Blocks still prime for redevelopment in the Leeland/Southdowntown neighborhood:

-3 surface lots west of main

-The surface lot and day care right at the corner of main and bell, next to the station

-The Good year that is now surrounded on three sides by mid rise or high rise buildings

-pretty much everything east of Houston House

Alliance Residential has a naming scheme going on (Broadstone Midtown, Broadstone Post Oak, etc) and even though this is pretty similar to their other projects around town I too like the name. I'm sure it will bring one to be more curious about block numbers Downtown as well.

Website has been updated

Rents starting at $1495 w/ 1 month free.  A little more than I was expecting considering it's not a hi-rise like it's neighbors, but there are also no studio floor plans

 

Edit:

Just noticed the interior shots aren't even of the right apartment building - it looks to be Broadstone Midtown

The only thing they really have to do now is some finishing up on the corner of fannin and bell, and finish putting in the sidewalks.  They put in the sidewalk along Leeland and tore it up and put a new one in, but it leads to a pile of dirt at the corner

I'm having a really hard time understanding why they would put balconies two feet up from street level. There's a certain security factor that is hard to get over with an inner city street level patio. Why not just increase the interior square footage of the first floor units?

Because the other units have balconies :/

Yeah that long construction time always has to do with money. If you can space out how you pay for the project over a certain amount of time, the developer has more leverage in case anything goes wrong financially. The contract was given to the lowest bidder of course but in return you sacrifice how fast it gets built.

Is it normal to leave job material like that completely unattended for the day? I even saw some homeless people taking some bricks, not sure what they plan on doing with them but looks pretty unprofessional.

Parking district looks great from this angle

Any ny idea when this one will have its first tenant? Are they leasing now?

1711 and 1825have both broken ground and are under way

1825 San Jacinto working on the 6th floor: 

1711 Caroline has two wood stories on the concrete first story up on the north side, but only the concrete on the southside

 

Last I saw at 1810 Main, nothing much was going on.  Maybe the new night club will get them to break ground <_<
