Dakota79 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I am sure this is somewhere on the going up, but I couldn't find it. Does anyone know how tall the new complex will be? I would guess Avalon Diner will be next to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainJilliams Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I hope that building gets developed into something, residential or mixed-use. This area of town is booming with projects. The antique building looks incredibly outdated in comparison to the developments around it, I'd love to see it get torn down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminare Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) will be interesting if they ask to decommission that part of Cameron St. that is at the back end of the property. Not exactly of any use anymore. Probably better to turn that into a smaller alley way into whatever garage they will put under the building.

I think the apartments next door use it to access their garage, so I can't imagine it being abandoned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So after closer inspection it looks like there is a back road from the apartment complex that attaches to this small part of Cameron St. When going into google street view it seems even a couple houses use this as a back entrance! So thats why I think maybe it would be better to just decommission it as a full street and make it a smaller access alleyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Highrise Tower Posted January 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2019 More of Stanmore River Oaks https://www.virtualbx.com/construction-preview/houston-planning-commission-gets-look-at-four-apartment-projects/ Quote Stanmore Partners, the developer, brought the project to the commission for a variance on the building line, asking to reduce it to 10 feet from Westheimer. “To achieve this urban feel, the developer would like to bring the building and its associated activity up closer to Westheimer,” the staff report continues. “A few years back, Upper Kirby District and TIRZ #19 undertook providing several pedestrian enhancements when they did utility construction within the right-of-way. “These enhancements included adding benches, trash cans, trees, pedestrian scale lighting, and a slightly wider sidewalk on Westheimer that amounts to about 7 feet in width. The TIRZ also planted trees approximately 2 feet from the back of the curb. Stanmore proposes widening the sidewalk by 2 feet-6 inches to make a 9-foot 6-inch sidewalk and provide the 6 foot clear zone that will make this stretch of frontage more comfortable for pedestrians. There will be a three-level parking garage with one level place underground. Stanmore will shield the two above-ground levels of parking with architectural louvers and display windows to create a more interesting walk for pedestrians. “The rest of the frontage will be the lobby for the apartment building with extensive glazing. There will also be extensive landscaping to make the pedestrian experience more enjoyable,” staff added. The existing driveway cuts along Westheimer will be eliminated, thus reducing traffic risks to pedestrians. In the place of the current driveway cuts, the developer will plant street trees that match the trees planted by the Upper Kirby District. The garage access will be from the west side of the building on Revere Street. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarathonMan Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 3 minutes ago, TexasGeneral said: It’s walking distance to lots of retail, including West Ave. I get that this is within walking distance from retail, but Westheimer is a retail/commercial corridor and, in my opinion, any time a developer chooses not to embrace and enhance that fact is a loss. For example: Compare AMLI River Oaks at Waugh & West Gray (no GFR) to the new Mid Main development and the already-established Post Midtown Square, both in Midtown and both with GFR. The AMLI has zero character and creates a “dead zone” along the West Gray corridor, whereas the two Midtown developments really add life and energy to their neighborhood. The comparison is stark. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I was at Local Foods on Sunday and wow this area is just so awesome. Looking south on Kirby with all the developments, a totally new and urban Houston. This will certainly add tremendously to this area. Suppose Shanghai River's days are numbered. Guess I'll have to frequent more often. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasualObserver Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I feel your pain. I joked with a friend recently that we need to start a real estate business where we ask cheapskates (like he and I) where they like to eat and where they live. Those kinds of places seem to get redeveloped every time I turn around. 37 minutes ago, Montrose1100 said: I was at Local Foods on Sunday and wow this area is just so awesome.

On that note, I did see a soil testing rig near the corner of Argonne & Westheimer in that parking lot (1 lot W of this proposed development) a few months back. I didn’t want to needlessly bump this thread at that time. But yes, Shanghai Rivers plot may not be far behind the antique pavilion’s... 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more so the only place left that has white table cloths from the 80s with decent food. They also have a dish called Happy Family Marvin Zindler which is super cool. A relic of the past for sure. The drink menu is ginormous, so many cocktails. Everyone at your table could order the same drink and they might come out different, but they're still good, part of the charm. The food is consistent and reminds of me of Chef Chan's. Higher quality than most. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Amlaham Posted May 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2022 These projects get me sooo excited because this stretch of Westheimer is legit perfect, from the buildings, to the street/sidewalk quality. The area is looking very "complete." Upper Kirby really did an outstanding job. This feels like our version of Beverly Hills.
