hindesky Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) New plat that was approved. Looks like it could be a small apartment project. Edit: Apparently it wasn't approved because it's still up for the next Planning Commission meeting.

JLWM8609 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 The house that was there was torn down a few years ago. The house next door is one of the only homes left from the days when that part of Riverside was called Crescent Island because of the oxbow in the bayou. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The development on 2727 Houston Ave is really nice. It's simple and great urban infill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aachor Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I'll be really happy to see this lot being developed. For how many people that the med center employs, there is a serious lack of good housing options in the area. My wife and I lived in the area for six years, and lived in two separate apartment complexes in that time. Both times that we were shopping for a rental, it was shocking how limited our options were if we were trying to stay within two miles. This location is a couple hundred feet from the MacGregor bus line which puts you within a stop or two of MD Anderson, St. Lukes, etc. With the TMC3 and Levit Green developments going on, I don't see how any competent housing developer could lose in this area. Especially if they can keep rents in the price range of a nurse or office worker. In my opinion, a mid-rise condo building would also be a great fit. What ended up forcing us out of the area is that we wanted to buy rather than rent. There were simply no good options in our price range, unlike other neighborhoods within the loop like Montrose, Upper Kirby, Midtown, or the Heights. Heck, the Downtown has much better condo options and has the advantage of being on the rail. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
