Urbannizer Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 http://baxterdevelopment.com/projects-under-development/ In keeping with Baxter Development's Midtown Roots, the company also is developing a luxury residential highrise tower. The mixed-use complex will also feature street level amentities such as fine dining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 South of the superblock would be nice. This could help drive development further south in Midtown. The Fiesta and adjacent parking lots would make for a good site for future highrises--between Downtown and the TMC with good freeway access and visibility.

jmitch94 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Mixed use, residential high rise, street level amenities, midtown. These are the ingredients for a Haifer's wet dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Town Man Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 At least EaDo is in an urban area, where most neighborhood acronyms come from. SOWO is suburbia, thus making way more of a reach than EaDo. I think that's why it's so funny. Kind of like The GOOF (Garden Oaks-Oak Forest). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllenOlenska Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Please, someone help me out on this: there on three obvious towers going up in midtown (3300 Main "Jewel in the Crown" a block north of MATCH; the possible office component of Mid-Main at 3501 Main a block east of Mid-Main; and the possible on the shorter side mixed-use at Louisiana and Anita); there is also this tower ("The Courtlandt"?) which may be going up at the block bound by Main Travis Francis and Holman (which does appear to be MATCH'S block.) The map on the first page of this threat has the arched building coming down for this, but isn't it coming down for the "Jewel"? Does MATCH not take up the whole block?More succinctly, what is this and where is this supposed to be again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Site across from Pearl Whole Foods, 28 floors. http://www.munozalbin.com/64-courtland.html Quote This 150-unit, apartment tower is designed in an urban setting with a food and beverage component on the ground level. The project is a podium type facility with parking capacity to support the residents and a number of food and beverage facilities on site and on neighboring sites. The tower massing and the envelope solution compliment the downtown corridor views it will offer the residents that is in close proximity to the tower. The architectural expression of the tower transitions from a limited progressive appearance on the upper levels to a more traditional ground and second level. The lower levels speak stylistically with the neighborhood and brakes the scale of the project to appeal to the pedestrian traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avossos Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 this is awesome, but is it likely? Didn't we hear some rumblings about that site already... I would like to believe even though the market is down, developers still see the benefit of starting a project that will deliver in 2019 or 2020...

bobruss Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 So has this project received a transfusion or is this just in response to the above question about what was once proposed for this parcel? Isn't this on the site of the much missed Van Loc? Since they closed down one of my favorite spots they owe us a building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllenOlenska Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I'm not sure how official Devmap is, but it suggests Van Loc is a block away from the big Pearl. I think it can only be at Brazos/Anita/Rosalie/Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Town Man Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I don't know if we're going to get this or any other new highrises in this cycle, except maybe the Caydon one. But regardless of what happens, the cycle has brought us this much: Downtown/Midtown/Museum District are now THE neighborhoods for residential high rise development in this city. Not the Galleria. Midtown took the longest - even just two years ago a developer would have stayed on Montrose Blvd. and not risked going further east; now any available block of land in central Midtown west of Fannin is being sniffed over by high rise developers. And by the time the MFAH expansion is finished, you could pave the streets near it in gold for what the land will be worth. Expect vertical. I think the Galleria area highrises will evolve toward a mature crowd, empty nesters. Young people want urban and Post Oak Blvd. isn't it. Nor are any of the faux-urban environments in that area. Those of us who have touted urbanism on this forum for 15 years may still have to worry about whether this or that development will be done, but we will not have to worry about which neighborhoods are the focus or what kind of development (i.e. urban or anti-urban) is getting built.

I think Greater Uptown has more mixed age group than perceived. The thing is, we tend to want to go to the inner loop neighborhoods for drinks, dinner, and outdoor activities.

CREguy13 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 https://munozalbin.com/project/mixed-use-tower-a/ New page on the project. The above link was posted two years and taken down. Anyone know if this project is back in progress or if this has been on the Munoz Albin site a long time? It would make sense with the WF opening next year and a lot of projects seem to be getting financed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Quote UNITS 291 PARKING 758 Cars / 322,276 gsf That's 2.6 cars per unit. Seems excessive - even if you assume 2 cars per every unit, you only need 582 spots, so there's 176 extra spots for the retail component. Doesn't that seem like a lot?
