cspwal Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I do like how they tried to take advantage of the obnoxiously tall parking garage by putting common areas there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcal Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Was passing by on the light rail just before Christmas and the top of the clock tower was done. I'm not fully convinced yet. Looks a bit strange. Like an apartment complex with a clock tower stuck on the corner. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I really don't think these apartments are all that bad. It's nice to see infrastructure built to allow for good dense development. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the first plat I've seen that actually has Fulton Street now going past Leona Street. City must have secured the ROW. Hmmm... perhaps I am wrong.

I don't see any GFR and there is quite a lot of ground level parking... but there's still a lot of the site left for retail and/or office, and perhaps they're waiting for the beds to fill up before starting on those components? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's my thought. Between this and the apartments they're doing closer to the light rail station, I assume they're relying on the still-strong rental market to get the population density that would be a draw for retail tenents. They're down to only the two blocks between Leona and Burnett, though. That's about what, 14 acres? There's still a lot of retail opportunity in non-Hardy Yards property along Burnett. The old warehouse complex across Leona on Hardy is now for sale, I notice. Assuming CitiQuest doesn't snap it up for more townhomes like they've done half that area, that is! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinsanity02 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Some of those folks are going to have a great nighttime view of the skyline. Same for the apartments going up on the east side of 288. a little scotch, music, and great view. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinglyam Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 And it's all in the process of being developed. Going to get very busy there over the next couple of years. I saw surveyors out apparently laying out the garden-style apartment complex that's going up nearest the rail line, and I saw they've put out the bids to start the foundation work on the wrap next to the Residences. Plus someone apparently just put in a replat to turn all of those blue-ish sheet-metal warehouses I mentioned a few posts ago into yet more townhomes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Really hope we get the Fulton/San Jacinto connection sooner rather than later but chances are it won't happen until the I-45 project starts in this area. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcal Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Someone on /r/Houston posted about some construction has started at Hardy Yards this week. Quote I drive by this area every day, and I noticed last week they've chained off the area by the hardy yards apartments and they've broken ground. Does anyone know anything about what they're building there? I'm guessing it's the Red Line apartments that were platted earlier this year?

Is that actually going to happen? I just assume that anything that goes over or through a rail isn't going to happen unless there is big money involved, and that would be a city project unless it was rolled into NHHIP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Red Line, the wrap apartments that Urbannizer posted back in March. I'm with you on the Fulton Street connection. If they did it, it would probably have to be an at-grade crossing. It's not part of the I-45 project (which I hope somehow still gets killed), and I see no sign that the City is particularly interested in it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest plan I had seen from the city, because they needed to coordinate with TXDOT for the I-45 realignment, was to go below grade with the Fulton connection. It looked like it has a somewhat steep grade going down and up, similar to Navigation Blvd rising up/coming down under Commerce St. In the last meeting I attended, the issue that they faced was that Fulton would also travel below the northside (west bound) feeder so they were trying to figure out how they could have at-grade ramps going to and coming from the northside feeder over to Fulton with the ROW that is there. Based on the last meeting, this connection is definitely presenting some challenges. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like 3X wider than it is currently right there. Really gives some scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
