So take with a grain of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillip_white Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I found this in the MMD Annual Report: Quote The Authority continues holds the property located at 3300 Main Street within the Zone to assist in mitigating blight and incentivizing redevelopment. During fiscal year 2014 the Authority received a contract to purchase this property by a private developer. In Fiscal Year 2016, the Fifth Amendment to the contract extended the closing of 3300 Main Street to June 1, 2016, and then the Sixth Amendment extended the closing to December 30, 2016 and provides for the demolition of the improvements on the property to be completed by October 30, 2016. source: http://houstonmidtown.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/FS-2016-Midtown-Redevelopment-Authority-final-report.pdf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post phillip_white Posted November 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) Here's another drone video for your viewing pleasure. If you wait until the end of the video you'll get to see views of the Med Center, Superblock, and Downtown. Sorry for the shakiness. I was having a lot of interference, which I'm guessing was coming from the piles of steel. Let me know if there are any other sites that you would like to see from above.

The company said construction will begin "in the near term," but offered no other specifics 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Did this one grow in height? A subscriber-content article from the HBJ has it at 40-stories. http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2017/01/23/brokers-trio-of-record-breaking-real-estate-deals.html Quote PM Realty Group purchased a 1.15-acre site at 3300 Main St. in Midtown. The Houston developer plans to build a 40-story, 336-unit apartment tower on the site. PMRG closed on the land in late December, after also struggling to find capital partners amid the energy downturn. The developer demolished a former city of Houston code enforcement building on the site last year, and hopes to start construction on the apartment project this year. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) If you look at the rendering you will notice the rail lines on the bottom right corner and the large protruding awning is the front of MATCH, which I believe is at the corner of Mcgowan and Main. Just to remind those naysayers that the rail wouldn't bring any development. What do you say now?

Just to remind those naysayers that the rail wouldn't bring any development. What do you say now? Not a naysayer, but Midtown's development has been strange. Western Midtown, along Bagby and W Gray to the North got developed before we started significantly filling in the pieces along the rail in the last 2 years. A boutique hotel would go great along this stretch of the rail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 Looks like the 40-story count was bogus. FAA filing for the crane shows construction will begin in the coming months. https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/searchAction.jsp?action=displayOECase&oeCaseID=336840964&row=12 Quote Structure Type: Crane Structure Height: 369' Work Schedule: 10/02/2017 to 04/01/2019 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
