dbigtex56 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 The only rendering I've found for the new building is on the Fairfield Residential  website's 'Coming Soon' page. It appears to be ~ 12 stories, but the rendering's pretty small. The address is listed as 1810 Main St., and the community name is pending. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrel Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 This is the architect's site with some higher res renderings:  http://www.meekspartners.com/high-rise/block-387  It looks similar to their other project Eighteen25 and looks like its also going to be concrete; I haven't heard of this architect much but glad its more concrete downtown, downtown is too loud for stick build midrises.  Whats everyone's best guess for completion? Trying to time my lease next year to get some sweet concessions on this one 😂 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_cuevas713 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 What is the general consensus among us here in HAIF about all of this mid-rise apartments? Could we see these structures around for the next 100 years? Just curious what yall think 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious what yall think To me it depends on the quality of the build, the ones with metal framing will last a lot longer vs. the wood ones. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllenOlenska Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I guess it also depends on how you define midrise. Above about 8 tend to be built to last. Below 4 look like tinderboxes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious what yall think  100 years anywhere in the US (or most places) for an apartment building is very aspirational. 50 years seems a little more realistic, though still optimistic, and I'd guess many will meet that criteria. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HoustonIsHome Posted August 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2020 I love these mid rise buildings. They are not as costly as a hirise They usually are cheaper to rent because of this. They can be filled up quicker They look a lot better than a surface lot They contribute more to building up the critical density than a surface lot.  To be honest my eyes are usually between ground level and 6 levels or so. Anything higher than that for me is just icing.  Filling up vacant or surface lots is more exciting than the number of floors just as long as I'm not looking at blank walls or exposed parking levels. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 My rankings for downtown development: Tall building with GFR Mid-rise with retail on the ground floor Lot line building, 1-2 stories, with a shop, bar, or restaurant in it Mid-rise building Tall building Park (public space mainly with grass) Plaza (public space mainly with concrete) Nice looking parking garage vacant lot covered in grass active construction site giant hole in the ground parking lot 4 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonIsHome Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Idk. An active construction site puts more of a smile on my face than a vacant lot covered in grass. That Chevron lot still hurts my heart.  Depending on what's going up, I would prefer an active construction site over the plaza and park too. Construction sites are fun to follow 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I'm thinking more day to day, walking around level. That vacant lot makes a great dog-playing-catch area downtown 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
