hindesky Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 New plat for this, 1500 Gray LLC. Several months ago I was talking with the superintendent for the mixed use project at Austin St and Webster and he mentioned that this has several underground tunnels underneath and he guessed that is why they may have set this project back. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) Looks like 1500 Gray also had a lawsuit back in 2020 questioning the amount of property taxes levied on the property. I don't know how to read lawsuits..... https://trellis.law/doc/45929446/PLAINTIFFS-ORIGINAL-PETITION Edited January 19, 2022 by hindesky 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how to read lawsuits..... https://trellis.law/doc/45929446/PLAINTIFFS-ORIGINAL-PETITION 1500 Gray and HCAD agreed to value the property at $3,865,000 for 2020. They also sued in 2016, 2018, 2019, and 2021. I look this stuff up at the Harris County district Clerk's site, which is free, and ahs all of the available documents. The suit basically says that HCAD over valued the property, and 1500 Gray wants it reduced, along with attorney's fees, yada, yada, yada. Looks typical for an appraisal lawsuit, but I haven't read that many of them. I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV. I also did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, preferring to sleep in my own bed. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't this like the third or fourth project that's mushroomed in size, in addition to the zombie projects that have come back to life with new names (hello, Langley!)? I guess $100 a barrel oil must make all the real estate developers giddy... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I recall Phase II was always proposed to be a high rise, not sure what the cause of the delay was but probably financing related. I talked with a supervisor building the multi use project on Austin St at Webster and he said there were old tunnels underneath the property which may have set it back too.

Highrise Tower Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Just noticed this on TDLR. The Project consists of a 230 Unit, multi-family community with one (1) 2-Level Parking Garage totaling 287 parking spaces. The building construction includes five (5) stories of wood framed apartments. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillip_white Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 This looks like a carbon copy of the 2111 apts. Hopefully they can throw a bone with some retail. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was originally pitched as a high-rise with a restaurant on the ground floor. Now it appears they're doubling down on the comical architecture which most likely means no GFR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillip_white Posted May 12, 2023 Author Share Posted May 12, 2023 Hopefully this will motivate the group that bought/demolished House of Dereon to develop that block. 10 hours ago, hindesky said: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillip_white Posted May 25, 2023 Author Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) Couldn't find a thread for the blocks around Advantage BMW, but the parking lot between this apartment complex and Pierce Elevated had a core drilling rig collecting soil samples this afternoon. It's currently used by Advantage BMW for employee parking, but I'm not sure who owns it. Edit: since there's a new apartment building proposed, I will specify the lot as being bounded by Austin/Gray/LaBranch/45 Edited May 25, 2023 by phillip_white 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
