They should add some pizzazz to this building to spice it up a little, especially since it’s on a residential block. It’s looking very drab.

Slowest renovation ever.

I messaged them on Instagram. They said they’re planning to open “early 2023”.

I feel bad for the folks that live next door to this.

Would be cool to see a mural on the grey side facing Woodrow Street.

I feel like the elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about is that this piece of land is SO MUCH more desirable today than it was in 1983 when Covenant House moved in. Count me as surprised that they’re staying in the neighborhood. I’m all for their mission, but feel like their money could have been better spent by selling their land in Montrose and building an even bigger facility in a lower ppsf land value area of Houston.

A few weeks ago, Navy Blue announced on Instagram a possible November opening. Navy Blue is Gulf Coast seafood restaurant opening in Rice Village at 2445 Times Boulevard.


"From your friends Aaron Bludorn, Cherif Mbodji, and Victoria Bludorn, with the spirit of Texas Gulf Coast. Navy Blue coming this November."

This place is going to be fantastic. Can’t wait!

ARCHITECT:

Gensler

 

INFORMATION:

4-story 104,491 SF building that will include 60 shelter units on levels 3 and 4.  The project also includes commercial grade food preparation, dish washing and serving facilities.

Don't let the renderings fool you, there is not an outdoor terrace.  That's actually just going to be a roof with screened in mechanical equipment on top.

 

This shelter looks nicer than most Montrose apartments.

That's a shame. An equinox in this or general location would do wonders. The one in ROD is at the corner of traffic and rush hour. So many people want to join but hate the location (that live in Montrose/Midtown).

I’m an Equinox member and live in Montrose. My commute during evening rush hour is usually 15 minutes there, 10 minutes to get back.

Covid hit them hard. 

More so than other gyms?

Do we have any renderings?

I still for the life of me can’t understand why they’re only building a 6-story building in an area that’s building highrises all over. 

This location is arguably the best location in the entire city to get to desirable parts of the city very quickly.

It’s also in a fun neighborhood. 

I think it’ll do well.

Can someone paste the full article? Paywalled.

Newest render on the Arch-Con website.

Is that only a leasing center or will it also have ground floor retail?

This was the former location of Nielsen's Delicatessen in the early 80s, before they relocated to the current location on Richmond. I don't recall if anything else occupied it after Nielsen's before Kam's opened.

I had no idea. Do any photos exist?

Aren't one of the lots immediately next door to this being cleared?

Storage unit going up across the street.

It’s been a set of “urban loft home” and Nippon Sushi, which is still very much in business.

Sign posted today on front door.

My two cents: vacant lots, vacant buildings, and general lack of human presence causes a lot of this activity. The number of vacant spaces in this area is very high at this moment in time compared to just 3-4 years ago.

Spot on.

haha i know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is crazy to see the old plaza and kroger lot just sitting there empty...i know it takes time to do things but good grief!!!

 

It’s funny because I have a family member that just moved to Houston from out of state. He’s house hunting within the loop. I tried to sell him on Montrose (my top choice), but it’s hard to get him excited about it when it currently looks so blah. He decided to buy elsewhere.

Really wish they would just knock it all down and start over!

Crew is doing work inside the old convenience store and dry cleaners building next to Stuff'd.

Hallelujah! I almost got mugged at that gas station while filling up once. Do we know what it’ll be?

Is this the Chinese restaurant with a Coming Soon sign or something else?

Heard from a friend who has info, said they had to pause due to a delay with the glass arriving. Typical supply chain issues. 

That’s more of a pause than a building throwing in the towel and quitting.
