cspwal Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I wonder if the condos are simply 6 square feet, but provide a fully interactive virtual world, one which you share with all of your fellow residents. Additionally, it could be sustainability powered by it's residents 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFootsSocks Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) Website shows these will be around $125,000 for one unit, which doesn't sound all that bad until you realize they're just under 600 sqft. Though I can imagine a lot of UH grads will eat these up. I might even consider this... Edit; Nvm, there are other floor plan options. That 2018 completion date is so far though...

cspwal Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Why does that first floor plans have 2 full bathrooms for 1 bedroom? If they had made that front one a half bath, there would have been more storage space. Also, why put the bathroom at the corner as opposed to the bedroom? Weird choices 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shasta Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I really don't know what developers are waiting for but the Third Ward could be the best tapped area in the city. It is close to downtown, it is in the loop, it is close to mass transit it is anchored by the third largest university in the state and many have eagerly been waiting for this area to properly develop for decades!! In my opinion, efficiencies for this low of a price is setting the bar pretty low. I envision this becoming another EADO in a decade or two. Look for developers to start to test the waters....imagine if it got an InTown Homes townhouse development, imagine a large mixed use project along Scott Street across from the campus. Imagine, a run on the lots with nice homes. This all could be reality. In know, the catchment area right now doesn't support development but many UH grads, professors, students, etc. have been waiting for the Third Ward to get its act together and catch up with the rest of the booming parts of the city. There is absolutely no reason why it shouldn't. Let's home this project starts the momentum...because it is happening ..just a matter of WHEN not IF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 IMHO it's abandoned. Weeds growing out of the top a dumpster. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird choices I assume you could have guest or kids sleeping on the sofa bed that will need a full bath. It looks like the plans with beds only are actual sleeper sofas.

Stew Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I'm curious. Why would anyone pay $125,000 for these incredibly small condos? They should have made them student housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they think this is Austin where they can turn them over after the kid graduates and make a profit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) The price per square foot (low 200s) is very reasonable. You'd have a hard time finding a better price for a new construction condo in central Houston.
