houstontexasjack Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I saw some activity on one of the lots by this site a couple weekends ago. I’ll have to walk by again to see if it might be related to this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 This does not appear to specifically be senior housing. Other properties are called out as such, but I don't see that for this one. Could have just missed it though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 The intersection of MacGregor and Almeda is in dire need of some retail though. I know there's the gas station and a couple spots in the Mosaic, but there's a bunch of apartments nearby already. A little market would be nice. Maybe a deli/ taqueria. Coffee shop. Nothing too fancy... but at least a little bit fancy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t expect those guys to be there too much longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What more could one want in senior housing? At least it is close to the Texas Medical Center. I live next door it's a great area! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with units only being 1 and 2 bedrooms then most will probably be senior citizens anyway and working class people who don't make much for luxury apt rents. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 It's a 2 minute walk to a bus stop; 3 minute walk to the Judson Robinson Community Center; maybe a 6 minute walk to get on the Hermann Park trails. As already clarified above, there is no apparent reason to think the project is targeted at seniors; it is being developed as a mixed income multi-family (most multi-family developments are predominantly one and two-bedroom). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X.R. Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 It's truly strange how few grocery stores/coffee shops/local corner stores/etc there are in that area. You have a ton of people living by that park, stupid amounts of foot traffic. I can guess why that is but its not a pretty thought. Regardless of its location, its targeting 60% of AMI and lower, which is super commendable. Tbh, I'm surprised the business interests behind the Mosaic and other higher end apartments are OK with such a development. I didn't see where it says senior housing. I wish more of these would go up in that neighborhood, emancipation area, and the heights. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HEB across 288 opens in less than 2 months! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midtowndweller Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I honestly thought that gas station/shawarma king location was going to be a Starbucks. To add a little positive energy, if executed properly, this would have great freeway presence. Believe it or not (sans construction) driving down inner loop 288/59 u get the ‘urban’ look you don’t see often from Houston freeways. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to be in the neighborhood, but are having a hard time finding a site that would pencil out. The land has gotten too expensive. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amlaham Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Anyone else think this project is going to look good 😅, its going to partially cover Mosaic's garage and have a massive presence on 288. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
