infinite_jim Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 From my window I have noticed over the past month that a couple of double storey warehouses have been cleared on what looks like two separate parcels along Gillette St. north of Dallas St. I'll post pics later tonight.Anyone with info, please post up.

TheNiche Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 If I'm not mistaken, that was a former Centerpoint Energy facility sold to apartment developers some number of years back. I wouldn't be surprised if its back in play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northwood Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 This is a 10.5 acre site for sale by the City of Houston. It is referred to as the Gillette Site or 1701 Allen Parkway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if its back in play.That was further west on W Dallas, at the northeast corner of Montrose. Was known as 'The Underground' when HL&P owned it, and was the center of streetlight repair division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sargento03 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hi, there are now TWO cleared sites at this corner and I'm wondering if anyone has additional info. 1. The first one that we all know about is the NE corner of W. Dallas and Gillete. This is the land owned by the city that is for sale (or sold? not sure), and stretches from West Dallas to San Felipe Park. 2. The second one is he NW corner of W. Dallas and Gillete. It used to be some sort of academy or school and I remember lots of "summer camps" here. This site was begun to be cleared about one to two weeks ago. Does anyone know what is going on here?

RocketSci Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 NW corner of W. Dallas and Gillete will be apartments.http://www.multifamilybiz.com/PR/870/Alliance_Residential_Breaks_Ground_in_HoustonHOUSTON, TX Alliance Residential Company commenced construction on Broadstone West Dallas, a 246-unit apartment complex located in central Houston.

Alliance intends to incorporate an impressive array of lifestyle amenities at Broadstone West Dallas, highlighted by a 5,000-square-foot clubhouse featuring a demonstration kitchen, massage room and iCafé.

totheskies Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Is any retail ever going to go on West Dallas?? There's plenty of need for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 need for it? I'm generally the first person to advocate for street-level retail, but that seems like really odd wording even to me.Dallas is *not* a major retail street, and it's in such an ...incoherent part of town that I'm not sure it makes sense to talk about retail as a "need." As ...whatever we want to call the part of Montrose north of Gray continues to develop retail along dallas might make sense, but i think residential development has to happen first t provide a consistent customer base.

woolie Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 They should use the approach Milhaus is going to use for their new midtown development. Build out the first floor to hold commercial tenants, but use it for the complexes leasing offices, gym, etc. for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htownproud Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I think there are plenty of residents in the area to support some retail--this will be the third huge apartment complex on Dallas, plus the Bellaire and all the town homes and duplexes in the area. I think we won't see retail on Dallas though because (1) the area is already very walkable--the Post area of midtown, West Gray near Taft, and Montrose are all easible walkable; and (2) having that part of Allen Parkway to the north limits the market growing even more for retail stores in that area. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
