Lennar affiliate LMC Westcreek Holdings acquired the parcel at the corner of Westcreek and San Felipe from Westcreek HTX Real Estate Partners. The site is across from the Arabella condominium tower Conflicting account of where exactly the site is located: Quote Late last year, Gables Residential started construction on a 14-story apartment building just north of the Lennar site The Gables project is SOUTH of the parcel that's on the corner of Westcreek/San Felipe and across from Arabella. Based on HCAD it appears that the lot is in fact on the corner of Westcreek/San Felipe.

astrohip Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I feel sorry for the people living in that immediate area. The traffic has gotta be killing them. I drive along that stretch of SF all the time, and it's a son of a biscuit trying to get onto San Felipe from the side streets. And it's only going to get worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 That area has so few through streets. Is there anything (parallel) between San Felipe and Westheimer? That's really the issue - everybody gets forced onto one or the other. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBC2HTX Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 They put in a through street from Westcreek to the 610 feeder, so anyone who needs to make a left onto San Felipe from Westcreek can avoid doing so by taking the through street. Otherwise, making a right onto San Felipe isn't so bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astrohip Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Thanks for the update. On a totally unrelated note, I think the Amegy Bank building in your pics is one of the best looking buildings in that area. They did a nice job. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainJilliams Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Wow, I assumed this would be about 7-8 stories, but 20-25 stories is significant. Love that this area is growing so fast. I wonder how long it will be before the gas station near by changes hands. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Yeah that gas station and the surrounding land/landscape (or lack thereof) is HORRIBLE! Hope they do something with that as well But wow...that place will be huge! this whole ROD area is just blowing up!!!!!!!!!!!!! love it 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From suburbia to 25 story residential towers. The low rise E shaped apartments are a little odd though.. not sure why they didn’t want to do more of a wrapped garage/podium for the low rise portion, utilizing the rooftop space for a larger amenity deck.

I agree with your first comment though. My father worked for home builders and then was a home inspector, so my association with Lennar was always single family track housing in the burbs. When I initially heard they were going to get into MF I was very skeptical, but I'm pleasantly surprised. If this is their first entry into the biz....build more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctaf Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 In the second to last render, is the garage really going to be exposed like that facing San Felipe? 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
