toxtethogrady Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 http://swamplot.com/land-is-being-cleared-for-new-apartments-next-to-the-soccer-stadium/2014-08-28/ Just read this in Swamplot. Is anyone familiar with another apartment project by the Dynamo stadium?Only that JLB is responsible for the apartment complex that went up like tinder in the Montrose back in the Spring. They seem keen to rebuild that one as well. I can't imagine that financing is hard to get in a town that absorbs 21,000 apartments in a year. What's $30 million among friends?

houstontexasjack Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 EaDo is a bit less established in terms of multifamily development. However, with the new light rail station and the bevy of construction Downtown, this site does seem prime to connect people with part of the other archipelago of walkable neighborhoods without need to jump in a car.

toxtethogrady Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Sarnoff picked up on the lack of development east of Downtown today. http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/2014/08/multifamily-construction-projects-spread-over-houston-region/#26279101=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonMidtown Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 It looks like this development will take up 2 blocks possibly? They just moved 2 construction trailers up next to the old Tool Mart building on the block north of the recently cleared block (Tool Mart moved so the building is vacant) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Looks as though this is moving forward. I am eager to hear when details are announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLB is just taking over for Mill Creek. Tool Mart was on the Texas side of the 2-block site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the rendering? I thought that one got canceled ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Haha. He predicted an impeding economic/ development collapse when this project was "cancelled". Looks like someone else now owns both blocks and is already doing something on the southern block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Huge Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I will gladly send a pair of these to the first developer to build a transit-oriented apartment complex on this site (to alleviate the stress of wondering whether the units will sell). If it has ground floor retail, I'll throw in the case. Get to it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigereye Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Is that the rendering? I thought that one got canceled ?It is the cancelled Mill Creek plan. I just posted to show the land involved. JLB Partners bought the same site from Mill Creek back in January. Judging from their portfolio, I think JLB will deliver us a nicer looking project than Mill Creek's Eado Station plan.

Texasota Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hmmm. Mill Creek's plan was aggressively urban and contemporary. Looking at JLB's website, there are a few decent looking projects, but most of them are mediocre. There was a purity to Mill Creek's design that's lacking from JLB's stuff.

Mill Creek's design perfectly compliments BBVA Compass Stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigereye Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 311 units.Sounds like same size as the old Mill Creek plans. Any idea on unit sq footage? More importantly, any idea on street level retail facing Dowling & BBVACS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucleareaction Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Sounds like same size as the old Mill Creek plans. Any idea on unit sq footage? More importantly, any idea on street level retail facing Dowling & BBVACS? One of the few times where its made almost a necessity. Been going to Dynamo games for 3 years now as a season ticket holder, not once did i even bother to go to this side of the stadium. PLEASE put some retail here!
