lockmat Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Saw it this weekend. It's a lot bigger than I expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbaNerd Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 It can even be seen from 59! Did they add a couple of floors to it, or something?Oh, and what's that going up just to the left of it? Despite the economy, that area has a ton fo stuff going up atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 The website says it is supposed to be 6 stories on top of 2 stories of parking, so that's 8 in total, which seems about right.I was under the impression that the other block would be another similar building. Can anybody confirm that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totheskies Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I'm hoping that they reconsider the retail aspect sooner than later. We (being the church crowds in that area) lost our Subway to this project, so that would be an easy thing to plug in. Plus a little brunch place would surely see some major funds, and not just on the weekends. Keep in mind that every one of the large churches in the area has noon services a couple of times a week, and a full-time staff of at least 30-ish people. Add in the prospective residents of Venue and close proximity to the museum district station... sounds like a good recipe for retail.

kdog08 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I hope this project ends up looking like the rendering on the website: GrayCo. It doesn't look too flashy but seems to blend in well in my opinion looking at the rendering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jax Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Cool. I have noticed that the building is quite visible from the Museum District Metro Rail station pictured in the photo on the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Hizzy! Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 It seems most visible when viewing it from the north. It actually makes quite an impression on the Museum District skyline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesL Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 That rendering conveniently omits the low, ugly building next door along Fannin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
august948 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 That rendering conveniently omits the low, ugly building next door along Fannin.It also puts the rail right next to the building instead of across the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 ? The rail is right next to the building, and the ugly low building is part of a church or something I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
august948 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 ?

In the picture a few posts up the rail is separated from the building by a couple of lanes of roadway. The rendering shows the rail next to the sidewalk and the building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the west side of the building, the tracks are right next to it. On the east side, the tracks are separated by a couple lanes of roadway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 http://realtynewsreport.com/2018/08/30/hines-buying-museum-district-apartments-for-72-9-million/  HOUSTON – (Realty News Report) – Hines Global Income Trust has agreed to buy the 224-unit Venue Museum District apartments for $72.9 million or $325,400 per unit.  The seller of the property, 5353 Fannin, is Grayco Lui Museum District Investment. The seven-story community is 89 percent leased.  The deal, funded with $1.5 million in hard earnest money, is expected to close in September, Hines reported. The purchase includes an adjacent land parcel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Unfortunately, the adjacent parcel (to the north of the complex abutting Southmore) is only about 15,000 square feet. A physician owns the other 15,000 square foot parcel immediately to the east of the Hines parcel, which housed the Rehab Sports Bar. However, I believe that bar recently closed, so Hines might have an opening to acquire that lot to get 30,000+ square feet for development.
