Website now says 2024.

So construction should be starting very soon.  Right?

So what do we know now?

LED lighting is more environment friendly, and cheaper to run and maintain. It also withstands storms better, especially with flying debris. If it were my building, neon wouldn't be on the table at all.

Yes, leave the neon for Dallas.

Houston should have the tallest residential tower in Texas and not Austin?  Can we got a 60 story residential tower?

Is this an affordable housing apartment complex?

They must be really confident they will get 50% sold by the end of next year.

This project might be DOA.

How close will this be to the Cosmo? I can't tell from this pic. Are they butt-cheek neighbors, or is there a small gap in-between?

 

We sold our home last year, and decided to go condo. In looking at all the choices, we were scared away from the Galleria area by the relative closeness of the buildings. We knew if a building didn't already have a next-door neighbor, it would in the next few years.

 

For example, we looked at the Wilshire, but knew something would be going up before long on the property due south. We looked at Astoria, same thing. It was challenging to find a mid-to-high-rise condo, in an area we liked, that wouldn't soon be smothered.

Try southern end of Galleria area.  The Bristol, 3525 Sage, The Mark or that ugly building where I can't recall the name that is between Rice Ave and Sage  by the CVS. 

I think this will better serve those people who work downtown but can't afford to live downtown.

Wow, what a terrible location .... noise, maximum auto exhaust and limited shopping nearby . What more could one want in senior housing?

At least it is close to the Texas Medical Center.

It doesn't indicate senior housing though.  But with units only being 1 and 2 bedrooms then most will probably be senior citizens anyway and working class people who don't make much for luxury apt rents.

What is Houston lacking to make it a tourist destination?  From my perspective the things that are the biggest draw for tourist areas Houston will never have.  We don't have the right geography, historical pedigree, or cultural significance that other tourist dominated destinations have.  Houston should focus on it's strengths which are food, museum district, and performing arts.  I did see Mayor Turner mention bringing an amusement park to Houston on Twitter.

Astroworld 2.0!!  He said announcement in 6-8 weeks!  Back to Caydon.  So are there renderings of other phases yet?

Please be 50 plus stories!

That's a dumb place to put a medical school. Separated from the main campus AND the TMC. Turning its back on resources that is existing already and could attract great students!

 

 

Don't forget HBU!

Not really.  It the perfect location for the Med School due to proximity from TMC and it will serve the 3rd Ward community so that location is easily accessible.

Finally a more significant update, listed as "coming 2021" on their website.

 

https://www.fairfieldresidential.com/new-developments/

It states estimated opening is 2021.  So construction should start soon perhaps.

When is the start date?  Imagine if TAMU proceeds with their proposed towers.  Visitors will be more confused about where downtown is located. 😁

Maybe not so baby... if it gets built, then it looks like it would be a 12 story podium with ~40 floors above. That could make it comparable to 609 main in height. IF the one on the right got built as shown, it would be edging into supertall territory.

 

I don’t know anything about this project, and don’t know how much those models accurately reflect what TAMU has planned for the site. 

If TAMU is involved then I'm sure it will come to fruition.  

Houston has so many pockets of entertainment with more coming.  Now if they can get some mixed used development near NRG...sorry about going off topic. 😁
