IntheKnowHouston Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) Sorry. I don't know where this located. Maybe the following info will be helpful in your search. The building lists 1617 as part of the address: From the same LinkedIn post you hotlinked the rendering from: "Join us as we fly through this epic rendering of one of our current design projects. This project will be a 390-unit Class A multi-family rental project in Houston’s Galleria/Uptown District. The complex is six stories over structured parking and features an array of enticing amenities including 21,000 square feet of clubhouse space, a leisure and lap pool with a wet deck, expanded work-at-home support facilities, a fitness center, concierge services, and integrated pet-friendly outdoor spaces." "Major shoutouts to Jared Tipps for the excellent design, Jerry Tipps and team for code consultation and support, and Pacific Star Capital MGT LP for trusting us to help them realize their vision for this project!" https://www.linkedin.com/posts/heights-venture-architect-design_hv-multi-family-residential-rendering-fly-through-activity-6982744411004661761-2Q00 A link to the fly-through video linked in the post: https://dms.licdn.com/playlist/C4E05AQHwzyR3GAnevw/mp4-640p-30fp-crf28/0/1664815983788?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=yXg7R7-x8Xjhra46l2kcbZ9p1To4jWeSeoKp0BNZ63Q Edited October 10, 2022 by IntheKnowHouston 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Highrise Tower Posted October 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2022 This is located near the corner of Fountain View & San Felipe. Looks like the old Three Fountains apartments will be demolished for this development. Looking on Google Satellite, I can see the corner bank with drive through, the long retail strip center, and finally the Public Storage buildings behind the retail strip center. You can tell it's the same site because the Public Storage buildings are portrayed to be same length in the rendering. Comparing satellite, one of the buildings is shorter than the other. There is also that small building sitting in between the long strip center and the Public Storage buildings. I can also see what looks to be the The Village of Tanglewood multifamily complex behind this proposed Heights Venture building. 8 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Address matches that section of Three Fountains - 1617 Fountain View Drive Had a friend who lived in the Phase I section of Three Fountains near Burgoyne just over 10 years ago. Their unit seemed like they were riding the line between comfortable and dated. Definitely not the best use of the land even then. Glad to see these garden-style apartments are transforming into something better. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

004n063 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Am I the only one who thinks this looks worse? It might be better, but getting rid of streetfront engagement always feels like backsliding to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wants to be in Galveston... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I love it. After spending some time recently on the west coast, I think It has an L.A. feel to it. I hope this gets built. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather the empty lots and parking lots get developed before older more affordable housing get replaced with complexes charging $2,500 a month for a 1-1 unit. Looks nice though.

bobruss Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 jmitch94 , you make a very good point, but sometimes those empty lots and parking lots aren't for sale. The developers work with what they can get. I don't always agree with them but in this case it is a nice replacement architecturally. Those apartments are 50 years old. I'm sure they've seen better days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
