citykid09 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Now this is how I expect Rice Village to look! Look a little closer and you can see that it doesn't have parrallel parking it has front in parking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look a little closer and you can see that it doesn't have parrallel parking it has front in parking.Well the actual development doesn't (well on the left it looks like there is a car, but I can't tell if it is parked or mowing down pedestrians). Isn't that how some of the parking is now. Like on the south side of university. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blows citykid's theory right out of the water. What? Thats what I was saying. The parking goes straight in, in front of the buildings instead of parallel parking. So I was right. Is that what you were saying? That I was right? This development looks like the stuff you would find on Rodeo Drive.

Which is it?citykid's quote from Atlanta Station thread:"Parallel parking looks much more urban to me than the type of parking they have in the Height, Sugarland townsquare, and The Rice Village. Now you all can not tell me you would like to see those type of houses in Houston. The truth hurts!"

SamHouston Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 (edited) I can't place this yet, but a little poking around the Ziegler Cooper website I found this: It's from the top of their page, (apologies, I don't have a picture host/the will to crop it) to the right of the 2727 Kirby picture appears to be another rendering of the project...certain things match up.

VelvetJ Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Just looking at this project again, I could totally see a significant portion of Kirby one day looking like this from River Oaks down to the Rice Villiage. I could also see Westheimer at Post Oak having a similar type of development.Anyway, my favorite thing about this proposal is the details in it. I love the structure around the roof. I love that the top of the far left corner of the building looks as if it could be illuminated at night. I love the lamp posts. I love the awnings. Very exciting stuff. I only hope it can come to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know when it's due to be complete?Final stages of design development currently. ZC should be released to start CD's by the end of this calendar year. Given that, look for dirt to start moving sometime early next spring. The scope and magnitude of this project is really going to blow people away. What Houston has lacked is a group willing to spend the funds necessary to develop what is truly a mixed use. Not just a retail center with residential added as an afterthought. But truly an integrated design. This project truly will reshape our perception about urban living. Very exciting. Kudos to those involved.

SamHouston Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Okay, this is my best guess of location:In the overhead angle, the roof in the left foreground looks very similar to the roof of the the Children's Assessment Center - John M. O'Quinn Campus, on the northwest corner of Bolsover and Kelvin.Then in the overhead, the "pink street" between the two developments would be Bolsolver east of Kelvin as it runs between Walgreens and the UPS Store, Nit Noi etc, meaning that the 6-10 story office building that the UPS Store is in as well as the strip mall that has Nit Noi & Good Neighbor Cleaners would make way for the building w/ the pool, etc, as well as El Paso Imports and Kin's Cafe on the north side of that block. Walgreens and the surrounding parking lots (east and west) would be the footprint for the strip of buildings on the right side of the overhead.I'm interested to see if the south side of the development (south of Bolsolver, east of Kelvin) will back up to the pre-existing stores on Rice (Texadelphia, etc.) or if this will take up two full blocks and replace the retail on Rice Blvd.These points are all moot if I don't have the right location.Here are some links to see what I'm talking about:Google Map of the area - The O-Quinn Campus is the large, gabled roof running along Kelvin between Bolsover and Dunstan...my guess for the location of the development is the full block of Kelvin, Dunstan, Morningside and Bolsover with some development south of Bolsolver between Kelvin and Morningside.Rice Village Map - This could help too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The New Juniper Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Will do. Word is they went "old school" on this one. Everyone is trying to out do each other (see Atlas) to see who can do the hippest, newest, building. These guys did a turn of the century style building. Ziegler designed a cool one here.Stay tuned.

SamHouston Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 So I was in the Village a few weeks ago and saw a sign about closing the 2400 block of Bolsover. I went back to take a picture for all of us, but it had been taken down...But today at breakfast at Buffalo Grille I'm reading the West U rag and see thisFurther hunting uncovered the Southampton Civic Club's page.There they have a site plan and some renderings.

Everyone needs to do their part and call the City and let them know what you think. This building looks awesome, and we need to make sure that we don't let some NIMBYs who just HAVE to drive on Bolsover stop it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
