Triton 12117 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 See your own post #5 on page 1. This has always been across the freeway. Right. So this is just the evolution of the original project I take it.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KinkaidAlum 2916 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 No way these are on university owned property. These are being built privately. I've always been curious to see how this plays out if it is indeed the other side of the freeway. Overpasses are pretty large mental barriers to overcome. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pitts 27 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 LOL, I can't imagine the roommate drama that's gonna happen with those five bedroom units. But seriously I think this is a good project for UH and the Eastwood area. There's a lot of land around there for redevelopment (old Finger's, Bestway Motor) that hopefully this might help spark.While these would be a tough walk, it's in a sweet spot for cycling to campus. Cullen has a bike line and it's 5 - 10 minute ride to most places on campus. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dirty sketchy barriers... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
placoors 99 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I had forgotten what was going to be built here but last week I noticed the lot had been mowed for the first time in a while, surveyors were out along Cullen and orange spray painted utility markings were on the sidewalk and grass along Cullen. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Uhcougar05 6 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 This is an awesome project for the city and UH. May be a couple years ahead of its time as far as location but the entire area will be getting a facelift soon. The old fingers will be have a major grocery chain in that place and the ugly motel will be torn down while the 45 to 59 ramp will be redone this summer. There will be great transportation options for the students to get to the other side of the freeway. There are also rumors about new student housing being built on the corner of Scott and Elgin where the old bookstore used to sit. Exciting times to be a student at UH. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigFootsSocks 3265 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Not a rumor, that should start construction soon and is part of a three phase development for that corner. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cspwal 4035 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Completed building looking good 2 years on. Looks like they're putting in bike islands across from the B-cycle, probably related to the Cullen bike lane project 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
