And just imagine - maybe, someday, Camden at McGowen Station will be completed, too, and we'll have Main Street back again. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texasota Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 That is ... a very wide variety of neighborhoods. Among those, the closest comparison (at least in physical form) is probably Navy Yard/ SE/ the area around the ballpark. Once everything currently under construction is finished, I actually think Midtown will be pretty comparable to Navy Yard. Actually, I'd say Midtown is better because it has actually managed to retain some remnants of previous iterations of itself. Navy Yard has retained a few nice old red brick buildings, but the actual tenants are mostly pretty bougie and mediocre. Midtown absolutely has its bro scene of course, but it also has Leon's, Continental Club, Big Top, Double Trouble, Tacos a-go-go, some remaining good bits of Little Saigon, the best Spec's, 13 degrees, HCC Central's campus, the amazing job done at the old Gulf Station for Revival, same for Axelrad, some solid newer stuff like Spicy Girl, and it's even getting a Whole Foods for just a touch of bougieness. Nah, twenty years nothing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxman Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 So now that this project is, for all intensive purposes complete, what is the next step regarding the other towers that are supposedly 500-600 feet tall? Are we still expecting them to rise soon? Has anybody even seen the full rendering except for the bottom 10 floors or so? The only reason I'm interested in this project is because of those yet-to-be-built towers. Not this thing.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I'm interested in this project is because of those yet-to-be-built towers. Not this thing.. In my opinion, “this thing” is actually quite significant for Midtown and the Main Street corridor. It stands on its own merit as a high-quality, well-designed development that elevates the whole area. It’s a major step forward. As for your question, I may be mistaken but I think the next phase breaks ground early next year. The Art Supply building next door is vacated and ready for demolition. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Important pedantry of the day: it's actually "for all intents and purposes", not "for all intensive purposes." But anyway, even if the other buildings don't get built I'd say this tower is pretty significant. 12 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I'm interested in this project is because of those yet-to-be-built towers. Not this thing.. I'm in the opposite camp: much more interested in the bottom 5 floors than the next 40; more interested in how this looks from the sidewalk than from a helicopter (seeing as I spend more time on sidewalks than in helicopters). We have lots of towers in Houston, but not many great (or even good) streetscapes. 18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four residential towers all taller than anything we currently have.

houstontexasjack Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Caydon does some interesting smaller scale things in Melbourne. I’d love to see what they might do with the Chelsea property, across from the Hampstead, on Blodgett for example. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
