  1. "The bar has been raised for green spaces in Houston. Discovery Green, Buffalo Bayou Parks and Memorial Park have all been expanded or improved. Now Hermann Park will soon reveal a $52 million project that includes an innovative play area. Behind a tall fence that runs along Fannin and Cambridge streets, dozens of workers, earth-moving machines and horticulturists are working on the newest improvement to one of Houston’s marquee parks: the 26-acre Hermann Commons at Hermann Park. Work has been underway for a year now, and portions of the project are taking shape, as 12-foot concrete sidewalks have been poured and trees and plants have been put in place at the Fannin entrance across from the Memorial Hermann Professional Building." https://www.houstonchronicle.com/lifestyle/home-design/article/hermann-park-s-52-million-project-17836815.php#photo-23576343 Architect - https://www.marlonblackwell.com
  2. Lumber is being unloaded at the lay down yard across the street. Work has started on the mock up.
  3. Demolition of the buildings on both blocks should be starting soon. All the buildings now have a construction fencing around them except for 1 building. I once talked with the owner who said he didn't sell but was exploring possibly selling it. H&M Plumbing is still on site doing plumbing demo. There were workers on site from the demolition company but didn't see what company it was. This is the one building that supposedly wasn't part of the deal. I just can't see him not selling it. Maybe he wasn't offered enough and is holding out for more.
  4. Too bad there isn't a light rail stop close by. Students at UH and TSU will have to walk to the housing and to the Food Truck Park if they don't have transportation.
  5. Since the author can no longer edit their own post: Edit: - The 4 buildings they don't own are on the southwestern corner.
  6. Elro Pizza + Crudo Chef/owner Terrence Gallivan, a two-time James Beard Award nominee (Charlie Palmer’s Aureole in New York City, The Modern, Gordon Ramsey at the London Hotel, Fiamma and Houston’s Pass and Provision) is opening Elro, a neighborhood pizzeria and crudo bar housed in a vintage bungalow. https://www.papercitymag.com/restaurants/houston-restaurants-new-makiin-pastore-katami/?city=Houston
  7. Plumbing demo has been done. If you look at the Plat that was passed I posted on the other topic, it was for both apartment properties and these will both be the part of the same project.
  8. These apartments consist of 3/4 of the block. The northwestern portion is boarded up, the southern and western portion still seem to be lived in. I'm willing to bet these will be demolished sometime in the future. Probably waiting out the leases on the remaining units. They are in very rough shape. Looked at HCAD to see who owns them. A company called "Montrose Multifamily Members III LLC" owns these. They are part of larger group of older apartments in Montrose owned by Montrose Multifamily Holdings CBJMInvestments. https://montroseholdings.cbmjinvestments.com Google Map's images. 4 buildings on the southeastern corner they don't own.
  9. Disconnect of the plumbing is done. I bet we will see the building demo permits happening next and probably some soil remediation.
  10. I still think it might be temporarily leased by EE Reed the GC who is building the Holiday Inn Express hotel across the street for their lay down yard and trailers. Then the Cambria Hotel could lease it to use for their customers.
