X.R. Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Goddamn, that looks fun and that amenity list is insane. The whole boxy designs with aggressively designed balconies is a thing in Houston now, huh. Plus the "lets put this on pillars and make show them off like midriff." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcal Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Oh hell yes. Put it into my veins. Nextdoor comments are going to be as spicy as Tierra Caliente's hot sauce. I have to think that the "open" portion of the building is going to face west and not into the neighborhood. I'm surprised the render doesn't include a banner that says "Trader Joe's one block away!". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the "lets put this on pillars and make show them off like midriff." I love it. It's modern without being overly trendy. I love the pillars separating the residences from the garage- it breaks up the visual massing. And, generally I hate stucco in mid/high-rise construction. But in the instances when it's been used in this kind of building, I think it works. Regardless, it's a million times better than building massive city block-sized buildings with cheap post-modern bastardized takes on Italian or Spanish architecture. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Fence guys have moved over here now. They told me they are still waiting on the gates for the 3615 Montrose project. I told them about the Allen Harrison Kipling project going up next to this, I wonder which one will break ground sooner? A separate crew is marking the boundaries. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Most of the chainlink fencing is up but no gates yet. One gate on W. Alabama St and one on Kipling St. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennyc05 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 This is a huge upgrade to this stretch of W Alabama. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Which of their 3 projects will kick off first? I'm guessing 3615 Montrose, only because they are the only project that has the SWPPP permits up on the fence. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 This has me very worried, looking thru the Berkadia 2Q22 Houston Construction Pipeline it shows that "DLC Residential" is involved with the UsLiving project on 1920 W. Alabama. DLC is currently building the Sovereign at the Ballpark and they built the Dolce Midtown on W. Gray St. The Dolce project took about 4 years to build and Sovereign is looking to break that timeline. A 13 story could take 8+ years and a 36 story could take 15+ years at the rate they finish projects. 😬😠😦 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLC Residential were previous owners of the site and sold to US Living. They are not involved in this project. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
