If I had the money and the skills I would love too. I'm all for restoring older buildings as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Town Man Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 13 hours ago, houstontexasjack said: I mentioned this in the Midtown forum, but thought I’d also share here. It looks like Rice picked up more land in this area at 411 Richmond and 4510 S. Main St. HCAD indicates two different LLC’s acquired these plots in mid-June. Both LLC’s have a mailing address of 6100 S. Main St, Houston, TX 77005–the same address Rice uses for mail for the Fiesta. Edit: The account information for 4510 S Main LLC is account no. 0250210000001. The account information for 401 Richmond LLC is 0250230000009. The Warranty Deeds are respectively recorded as RP-2018-268638 and RP-2018-273779, and each indicate "c/o William Marsh Rice University." Do you know if these parcels include the hard corner? Or is it basically two lots on either side of the corner lot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Town Man Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Just now, houstontexasjack said: Which corner are you referring to? Southwest corner of Main and Richmond. It appears that the two land parcels they bought are immediately south and west of the corner parcel, unless it is included in the 4510 Main sale.

kdog08 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 1) Thanks for the awesome link that shows Houston multifamily in the pipeline. 2) Would be awesome if this were some affordable housing for graduate students and/or those who work at the Innovation District.

drecey Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I'm sooo glad to hear that they've picked up those additional parcels! Now if we can get rid of that Pacesetter and that Jack In The Box we'll be in business! Glad to see this area changing a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rechlin Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 On 8/10/2018 at 0:10 AM, houstontexasjack said: Indeed, I think they are. HCAD discloses 411 Richmond was acquired by an entity called “401 Richmond LLC” (yes, it’s 401 not 411) about June 19, 2018. 4510 Main was acquired by an entity called “4510 S Main LLC” about June 15, 2018. Both LLC’s share the same mailing address at 6100 Main St., Houston, TX 77005—which is at Rice University (it’s the same mailing address Rice uses for the Fiesta). Looks like Rice may have picked up a couple more parcels. It appears that it's called "401 Richmond LLC" rather than "411" because it's the same entity that owns the 401 property next door, which currently has a Shipley Donuts store on it. So Rice owns both properties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainJilliams Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I was driving through the area Saturday morning and there were several small groups of surveyors using equipment and marking points around the Sears building and several surrounding properties. Also noticed (not sure how recent this was) that the Gulf Gas Station on Richmond and the highway had been torn down, equipment still on site.

houstontexasjack Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I have a photo of a rendering of how the remodel of the Sears is supposed to look. I can’t upload it because the system is saying I’m restricted to a paltry 20kb. Anybody more techno savvy who can give a simple caveman lawyer a hand?

felt38 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Open in ms paint, reduce the size, save as a different file type, maybe png. 20kb seems really small, though - something's not quite right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooklyn173 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I'd like to see what the other blocks are going to be filled with. While the renderings are encouraging, it will take the whole development to 'make the neighborhood'. But, like those on this board, I am very optimistic.

thatguysly Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 For how popular Midtown has been for those graduating college and being part of Greek life, the whole area hasn't grown much. But with all the new projects, Midtown is finally starting to look like what I would have expected years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
