Was walking my dog last night and did a double take - i walk past this building weekly and noticed for the first time CityPlace Midtown signage on the building. Looks like Cityplace sucked it up and brought it into the fold. Wonder if this was in the plans all along for the original developer or if it came about naturally? Interesting...

Sovereign At The Ballpark: Multifamily At 100 Crawford St.
Chi-Char-Hou-Dal replied to LBC2HTX's topic in Going Up!
Just a run of the mill red brick apartment would have fit in really well and would have been timeless. As an unfortunate stucco owner this is seriously very dumb!- 362 replies

I saw the guts of the building half way demolished, parking structure, some old bricks, IMO not too much to be sad about, if Chevron actually does something with this block that would be cool. Don't really see why they would knock it down just to grow grass

Downtown Houston 2025 Master Plan
Chi-Char-Hou-Dal replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
I kind of feel you @downtownian - i know there are constant calls for a target downtown but having just survived a quick trip to the one on Sawyer, I think the days of the big box target store's are numbered. Picking up on your comment, an Amazon GO store where there is no checkout. I will start the calls for one of these to pop up! -

Drewery Place: Multifamily High-Rise At 2850 Fannin St.
Chi-Char-Hou-Dal replied to Urbannizer's topic in Midtown
There are some great old buildings still hiding out in Midtown on the East side of Main Street. Hopefully as the Aussie's tower goes up , they will be re purposed from urine stained sleeping sidewalks to more of what you have described. Great prose by the way. I feel like I was there!- 1,569 replies

2111 Austin: Multifamily At 2111 Austin St.
Chi-Char-Hou-Dal replied to skooljunkie's topic in Midtown
I think we can all agree anything but the two vacant blocks is a net positive for this side of Midtown. I struggle to accept why the GFR crowd needs it to be on the ground floor of every residential project. I get the allure , I get what kind of streetscape it provides but I don't know how you could look at this project, next to the bum infested greyhound station, a few blocks from the shadiest Mccidikkies in Houston and pronounce that it's a damn shame there is no GFR. I haven't ranted for a while , this feels good! I want @MarathonMan to pretend you are the developer, go spend an hour at the McDonald's parking lot, then picture those zombies all around your vacant GFR space two blocks East and you now know why the developer didn't decide to put the space in the first place. There is plenty of vacant and filled retail a few blocks East https://www.google.com/maps/place/2117+Chenevert+St,+Houston,+TX+77003/@29.7441786,-95.3648786,3a,75y,129.25h,90t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sme-XxYxsSCboEsMpAHMp5A!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!4m5!3m4!1s0x8640bf10d2829d87:0x210a015cef4f4004!8m2!3d29.7439049!4d-95.3645547 Free market economy, when the area demands it GFR will come or likely come next door in a strip mall of other form.- 284 replies

Pearl Marketplace At Midtown: Multifamily At 3120 Smith St.
Chi-Char-Hou-Dal replied to DrLan34's topic in Midtown
This one is getting very tall. It was tough to predict how big it would look because the lower floors blended and couldn't get a good count. I will send a pic from my driveway but this one is going to stand out big time in the neighborhood!- 550 replies

U-Haul Moving & Storage Expansion At 1617 San Jacinto St.
Chi-Char-Hou-Dal replied to Urbannizer's topic in Downtown
I guess this is the market naturally finding the best use of things. I was initally dismayed in my hood that a key block was going to become a strip center in Montrose, but then I have to remember it won't last forever, just no foresight. Very interesting!~- 105 replies

No pool ?? Ha they missed the mark on this one. For 2.0 mil you could grab a nice huge, better finished mansion with a big pool... They are nuts on this one. @jgriff @KinkaidAlum- 89 replies

The hotel was fine and hit a price point and was convenient for us being DT - there are a lot of great options now mostly I put them up at The Hilton America’s or JW on Main. Big swings in nightly rate makes it interesting. La Maison in midtown is also a wild card - have had a few bigger groups take over the whole place.

They basically said how dare you say we don’t care about history. The buildings are unsaveable and uninformed people like you can’t have an opinion because you don’t have any money involved. I responded I would send my 10 + groups of out of town guests for work for the year elsewhere downtown.

K A R M A is a delicate flower... I don’t like to equate my personal beliefs with wishing bad on a business. However, If you could have read their response when I sent them a heartfelt email telling them they will lose all my business...
