Popular Post Urbannizer Posted December 31, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2015 Looks like a residential high-rise is (well, more likely was) planned for 3030 Travis St. Sometime between Jan. 2015 and Aug. 2015 the owners removed all leasing information from the strip center that sits on the site. I was going to dump this in the Houston: Potential thread but there appears to be some intent to build here, just may happen later rather than sooner. http://www.estudioarchitecture.com/# Street View: https://www.google.com/maps/place/3030+travis+st+houston+tx/@29.7429346,-95.3773422,3a,75y,323.82h,90t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m4!1s0XnkosqAYDeJkmiJkWPijg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0xc2661e4e68979a77!6m1!1e1 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CREguy13 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 This has definitely been scrapped, but good to know that the owner/developer for that land has the appetite for a project of this scale. With it's exposure to the new superblock park, proximity to MATCH and Mid Main, I'd think this will still be a high-profile development even though we may have missed it for this cycle. I think we will see a lot fewer full-block apartment projects, and more high-rise/mid-rise developments that just take up a portion of the block (high-rise maybe full block). Land prices are pretty level right now, but once these new residences move-in and all the amenities fill out, it will be harder to make a Pearl Midtown, or Camden Midtown economical unless you really jack up the rents. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind smaller or less full block developments. We certainly got A LOT this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerNut Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 this is such a prime spot for a midrise. I think the yoga studio is the only tenant. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, just your "gone in the next 3 to 5" (days? years?) comment above. Thought you might have seen a demo permit. The block has been listed for sale for about two months per my source. 1.15 acres. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Urbannizer Posted September 16, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2019 https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/article/Oxberry-14441433.php For their next project, they’re working on a multifamily building in the Midtown area. The company has the land under contract and is working with Ziegler Cooper Architects on the design of a 12-story building. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boring, but competent and consistent. Would really like to see ZC push the envelope on something, but one thing is for sure...they maintain a satisfactory level of consistency and quality. They have their designs down to a science, which is why they may appear to be boring. They are a corporate firm remember. With that being said they are a great firm to do exactly what you just mentioned which is infill. Every city needs at least a few firms that are like a ZC. Nothing to write home about, but nothing to argue about either. The more infill we get from firms like these, the less space to build tract projects, the more opportunities for stand out projects because of land value/return on investment. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcal Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 First midtown mid-rise project announced since parking minimums were eliminated? Feel like it'll skew higher end though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like it'll skew higher end though. This is whats most intriguing about the timing of this announcement. Is this going to be the first to fully embrace the new market-based parking scheme. I really hope so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on Oxberry Group's last residential project, does anyone think this one will be similar in design? No unfortunately. The article mentions Ziegler Cooper as the architect, Mondrian at the Museums was designed by Perkins+Will. ZC does not have anything similar to Perkins+Will's work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatguysly Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Midtown Park along the rail was brilliant idea that has spurred development around it. Seems everyone wants to have easy access to it. It is a nice little spot to visit too. Really ties the area together. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
