hindesky Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Work has started, crew is creating an equipment entrance at Freund St. at Middle St. Which I think is a bad place to put it since all the streets are tiny and everyone parks on the narrow streets. They should create an entrance on Kennedy St. at Middle St. since it's a straight shot in to the property. Pin drop is where they are creating the entrance. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 So I talked with the NRP site superintendent, he said it will have a precast parking structure using a crawler crane to assemble. The apartments actually have a name, "The Point at Bayou Bend". At some point they will doing sewer and water hooks up that will require closing Middle St. to traffic. He said they will be having up to 200 trucks a day bringing material to the site. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of these places flooded during Harvey which was the bellwether to judge projects in the area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that is reassuring. I kinda figured as much, but didn't want to overassume the due diligence of Houston developers . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Lots of trucks coming and going to the site bringing material and stabilized fill dirt. They have a street sweeper that is constantly cleaning the streets they use. Every single car that is parked on those streets have a film of dirt on them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 "The Pointe at Bayou Bend" aka 800 Middle. Google Maps has it labeled as that too and early on when construction was starting the site superintendent from NRP Group invited me in to his construction trailer to talk, he told me that was name too. He said they still call it 800 Middle amongst themselves but the official names is "The Pointe at Bayou Bend". The start of the parking garage. Google Maps. When he invited me in his trailer he let me take a pic of the site plan he had on the wall. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strickn Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Good updates. Man even that site plan could be improved by having some Discovery-Green-style-lowrise afterschool program snack and boat and bike workshop sheds on a central pocket green, instead of a proposed parking garage. Not sure why they want to go and make "at Bayou Bend" a generic first draft ad copycat name when it is already a specific local museum name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Talked with the truck drivers bringing the pre-cast concrete pieces for the parking garage. They said they are coming from a plant in San Antonio on the north loop 1604. It's called Bexar Concrete Works and not the one by IH 10 near Six Flags. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
