Montrose1100 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 That is one thin building! Could it be slimmer than the Mercer? As far as the building it'self it looks like Turnberry came back to town. More density for the area. Thumbs up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFootsSocks Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I'm curious if there's a backside to this, or if they just made on giant wall for a future tower to go up on the north side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avossos Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I'm curious if there's a backside to this, or if they just made on giant wall for a future tower to go up on the north side. i will go as far as betting - that the backside of this is a complete afterthought. no articulation, definition, or expression. we will be lucky if it even has windows! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I'm curious if there's a backside to this, or if they just made on giant wall for a future tower to go up on the north side. There are four townhomes where the foundation has just been poured that will go up along the north side of this. Their view to the south will be....the parking garage of this building. The short answer to your question is that I do not think a tower will go up on the north side of this building in the near future given that other developers are transforming the lots into townhomes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryDierker Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 And if it's truly 95 units there will surely be some windows on the back side. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htownproud Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I'm all for new density and mid/high rises, but this seems out of place. Maybe in 50 years there will be some mid-rises over by Fannin, but right now this seems more out of place than the Ashby High Rise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I live two blocks from this site down on Blodgett and agree that it may look a bit goofy when compared to the structures immediately surrounding it (brand new townhome construction on three sides! I wonder if Urban Living will advertise a high rise is about to go up next door. ) However, with the Southmore going up a few blocks to the south, the Hampstead across the street, and potential midrises going up in Midtown, I think this will blend in with an arc of residential structures stretching south from Downtown into the Museum District and Medical Center.

houstontexasjack Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I have to think the developer will want a much larger portion of the Hampstead leased before breaking ground on this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 There were a sizable number of utility trucks working on this site today. Not sure if they are trying to re-route power lines in anticipation of construction. Hopefully, I'll get a better sense this evening. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstontexasjack Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 According to the developer’s office, they are targeting a late 2019/early 2020 groundbreaking for this project. The current discussion centers around ground floor retail featuring a coffee shop/bakery, small grocery store, and a “high-end” hair and nail salon. Here’s hoping groundbreaking will be on the earlier side of their target. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstontexasjack Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 This one is tied up in litigation. Seems the investors aren’t happy with the way things have gone.
