houston_urban_fan Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I read about this project on the Baldwin Park thread and it looks like they have moved the dumpster to the north side of the building and are already tearing out cinder block for windows. Can someone post the architects drawing of the finished building? This is a great deal more exciting than the "free clinic" going up at Fannin and McGowan.

brian0123 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) what is going up on Tuam and Fannin?I'm not sure. I noticed it the other day when I was on a bike ride. The place is 2901 Fannin (street view). They were carrying stuff in the door and I noticed that the inside was stripped to the studs. The building is attached to "Kim Marketing Company".

Wine bar patrons typically will not relieve themselves on your lawn.I cannot for the life of me find tax or ownership information for that small shopping center on Tuam and San Jacinto.The center I am referring to is the old location of Saigon Cafe, which has now moved across the street to the 5 story(?) shopping center. That place could be a great location if the owners would just spend a little money to refresh the exterior.I would love to own this shopping center.Tuam Shopping CenterYou could open a cafe at the corner and call it the Speed Trap Cafe or something kitschy like that. I can see some hired hands waving big signs marked "SPEED TRAP" in big letters and "cafe" in slightly smaller ones. That would be a good way to pick up a loyal customer! (You may not win any friends at HPD, but then again they seem to think speeders are the big issue in Midtown, not prostitutes and drug dealers) Edited January 28, 2009 by houston_urban_fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Metropolitan Dance Company is actually going to be located on the corner of Dennis/Caroline. They are currently working out the bugs on a 30 year lease of the orange/tan warehouse. Metropolitan has already had the architecture plans complete on how they will use the space and plan on having studio's for lease for artist and/or photographers as well as having a public Cafe. Should be a great project that should really help out the slum area the day labor place creates on Caroline. Metropolitan told me 3-5 months before construction should start.

midtowntiger Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 It looks like the Dance Company project fell apart.

I wonder who will buy it and what it will become now...Yeah, my wife called the Met Dance Academy and they said they were still trying to line up funding. The building owner was trying to get them into a 30 yr lease... but their funding fell short. It's a shame because that would have made a tremendous impact on the area. Maybe if it goes up for auction, they might be able to convince the new owner to let them in at a cheaper rate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midtowntiger Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I went to the Auction House website and looked at the listing for this building. It was listed as "Passed" and not "Sold". I have a feeling that it didn't sell in Auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve been busy the last few weeks making modifications to the windows and building out the interior.  Hopefully part of the renovations are to relocate the entry door back to the corner, at a 45 degree angle, as it was originally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillip_white Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Some guys were painting a floral mural on the side of the building tonight and said this will be a bar/club named Thalia. I peeked in the windows that have been added onto the Fannin side and it looks like they're targeting mid to high end patrons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
