skooljunkie Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 On 7/14/2020 at 12:50 PM, ljchou said: I am also confused by this breakdown of land. Specifically on the right-hand block. Can someone explain why the land division isn't simply rectangular? To add to thedistrict84's comment, I usually hear the lots with lil' nubs referred to as "flag lots." Houston townhome flag lots are usually along shared driveways and give each driveway-user ownership of equal portions of the shared space (all users share the tax burden, etc.). In rural areas with limited road access, flag lots are created to prevent extremely narrow subdivision lots, providing all landowners driveway access to the public road and allowing better lot proportions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljchou Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 To my surprise, 218 Hutcheson which sold last year is the first to have construction begin. Three townhomes going up by Arcada Homes at the corner of Garrow and Hutcheson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedistrict84 Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 I saw a (very small) piece of construction equipment present here, at the lot on the southeast corner of Sherman and Sampson. Hopefully it’s a sign that this is about to get going? (Although it is InTown Homes after all, they like to take their sweet time) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Although it is InTown Homes after all, they like to take their sweet time) I saw they’ve applied for waste water applications on this block, the one to the east and at the old Rex supply building. Could mean good things as it seems that’s the first step prior to building permits. Sending the universe some building pmt vibes this week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljchou Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Unfortunately I live right by here and asked what they were up to... no building yet, just fixing a broken pipe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljchou Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 A ton of Waste Water application permits were just submitted for all of these lots. Also for 3829 Harrisburg. I'm hoping this means IntownHomes is *finally* spinning up production here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They submitted WW permits for the lots at Harrisburg and Milby just to turn around and list it for sale so hopefully they follow through on the residential development.

They’re going to be working on those for quite a while. I’m not sure “wrapping up” is the best way to categorize their progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding that InTown was building a few of those and another developer was handing the rest. Otherwise, the fencing between lots doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I could be wrong though.

I think the fence is just a practical result of the layout of the two sections. The section fronting Canal is organized along a single “L” drive due to the corner lots which aren’t part of the development, whereas the part along Commerce has a series of lateral drives perpendicular to a main drive. Homes on both sides back up to the fence. I thought it was initially divided by phases, but they’ve built homes on both sides of the fence—and many lots on both sides have not broken ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have unbuilt homes for sale already, too. Specifically those facing commerce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljchou Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Are there any updates on the townhome development around here? They cleared out so much land but the progress of building has been so slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
