rechlin Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 From https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2019/04/22/houston-developer-to-buy-land-near-washington-ave.html: Quote Houston developer to buy land near Washington Ave. for apartments, townhome rentals Houston-based Urban Genesis, the developer that selects small tracts of land for more boutique-style apartment buildings with fewer units in popular locations, is buying land for another project near the Washington Corridor. The company plans to close this week on 2.3 acres near Summer Street and Studemont for a new 200-unit project called Co-op at Summer Street, expected to break ground this summer. Co-op at Summer Street will have about 150 apartment units and 50 townhomes, said Matt Shafiezadeh, who oversees strategy and investments for the group. Urban Genesis apartment projects have been “designed to take out dead weight in a complex,” he previously told the Houston Business Journal, meaning there likely won’t be a parking garage or business center as ways to help keep costs in check. Townhomes for rent will be a new lane for Urban Genesis in Houston, Shafiezadeh said. The mostly three-story units will rent for around $2,400 a month. These options are intended to meet the needs of those who want to move out of apartments but may not have the cash on hand for a downpayment, he said. In essence, the rental equivalent of a starter home. Houston-based Dosch Marshall Real Estate represented both the buyer and seller, Shafiezadeh said. He said the seller is a mix of local real estate investors. The tract sits near Alliance Residential’s Broadstone Studemont project at 3030 Summer St. This land was originally proposed for the mixed-use development known as Studemont Junction, which was initially slated to be completed by 2017. Plans for the mixed-use project included upscale apartments as well as retail including grocers, restaurants and health care. In January, permits filed with the city of Houston signaled another mixed-use project in the area was moving forward. An entity named Maple Multi-Family Lower Heights filed $45.76 million in permits with the city for both commercial and residential construction at 2770 Summer St. for a retail shell, open-air parking garage and apartments labeled Alexan Lower Heights, HBJ previously reported. Requests for comment from Trammell Crow Residential, the developer behind the Alexan brand, weren’t returned at the time. Shafiezadeh said developers in the area, including Alliance Residential and Trammell Crow Residential, were working with the city to extend the White Oak hike and bike trail there. Meanwhile, Urban Genesis could modify its Heights-area White Oak Highline design if it’s not granted an off-street parking variance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this idea for Houston, but I'm not sure a location with a 48/100 transit score will give it the best chance of success. Maybe this is a design based on street parking and not transit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this is a design based on street parking and not transit? Good point. I assume that if there won't be a parking garage that other accommodations will have to be made. Surface parking? Parking built into the building (as in 'dingbat' apartments)? Also, is a business center the same as a rental office? With the explosion in online shopping, many tenants rely on having an office where packages can be delivered and claimed. Will there be no on-site management? With that many units some oversight is required to be sure that tenants are behaving themselves. Surely these matters cannot be dismissed as "dead weight". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 @CrockpotandGravel The land is no longer affiliated with the developers behind Studemint Junction therefore Co-op at Summer Street will have its own thread. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The purpose of the threads is to keep up updates on building plans, construction, and so on. And in those threads, even you yourself, will make a post or change the title to notate that the project has changed direction, changed hands, changed its name, or is no longer happening and continue the thread with the replacement project. The Studemont Junction thread falls under those same parameters. Also it helps when searching and reading through the thread to see that portion of the land is now being developed into something else. I don't know why you'll do the same thing I wrote above for every other project, but for this, do something completely different by adding this as a new thread of its own. That's why I posted what I posted because that's not what you usually do. Chill dude 😂 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve merged projects related to a complex, like Sawyer Yards, because most are just smaller retail structures that carry the same name and/or developer. If Co-Op at Summer Street was planned as a later phase to Studemont Junction, then it’d be a different story here. Thread stays put. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that logic, the 609 Main thread should be folded into the Shamrock Tower thread. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this is a design based on street parking and not transit? I know they are currently working with the city on a plan to extend or create a bike trail on the east side of the property, which would run between Co-Op and Broadstone Summer Street, with it connecting to Spotts Park. I believe there should be parking on the ground level, like one of their other projects as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avossos Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Dumb question probably... I know where the new apartments are. Are townhomes going in on the West side of the current apartment? Is the Co-Op going in to the East of the current apartment? Are both going in West? Thanks in advance... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X.R. Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) Those look kind of like the David Weekly townhomes you see in Midtown and the Heights. I ....like it? Alot of people focus on apartments and condos coming in the loop, but seeing such tight townhome in-fill is just as good if not better because it shows that Houston residents can embrace a house that isn't a 2500 sq foot house on a fifth of an acre. And it shows full families moving into these areas. Exciting! Edited January 28, 2020 by X.R. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HNathoo Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I believe it was mentioned that it would be rental townhomes, which would seem to allow them to bypass the 1,400 sq ft minimum lot size requirements. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
