CREguy13 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxtethogrady Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love when they put the garage on the bottom levels then build up vs. expanding horizontally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxtethogrady Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) So there will be three highrises of about the same height and character on that stretch of Waugh - Fairfield Waugh, Modera Waugh and Pearl Rosemont. Should make the Montrose look dense... Edited February 9 by toxtethogrady 4 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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are nice buildings, but the renderings look naked and Le Corbusier-esque. Edited February 10 by 004n063 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think they'd be much more effectively advertising their own buildings, which inevitably look better in context. Also, proximity to other stuff is a selling point. You could always snub the details to make the other buildings look blander. But, to me at least, any of those renderings would be much more appealing if it showed a dense neighborhood. (Not that my broke-ass perspective would be of any consequence to developers, but I doubt I'm alone in this...)

Popular Post hindesky Posted March 10 Popular Post Share Posted March 10 Spotted the Arcosa/Cherry Demolition excavator on site. Stopped and talked with the workers who said they will be starting on Monday. They also said the asbestos abatement workers are finishing up and will be gone in a day or two. They confirmed they came from the Fairfield Sawyer Heights demo on Oliver St. They also said that Arcosa bought out Cherry a couple years ago but are just now starting to change the name. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Just as I suspected Fairfield is going to use the little lot between the townhomes and Jack In The Box for their construction trailers.
