Jax Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I just noticed this when walking around my neighborhood this evening. Does anybody know the details? I didn't realize there was a school on that block before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 And here is the fencing, 216 to 240 Portland. Looks more likely to keep the vagrants out than for construction. This topic was started in 2015. Anyone know what's going up across the street? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HNathoo Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I believe the school behind this purchased these lots for expansion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upscale townhouses across the street haven't been selling well, but another lot next to them has seen recent demo (last picture above) that the school would not want (although the Pres. Church might as itis adjacent to their "Operation ID" building. ) Today, it appeared that crews were out on Portland to cut of the electricity to the newly fenced apartments.... soon to be demoed? Note, the fencing style is the same as in the last pic above. As of April-2019, Joy Development School is the owner of the lot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That little pocket is very charming IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna say something similar after Urbannizer posted that image. That part of MD is very Montrose: townhouses, a giant apartment/condo place, the school, traditional houses, and old places that serve as apartments, and those old school retail places. When the former Chelsea market gets its shit together, its gonna be, as the kids say, 100. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texas911 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I used to live in one of those apartments, but the one that was off of Montrose. They demolished for the high rise that's there now. Such a nice old school place! Oh and it was definitely haunted. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darb64 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 A different rendering perspective than the one on the sign, found on Manzel Homes web site. The Museum Tower sure has an ugly back wall. Too bad they don't find a way to screen it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will make the whole street seem a bit crowded in for the area ad (IMO) less desirable. Townhouses are no longer planned here. As mentioned by @HNathoo, it's for the school to expand. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean The Joy School? Was going to ask if we should move this to the Museum District Subforum because its just townhomes, but I guess we should leave it here for an announcement? We normally don't leave schools on going up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top notch education for kids with a variety of learning issues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Joy School is NOT EXPANDING I think the original developer replatted this into a townhome development, then abandoned their plans and sold to the joy school, whom has yet to replat this back to a commercial reserve.

HNathoo Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 1 hour ago, Toopicky said: How do you explain the school installing new address posts (pictured in post above) that appeared over the weekend? There are a multiple of them all along the north side of the street (more than the previous 4 addresses of the apartment buildings). Also consider that a townhouse is being built on the other Joy School lot at 205(ish) Portland just down the street. The addresses probably have something to do with a possible replat. The property across the street doesn’t really have anything to do with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HNathoo Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 3 minutes ago, Toopicky said: .... but it does provide evidence that the owners of the Joy School are into building townhouses. Besides, a replat doesn't need physical addresses posted on the street, although addresses would be helpful in efficiently delivering supplies to a larger construction site. I guess we’ll have to wait and see. My gut tells me the joy school isn’t in the business of building townhomes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
