slightly off topic:

tracy has announced his plans on the grammercy site. from nancy's article yesterday (can't post link, subscription only)

Medical Center changes

Areas around the Texas Medical Center are overflowing with apartments populated by workers and students who are often there for a short time.

But as inner-city land becomes scarcer, investors are starting to convert some of the apartments to condominiums.

Now a developer is skipping that process altogether and building a four-story condominium project.

Tree Top Development is building Gramercy Park Condominiums, a 224-unit complex at 2600 Gramercy, a block from the Kirby and Holcombe intersection.

Irvine Team, G.T. Leach Construction and Hoff Architects are also involved.

The complex will be built over a level of parking on just less than three acres.

Gramercy Park will have a Tuscan theme. Units will range from 780 square feet to 1,600 square feet.

Prices have not been determined yet.

The project is expected to break ground this fall.

Tree Top Development is led by Tracy Suttles, a local investor who has plans to build Shamrock Tower, a 32-story condominium tower in downtown Houston.

this is the site directly behind rice epicurean on holcome and kirby. he owns the land on both sides of grammercy. he's been shopping this site for at least two years.

FWIW and if y'all recall, one of the Principals told me several months ago they were anticipating an October groundbreaking.

Will it happen? I dunno.........

I thought those Kirby codos were suited for the Paige-Parks building closer to Westheimer.
