mollusk 2421 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Doesn't Bridgeview Crossing sound like a Cypress area neighborhood? Or perhaps a n overly dramatic soap opera serial drama on the Burning Bed Channel Lifetime. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Urbannizer 44390 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Why not? I prefer the project to be canned and to wait a few more years with the possibility of having something with a more interesting design and better interaction with the neighborhood to go up. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alec 503 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) EDIT: I checked the website and spring 2016 was the original completion date, so this is probably just rehanging the old banner, not a groundbreaking date.I could have been distracted by the smell of my Kam's take-out on prior occasions, but I don't think I saw this banner with "Spring 2016" before tonight: Edited October 11, 2015 by Alec 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
clutchcity94 429 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) Any updates on future development of this vacant lot? The owner of the lot also owns the adjacent lot at 905 Woodrow St, for a combined lot size of 35,547 sq ft. I heard a rumor that it might be a boutique hotel, but not sure if there's any truth to that... It looks like neither of these projects ever took off at the same location, so who knows.

clutchcity94 429 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Here’s the marketing material from Cushman & Wakefield for this lot. Given that the two rumored mid-rise office projects never took off on this lot over the past decade, coupled with the new Broadstone Museum District condos going up right across the bridge, I’m will to bet this gets developed into a similar luxury condo mid-rise/high rise. It’ll be very well positioned to the new Ion tech center as well, Thoughts? 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

clutchcity94 429 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 3 minutes ago, CrockpotandGravel said: I don't know. I wrote the above so others on the board would know the listing was created in April and updated this month. No one posted a link to the sale listing, only that it was on the market again. I like to include those kind of details to provide more background, info, or anything else posters may find to be useful. It is also useful, I find, when looking back through past posts to get a better timeline of happenings with a property or development. Makes sense. I wonder if this lot is truly large enough for a mid rise? Clear Channel seems to own the lot just east of this one on Woodrow (currently a billboard there). I suppose if you combine the two, it would be large enough for something. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HNathoo 1201 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 That’s a tough site to develop without some significant variances - you lose ~15k sq ft to setbacks on an already very tight site. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

clutchcity94 429 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 The more I think about it, this spot would be perfect for another art studio or museum, similar to the art space directly across Woodrow Street (4411 Montrose). Or, of course, more townhomes. I just don’t see an office building working in this spot. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zaphod 489 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Being near the highway might mean its noisy there, but the view would kick butt even from lower floors because you have that road trench and then the open space to see above the tree line. Even on the second floor you'd be able to see the Med Center skyline. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The lot is still listed for sale on the MLS for $5.3m, so it sounds like the current owner is looking to get the variance request in order to make the lot more attractive to developers.
