They seem to be retail development company, hopefully they do something tasteful. They also bought that property in the Heights that used to be Sand Dollar store on 18th and Yale. https://levcor.com/projects#view=grid Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if that Illuminati lodge across the street is next? 😁 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CREguy13 1887 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Interesting. Hopefully Levcor is planning for this to be mixed-use and not strictly retail. High-rise hotel, residential or both is perfect for this location. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most of their stuff is big box retail. The Heights Sand Dollar building looks promising if it happens. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t think capital markets are open to high rise apartment construction in Houston right now. Maybe they’ll go for historic tax credits and remodel the church into a high end restaurant or event venue? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ross 1480 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Hmm, another Christian Science church goes away. Are they losing members quickly, or are the members moving to other areas. 4910 Montrose is a good sized facility that implies there were a number of members at some point in the past. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can see the possibility of a high end restaurant, especially with the fine dining restaurant slated to open just down the street in the new Nancy and Rich Kinder Building at MFAH. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Replying to my own question, Christian Science is dying. They are selling property all over the country, and membership is way down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

clutchcity94 384 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) Levcor needs to step it up with this prestigious address. Their strip center at Richmond & Kirby is not a looker. Edited January 7 by clutchcity94 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
