OkieEric Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Would this be an effort to combine the acquired properties into one, or break up differently? "Shepherd and West Alabama Reserve Subd" doesn't appear to be all that informativeAlso, a quick check on HCAD shows that the 2.2 acres would also include all of the originally discussed land, including the Garvis property on Shepherd and onto Sul Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Confirmation it will at the least be multi-family...If this plat is proposed to be multi-family residential, it is subject to the Parks and Open Space requirements of42-251. A fee per unit will be assessed at the time of permitting at the then-current fee rate. If a private park is to beproposed or public park land is to be dedicated, park land reserves or land dedication must be shown on the face ofplat at this time.From yesterday's agenda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OkieEric Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Confirmation it will at the least be multi-family... I dunno....a lot of "if"s in there. Maybe they'll turn it into park Did anyone else notice that Ruchi's name is no longer there? Now it's just some generic "Taqueria & Grill" or something. The fact that there are large "For information" signs posted all over the property also seems to confirm that there will be a commercial component as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swtsig Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 according to an email i just received, Read King is ready to develop: Preleasing has begun and the project will break ground in Q1 ‘12. The development will have 250 luxury apartment units and 30k SF of high-end retail when it opens in Q2 ‘13. The project is unnamed so far. design is subject to change, of course. this will be one of three "urban mixed-use" developments for Read King over the next three years. no clue what corner this is going on, though.

sevfiv Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I remember Ruchi's used to have some restaurants labeled Americas (or something similar) and some El Rincon de Mexico (they're all this way now I think) - the Americas ones seemed to have less spicy salsa and food..I go to the one off Fuqua/45 once in a long while and it's decent - it also used to be a Double Dave's Pizza so all the booths have "DD" etched in to them..

editor Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 So much for "high rise." Only five stories Sad for such a good location.I'll update the thread title.Added to the interactive map of Houston projects: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=206730043409095570269.0004a96360f502ee46915&msa=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largeTEXAS Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 So much for "high rise." Only five stories Sad for such a good location.I think a midrise is much better for this location. In fact, 5 stories is the perfect height IMO. Plus, what highrises have street-level retail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
