midtown_resident Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 The Deco Diner was supposed to go up there by the Pierce....but no such luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

111486 Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I think they could have done without the parking slots. Parallel parking would have been better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UrbaNerd Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Good News (if this has not been posted yet)The Edge will NOT be a lease building, and will have units for sale. http://har.com/search/engine/indexdetail.c...=0&backButton=YThis unit is going for like 355,000, though...

Talbot Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 so any retail or restaurants?? will this be residential or commercial?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>It will be residential, and it looks like from the renderings that it will have ground retail, but im not sure. And has this already broken ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 As of about two weeks ago it had not yet broken ground. Probably the lower floors are for parking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midtownguy Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 $355,000? What happened to the "$150,000 and up" prices they quoted when they announced the thing? Yeesh. And I was looking forward to it as a potential buyer. But I can only go to about $170,000 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trophy Property Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 $355,000? What happened to the "$150,000 and up" prices they quoted when they announced the thing? Yeesh. And I was looking forward to it as a potential buyer. But I can only go to about $170,000 or so.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I was thinking the same thing. At $355k, the price is $240 per square foot. That is pretty darn high if you ask me. I am sure the maintenance fees will be at least $400-$500 a month. That makes principle, interest and HOA about $2100 per month (assuming 80% LTV at 5.5%). Escrow in your taxes and you are lucky to be right under $3000 per month. OUCH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midtownguy Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Yeah, that's a mess. The Houston Condo market as a whole is a mess. Not only is Houston not a condo-city, but it is certainly not a high end condo city. AFter a certain price point, most people will simply buy a single family home. And, people that CAN afford $355,000 for a condo are more likely to buy in River Oaks or another solid, established neighborhood that they know has re-sale value. The only way Condos will work in Midtown is if they lower the prices. That way, people like myself - who actualy WANT the urban experience - can afford to live there.

Houston19514 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Calm down everyone... that link took us to one listing for ONE of the units in the Edge complex. When one takes the 10 seconds required to look further, one finds that there are units listed starting at $144,500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoog Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Is the Edge even in Midtown?Or on the Edge of Midtown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midtownguy Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 That's great. Thanks. Should have looked further. I went to the link and just saw the $355,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume it would be 800-900 SF. Still not worth it to me. Of course I like space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowbrow Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 900-1000 sf for the $150s units. 1-1. They have a 2 bedroom for about 179k I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midtownguy Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 900 - 100 square foot is plenty of space for me. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
