block views but its not even the biggest eyesore. Its their parking garage. On the 10th floor its right in your face on those expensive downtown view units. To not have it in your view from your kitchen or living room you'd probably have to be on the 17th floor at least.- 604 replies
