EllenOlenska Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I'm here to say Pasadena does it's best to knock down mid-century stuff too and certainly not for such density as this. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel bad that the women's center isn't gonna be there anymore, but check out Pasadena, Friendswood, Deer Park, old Pearland, and Soho if you want to see brick buildings that prolly still has asbestos in the roof tiles. I'd suggest you look up the works of MacKie and Kamrath. They were a very prolific modernist architecture firm during the golden age of modernism in Houston. Kamrath was mentored by Frank Lloyd Wright, and much of his work was inspired by FLW. This actually is a very fine example of this kind of architecture of the period. Unfortunately, as I've said throughout this forum many times, low-rise uses of any kind will find difficulty existing when areas begin to densify. You also don't seem to know about Asbestos that much. As long as asbestos is undisturbed then it isn't a harm to anyone. The reason why its been outlawed and why its no longer in use is due to the fact that when this material is disturbed and broken apart it begins to release toxins into the surrounding environment. Otherwise if left in tact its actually a very effective material for the time it was created. Luckily we have better technology and understanding, and no longer need to use Asbestos, but just because a building has it within it doesn't mean its a death sentence. As for the roof tiles...I guess that is just your sense of aesthetics, which is subjective and is entirely up to you whether you like it or not, but also not a death sentence. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) Moving out, I talked with a woman about where they are going and she said they are moving to the location on El Camino St. She said work hasn't started on the new building yet but should soon. The new building will be for housing with an increase of spots for women and the existing buildings will be the offices. They have to be out of this building by the 28th of Oct. She was aware that Fairfield is building apartments here. Edited December 4, 2022 by hindesky 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CREguy13 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Looks like demo of the Women's Center should be starting any day now. I didn't get a picture, but they had the whole property fenced off when I drove by earlier this afternoon, fencing wasn't there yesterday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxtethogrady Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Now they tell us! Former Houston Area Women's Center HQ sold to California apartment developer Harris County deed records show a subsidiary of San Diego-based Fairfield Residential purchased the property at 1010 Waugh Drive from the HAWC on Dec. 22. A Fairfield employee confirmed the purchase to the Houston Business Journal, though the company did not immediately respond to requests for comment about its plans for the property. That said, a filing submitted to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation states Fairfield is planning a 630,000-square-foot high-rise apartment building with a garage at 1010 Waugh. The TDLR filing said the new development is expected to cost $85 million by the time it is completed in 2025... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might be thinking of that 36-story tower that was proposed on Waugh just north of the intersection with West Gray. Maybe? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
