astrohip Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Interesting. That area is getting hotter. Thanks for sharing. I'm not skilled in reading TDLR reports. Can we tell from that what they're planning? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I've noticed a lot of development in that area between Buffalo Bayou and I-10. Doesn't that seem like a bad idea since there's a project to bung a canal through the neighborhood? Or are these people trying to get in on the land rush that's expected to follow?

Popular Post hindesky Posted December 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2021 Work has started on the old warehouse, the middle portion is currently an employee parking lot and the eastern lots next to the bridge seem to be construction trailers and lay down yard. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Ok I've been very critical of Urban Genesis but I have to give them credit. They basically took over the Warehouse District and made it a goal to redevelop it. So many developers have overlooked this area for years. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 This is going to bring this whole area too everyones attention, and I hope they have studied the maps and worked around the proposed canal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The North Canal should be several hundred feet south of where their projects are. Plus I've seen renderings that looks like they shore up the side of the new canal. This is from Metro. You can't even see the Urban Genesis projects in this. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame that the Metro bus barn is going to be right next to that walking trail. When I lived at Dakota Lofts, Metro would let those buses idle all day long and the fumes blowing in the windows was awful sometimes. At least we could close the windows. Walkers will get gassed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the canal will increase the value of the land to the point where Metro will sell it and move their bus barn someplace else. They are already losing about a third of their capacity from the lower buildings being demolished so they will most likely be looking elsewhere already to replace that capacity (although the graphic does show a new building along the northern part of the site). This Warehouse District project will also increase the value of the land by establishing the area for multi-family. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 In the warehouse district master planning, there is a concept of encouraging Metro to relocate the bus facilities to the north on part of the land that is currently occupied by I-10, but will be abandoned by TXDoT when the freeway is relocated as part of NHHIP. This would free up the Metro land for private development along the north canal. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 New plat for the lots Urban Genesis owns on McKee. It includes all but the 4 houses. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaDo Lou Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 If I am not mistaken, I think these are the only 4 traditional single-family homes that still exist within the CBD region bounded by I-10, I-45, and I-69. All other homes have been torn down, moved out, or exist as museum homes only. I am not sure about this, but I can't find any other of these kind of houses in this region. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope someone didn't wreck in to her. Some things never change... When we worked there, people would often try to go the wrong way on that little stub of McKee, to get to the freeway ramps. Otherwise, you had to drive a couple hundred feet and do a U-turn. The problem was cars coming off that ramp are going... fast! We had one employee who got hit twice (yes, twice!) doing the U-turn. He was an effing idiot. He was smart enough not to drive the wrong way on McKee, but that's all he was smart enough for. Thanks for posting these pictures. I don't get by as often as I would like. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
