Htowngirl Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I've been curious about that too.It looks like a several story building of some sort. There's no roof yet (spanish tile or otherwise), just a really tall steel structure. I think it's too small to be condos. Maybe an office building?

abs1nthe Posted September 16, 2004 Author Share Posted September 16, 2004 The steel structure is going to be a condo unit. I think I read that it's called a "midrise" condo. The lot I'm curious about is a few dozen yards just north of the steel structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firstngoal Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 The art gallery is going up between Richmond and Highway 59 - east side of the street (just south of Aries/Zimm's/etc...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidtownCoog Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 West Clay is correct. West Grey is a couple of blocks North.Right next to the West Clay Carwash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abs1nthe Posted September 20, 2004 Author Share Posted September 20, 2004 Wow, great artist rendering of the condo unit. I guess what I'm asking about is a few dozen feet north of that structure... Anyone with info on that project? They've moved dirt, but haven't put up any structural elements yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYC Texan3 Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Has anyone happened to notice the 8-10 story condos going up on the east side of Montrose at West Gray (a couple blocks north of Dallas)? I haven't seen any postings about it, but there are several things to like: 1. Location is appropriate, since it is a midrise on a major street2. Extends dense housing north almost to Allen Parkway3. The front is close to the street (even if the parking extends all the way to the back of the block)It is not remarkable looking, but it is a great building block (pardon the pun). It should attract a much more conservative buyer than some of the other crazy stuff that has gone up in Montrose. This is the kind of buidling design I have imagine for West Gray between Shepherd and Dunlavy. It has a lot of shopping, which I think would be really attractive to insert some dense housing into. It is actually kind of strange that no one has tried . . . other than Randall Davis, but I think he missed the market, which should be River Oaks residents who want to get rid of their yards. With just a few buildings among the shops, it would be a very interesting, 24-hour area . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjb434 Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 I love this building. It is simple and not trying to hard to stand out. It currently stands out because of its size, but if more mid-rises are build it will be part of the crown and not lonely.It is "part of building block."The contruction progressed rather quickly.

Lowbrow Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 One Montrose Place is what you are talking about I think. It's a UrbanLiving property. $274k - $700k LINK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YakuzaIce Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Just wondering does the other side seem to have a different coloring? I still think it looks good but the coloring is very different than the rendering. But still it is always good to get more buildings like this.

Dream Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 the more i look at this building the less i like what i see. i feel underwhelmed, if thats a word. its just so neutral and conservative, for me thats just not montrose blvd. it could of been so much more. beige blight?i noticed a big for sale or rent by owner banner up on a balcony today, that also adds to the bad vibe im starting to get from this new construction. dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston1stWordOnTheMoon Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I think the interior is nice, but the ball was dropped with the exterior design. I would like to see more glass exteriors on residential, buildings sort of the type of development that occurs in Dubai. That would help us to live up to the "Space City" name :):):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of like the lemons painted on a condo window not far from there. Look at it now. I hope this banner is no indication of things to come.

Guest KCOUCH Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Does anyone have any idea about the new condos going in next to sherwin williams on Montrose? I'm curious as to how the building will affects the already horrible parking in the area. All guests at One Montrose pretty much have to park on that back street. Another building is just going to make it even crazier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumapayam Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 What makes you think that they will not have a parking garage in the lower levels of the condo?Think of the Cailais off Elign and Bagby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicman Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 This is an example of why the City requires onsite parking. Personally think it would be bad to live in a place where you couldn't invite 4 or 5 people over without having to worry about parking. I'm sure a Midtown advocate will chime in.What makes you think that they will not have a parking garage in the lower levels of the condo?He is saying there IS parking in the condo, but visitors to the condo have to park on the next block.The new condo will make the parking situation worse most likely.

jscarbor Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I really like the development. If people ave to park down the street they have to park? Isn't that what they do in Chicago, NY, DC, Philly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
