L. Robertson Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 This project should never have been approved. Where are the environmental, drainage, traffic, and fire department studies. This property is land locked and there is a legal agreement concerning this property with the adjacent property. Developer is trying to tell adjacent property what part if any of the legal agreement he will honor. There will be a binding mediation concerning this agreement. The other adjacent property has sued to stop this project. This project should have had all these questions answered before approval.

Urbannizer Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 https://www.virtualbx.com/construction-preview/houston-senior-living-midrise/ Houston (Harris County) — The long awaited second phase of a condo tower development made a brief appearance before the Planning Commission this fall, but is once again in a state of limbo. The developer, Les Kilday of Kilday Partners LLC, proposes to construct an 85-unit senior housing building atop an existing underground parking structure. Kilday obtained a 9% housing tax credit award this summer from the Texas Department and Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA), and a $6.7 million Community Development Block Grant Award from the city of Houston. It would seem as if the project was well on its way to a construction start date, but a variance request that appeared on the Planning Commission’s October meeting was deferred to November, withdrawn prior to the November meeting and did not make it onto the December agenda. The bump in the road comes from strong opposition from at least one neighboring homeowner’s association that has led to a lawsuit. During public comment in October, George Reardon, a spokesman with the Briar Hollow Townhouses HOA, referred to a deed restriction founded on a decades old settlement the limits what can be done on an easement–the paved roof of the existing parking structure is how Kilday proposes to gain access to the new building, which is landlocked and has no other means of entry. It was further alleged that the easement would not be accepted as a right of way for fire trucks. Mark Mucasey, the project architect and principal of Mucasey & Associates, vigorously denied Reardon’s claim. The building proposed is a revised design of one that was never built that was intended to be Phase 2 of a residential project. Phase 1, a 22-story tower, was constructed long ago. “This building has completely respected all of the easements, the setbacks, the orientations that were mandated by the townhouse project immediately to our west,” Mucasey said. “We have designed this building accordingly. “Our building sits at our ground level, and does not violate (the) building line facing towards the townhomes.” Mucasey said claims about the easement not being in compliance as an acceptable fire lane would mean the existing 22-story tower would be in non-compliance, “and I can’t imagine that would be the case.” Kilday needs a variance to allow an unrestricted reserve without public street frontage. In the early 1980s, when the original developer planned for the existing 22-story tower, Park Square One Condominiums, building footprints were created that would gave access to a 28-foot-wide private drive. According to the city staff report, the new design doesn’t match the original platted building footprints. “Granting the variance request is the only possible way to overcome these hardships and restore the applicant’s ability to reasonably use their land,” the staff report concludes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedistrict84 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 This should come as absolutely no surprise, but that rendering looks virtually identical to the Campanile on Commerce over in Second Ward. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Jones Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I have been told by a reliable source that this project will not be moving forward. it’s a shame, the building was actually very nice. Mucasey seems to rubber stamp his cover page for the project documents. The actual building did not look like that rendering. It’s was elevated parking on concrete columns with the podium deck above that. There were terraces with what seemed like nice views. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
