  1. 7700 S. Main St. is the recent office building next door at the corner of Braeswood. The pool at the Residence Inn is at the front center of the complex. I haven't driven by recently, so I'm not sure what was torn down. I'm shocked that they are tearing down 12 buildings. They have 36 or 37 if I remember correctly. (I worked there while in college.) I thought it might be possible that they could be building a new, more modern building on the property - a multi-story building with interior corridors and elevators. The largest rooms in this complex are 2-story units on the second floor. Not really accessible to everyone, particular medical center patients. However, I think that they would need to take down more than just those buildings in order to have room to build. I guess they could build it in phases so as to not eliminate too many rooms from inventory at one time. The occupancy there used to be pretty high because of location and amenities offered.
  2. I assume you are referring to 5020 Montrose If so, Tradition Bank (http://www.traditionbank.com/community-medical-district.asp) is in there and there is space currently on the market (http://www.greenbergcompany.com/Office/Off...20/Default.aspx)
  3. My understanding is that the house is owned, not surprisingly, by the Dean of the Hines School of Architecture at UH.
  4. This property, designed by Stayton Nunn, has been listed at $2,995,000. There are no photos uploaded yet. http://www.har.com/2448842 EDIT: Some photos were uploaded. http://harpictures.marketlinx.com/MediaDisplay/31/hr2088231-1.jpg http://harpictures.marketlinx.com/MediaDisplay/31/hr2088231-2.jpg http://harpictures.marketlinx.com/MediaDisplay/31/hr2088231-3.jpg http://harpictures.marketlinx.com/MediaDisplay/31/hr2088231-4.jpg http://harpictures.marketlinx.com/MediaDisplay/31/hr2088231-7.jpg http://harpictures.marketlinx.com/MediaDisplay/31/hr2088231-8.jpg
  5. I believe that the first one is actually Tilman Fertitta's house.
  6. I must be missing the point of your question. The Brazoria side of SCR has been in AISD for years, but I imagine that you knew that. Am I missing something?
  7. I have heard the same rumor, but I don't give it much credibility. I have always assumed it was the builder's way of trying to make more home sales where they know there is a concern that may cause buyers to walk away. Oddly enough, Ryland's website for the Concerto Series (Arbor Lakes) talks about the great Alvin schools and makes no mention of the fact that the section is in Fort Bend County. (http://www.ryland.com/find-your-new-home/1...tion.html?t=qmi) Quite misleading. I'm not saying a change can't be made, just like the one that put SCR into Alvin schools rather than Pearland schools. However, if the FBISD schools are a sticking point for you, I would suggest not buying based on a hope or a promise from a salesperson that is on the builders payroll. FYI...a trusted source told me that Ryland salespeople, on average, made roughly half the income in 2007 that they made in 2006. It was still a good living, but not if he or she was accustomed to making significantly more. There are likely some hungry salespeople out there.
  8. From MLS - Lot Value: Yes That might be an explanation for the lack of interior pics.
  9. It just opened within the last week or so, but the sign has been up inside since the grand opening.
  10. It did sell in August for full asking price according to MLS. That was $1.1M. The house was listed for 185 days and started at $1.5M. It was advertised as being sold in "as-is condition".
  11. I don't do foreclosures, but if I did, I would have to sign up for the Crappy Photos 101 class. Foreclosure listing agents (or their $6/hour guy that runs errands for them) get the WORST pics I have ever seen. I think with some good pics some of the foreclosures could sell much faster as buyers may actually want to LOOK at the houses after seeing them online.
  12. This foreclosure was listed in MLS this morning. www.har.com/1014039 It sold for $323,000 in 1999. http://harpictures.marketlinx.com/MediaDisplay/16/hr2046116-1.jpg http://harpictures.marketlinx.com/MediaDisplay/16/hr2046116-2.jpg http://harpictures.marketlinx.com/MediaDisplay/16/hr2046116-3.jpg http://harpictures.marketlinx.com/MediaDisplay/16/hr2046116-5.jpg http://harpictures.marketlinx.com/MediaDisplay/16/hr2046116-6.jpg http://harpictures.marketlinx.com/MediaDisplay/16/hr2046116-7.jpg http://harpictures.marketlinx.com/MediaDisplay/16/hr2046116-8.jpg
  13. This home has also been discussed in other threads here. As long as the home has been in MLS (496 days as of today), it has always been listed at $4.7 million. The agent remarks state that the home is about 70% complete and that it will be finished at that price. I imagine that he would be willing to sell it in its current condition as well, just to get rid of it.
