htownproud Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 What would this block cost in 2004?Anyone have any ideaDon't know for sure. In 2005, the land value between Taft and Montrose and Gray and Dallas was just less than $200k per 5000 sqft. (approximately). Perhaps there would have have been some premium paid for the large piece of property and for being right on west gray, although back then the housing just to the south of this was still very sketchy (albeit changing rapidly), so any premium may have been lost b/c of the immediate area.

skwatra Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Any news here? I also saw the empty lot catty corner from this (NW corner) has a small for sale by owner sign. I've only seen it used a few times charging people for parking during events like FPSF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terra002 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Still nothing, I called that number on the sign after the bids were due to get some info. All I was told was that they accepted an offer. I just hope its something good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terra002 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 its about time something starts happening on that lot. Really wish it had some retail, but anything is better than a vacant lot or a heath clinic.. Its really on a dividing line between midtown and montrose, so it would be nice to have something that compliments both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLan34 Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 I saw another set of soil samples being taken this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terra002 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I have not heard anything else since the day I posted that. I just called the number that was on the sign and asked the guy. Might be worth another call... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terra002 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Saw some more activity on the lot this morning. That same type of drilling rig for soil sampling i guess...Some guy was threading pipe next to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skwatra Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Haven't seen any activity on this site since they knocked down the Good Neighbor Healthcare signage...Someone put up a sign advertizing the new townhomes going up down the street (south on Taft) right on that corner but outside the fence. Also looks like the owner of the vacant lot catty corner (NW corner) is getting more serious to sell. Previously he had a 'for sale by owner' sign that you buy at Home Depot up, now it looks like he has a commercial realtor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terra002 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I wonder whats going to happen with the property across taft from this lot, behind the laundry mat. (old hamburger joint or taqueria) I would love to see that torn down. Looks sketchy as hell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
