Urbannizer Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2018/06/04/developer-new-heights-waterworks-apartments-will.html Phillippi expects leasing on the 309-unit apartment building near the Heights hike and bike trail to start in the third quarter of 2019, with the building completion date set for 2020. “We are really aiming to have a building that goes with the spirit of the Heights,” Phillippi said. To achieve that look, Phillippi said the building’s exterior will use brick to be in line with the older commercial buildings in the area. A large tree will remain on site with an outdoor seating area next to it. Houston-based EDI International is the architect while Alliance is its own general contractor. The project is financed through a mix of equity and debt, Phillippi said, with a construction loan through Cadence Bank and Great Southern Bank. Building permits for $38.2 million were recently filed with the city of Houston. Phillippi said final design choices are still being decided, but overall the building will have “high-end, condo quality-like finishes” such as 10-foot ceilings, likely either plank or laminate flooring, quartz-type countertops and possibly vintage-looking tile in the bathrooms. Building amenities will include a large fitness center, pool, sky lounge with views of downtown and the Heights, a jam room, bike storage and bike room. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmitch94 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Quote high-end, condo quality-like finishes” such as 10-foot ceilings, likely either plank or laminate flooring I believe these are mutually exclusive unless there is another kind of laminate than whats in my shitty apartment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 It's a wood laminate flooring, which tends to be more durable and less expensive than just straight hardwood. It's much nicer than cheap laminate from 20 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much nicer than cheap laminate from 20 years ago Yea, that's what I'm installing in one of my properties. Cost $1.49 per square foot but it's durable, pretty scratch resistant, easier to install (labor) and isn't at the cost of hardwood floors. Laminate flooring has come a long way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmitch94 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I have laminate "wood" flooring and its alright, supper slippery and loud as shit. I have to keep my dog's nails trimmed or the click clack is unbearable. It's really not that bad I'm being a bit dramatic, however if I were renting a luxury apartment I probably wouldn't be too happy with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angostura Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 The size of that parking lot is heartbreaking. You could take the middle half of that space and build enough structured parking to serve this development and the former Harold's site (also owned by Braun), then develop the 19th and 20th St frontages with additional retail or residential. Instead, you have a couple acres of concrete separating this site from the highly walkable parts of 19th St. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllenOlenska Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Yeah, it's a sea. I'd like to point out what doesn't come through in the pictures (though it's there). A quarter of the chase lot has a two story steel construction. You can see it in on the right in the second and sixth pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once completed, the current Chase building will likely be demolished for whatever is going up in its place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. All three previously existing buildings are in the rendering. The taller, diagonally oriented building is where Braun is putting the surface parking lot.

EllenOlenska Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 A few pictures from a garage over 19th. Some of the shots are of the Greystar/Chase blocks. I always assumed the northeast quadrant of the block (the one closest to the garage and my phone camera) was where they were building. There's a lot of work going on there. If so, it's right across from Alliance. But I can't tell at all from the Greystar rendering. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't done anything to the old Chase Building yet, I don't think. But I think all but the southeastern quadrant (where they have the new chase building) is Greystar. I put it on the Greystar forum where people were recently arguing longwindedly. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
