Texasota Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Is the school a block up still actually used? If not, another great spot for apartments. Other good spots: The rest of the block between Dart, the tracks, and the newer townhouses Block surrounded by Dart, Colorado, Edwards, and Johnson Giant parking lot east of Winter Street Studios Block between henderson, winter, white, and summer Block between Hickory, Dart, and the fire station Area north of Elder Street Lofts Area between Elder St, Dart, 45, and Ecclesia Industrial land between Houston, Spring, and I-10 Some of the other remaining industrial land north of Spring St Suburban nonsense between Crockett, Sawyer, and I-10 Chick-Fil-A 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live here, and just hope the area becomes fully rounded with all types uses. I actually would like to see more offices and urban retail type establishments. The Brock School is lightly used by HISD but certainly can be used more effectively. Might need to be a future Middle school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrainTrak Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I hope this new apartment complex means the pedestrian crossing under the railroad along Houston Ave. will be cleaned more frequently, and possibly improved so that someone with a stroller or in a wheel chair could use it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried walking my bicycle through there once but found it littered with human excrement and had to tread carefully. It also has steps on each end of the little tunnel.

AFriendlyNeighbor Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 What's going to happen to the rest of the Montalbano proper to the west of this plat? I just visited an open house on Dart this past weekend with a 4th floor patio with great downtown views. Although the noted plat doesn't block the townhome's view of downtown, I can't imagine the remaining Montalbano property will stay as-is for long. The townhome is listed mid $600k now. I wonder how much would losing the downtown view affect it's value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked the street view around that underpass and there's a guy standing there looking at the new townhome construction. It makes sense that this is a north-south pedestrian corridor. I wonder from where and to where are they going. Edited March 9 by AFriendlyNeighbor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 Still a working business, don't see any hurry to close it down soon. The warehouse next door seems to be for sale, it's between another section of Montalbano Lumber on Dart St. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 (edited) The warehouse Buffalo Real Estate Partners listed is now under contract. I would assume Modera would want to add it to their new property next door. https://buffalorep.com/listing/231-Land-1615-Dart-St-Houston-Tx-77007-Call-For-Pricing/ Edited March 14 by hindesky 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However there is a track A that is 1.5 Acres. Are both under contract? I wouldnt be so sure this is Mill Creek - if these tracks both are U/C this is plenty of space for 2 large scale midrises... potentially 3!

hindesky Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 I was looking at HCAD earlier to see who owned what and it showed Tract A belonged to Houston Police Officers Pension Fund. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the new apartment will bring needed maintenance! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 (edited) I wonder who purchased the lot next to this? It's being called "Art South". Edited May 21 by hindesky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avossos Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 It looks to be a townhome farm on both sides of Dart Street! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
