nativehoustonion Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 There is a confidential off Richmond. That could be what Urbannizer is referring to. The only lot big enough is where the old Montrose clinic was. It has been vacant for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollusk Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Pardon my ignorance, I know MF is short for Multi-Family, what is BTS? Build To Suit. MF is also what people in houses call the multi family developments being built across the fence . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 The Confidential "Build to Suit" inside the West Loop is the Amegy HQ. I am curious as to what Hines is building just outside of the Loop. Getting back to topic, this project wouldn't take the place of the Richmont Square apartments owned by the Menil, would it? The location looks close to those apartments, and I think the northern bank of the same was demolished for the Menil drawing institute (see below). http://swamplot.com/menil-drawing-new-drawing-institute-onto-back-third-of-richmont-square/2013-11-04/ If the Menil were to commission a new MF complex, I'd be surprised if it were a highrise. The Menils preferred to keep the residential character of the neighborhood. Of course, if this is not related to the Menil, a highrise would not be out of the question.

ClutchCity Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 So how do we know this is a high rise rather than a 6-8 story midrise? Granted Swtsig probably already confirmed but had to edit his post for confidentiality reasons. Either way I'm sure Hines has a lot more in the pipeline as well. Based on Bisnow's development summit, it sounds like developers are going to try to squeeze 2-3 more years out of this boom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the US economy is pushing up, we may ride that... which would mean the Houston boom would be that + 4 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avossos Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 My thoughts exactly. Does anybody have any specifics? Correct me if I am wrong, but a high rise is anything 10 stories or above? Mid rise 3-9 stories? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capnmcbarnacle Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I'm still waiting for the day that we here about a single family high-rise. Last I heard Menil plans to keep the Richmond Square Apartments as an income generating property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockmat Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 from the planning commission: Phase 1 of redevelopment includes the construction of five new facilities, thirteen demolitions, and additional parking at the Main Car Parking Lot, as shown in Table 1. Both multi apartments at Colquitt & Mandell and Richmond & Mandell are assumed to have gated residential parking; therefore, they are being studied separately. Richmont Square Apartments is scheduled to be demolished in two phases, with the north portion being first. After Richmont Square has been demolished, West Main Street will be extended to Yupon Street and assumed to follow the same configuration as the existing roadway segment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I'd like the Center and South portions of Richmont Square to linger long enough for me to move in there. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminare Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Fantastic stuff!!! This will really start to pull this area together. With the museum, parks, bungalows, and now some good size mid-rises to frame the different areas this area will quickly have a very unique identity....something of course is lacking in many areas of this city. I'll hold off my judgement on what the actual architecture is for these developments, but I'm hopeful that with the Menil name it could potentially drawn some bigger name architects into play.

Avossos Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 So their goal here is to have a campus-like situation? They are adding a second park? I'm confused what phase that is - but if I'm reading correctly, he north section of Richmond square apartments looks to be a new park.Also, the apartments... They are building apartments as a money generator I assume - but how does this fit into their mission statement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
