totheskies Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Midtown is definitely in a building boom. So glad to see!! Speaking of, does anyone have the scoop on a very fast construction at Louisiana and Hadley. My guess is a Taco Cabana, based on the store layout. I LOVE Taco Cabana!!!

CHiPs Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 The land across from Camden Travis is probably what you are referring to. I talked to one of the managers that works at Camden Travis and they are supposed to break ground in the fourth quarter. I have been told that it will be retail on the first floor and apartments on the next three floors.So I guess it's not going to be a park like some hoped it would.

brian0123 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 So I guess it's not going to be a park like some hoped it would. Not when Camden owns half the land. BUT... Midtown owns the other half... and their job is to build parks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about your change in view.I notice that the construction phase in the latest Google Maps satellite image almost matches your photo number 13.

DrLan34 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) Anyone have any details on the liklihood of Camden City Centre II moving forward this year? The presentation makes it sound like 2011 might be a likely year for the project to start.http://www.snl.com/C...&FID=1001157718 from March 14, 2011Slide 27______________Potential 2011 Development StartsCamden City Centre II - Houston, TX - 260 projected homes - 36 million projected cost______________Older news about the developments, I assume the other block they are talking about is the superblockhttp://blog.chron.co...llion-offering/ From a late April Press Release...nothing detailed yet but there are some projects in the pipeline, just don't know if Houston is one for sure or not."Development ActivityLease-up continued during the first quarter at Camden Ivy Hall, a $17 million joint venture community owned by the Fund which is currently 85% leased. Construction continued during the quarter on two wholly-owned development communities: Camden LaVina, a $61 million project in Orlando, FL; and Camden Summerfield II, a $32 million project in Landover, MD. Initial occupancy at these communities is scheduled for mid- to late 2011, with construction completions expected by early to mid-2012. In addition, the Company began construction during the first quarter on Camden Royal Oaks II, a $14 million project in Houston, TX scheduled for initial occupancy in late 2011 with construction completion expected in early to mid-2012. Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company began construction on three additional wholly-owned development communities comprising 978 apartment homes for a total cost of $141 million: Camden Montague in Tampa, FL, a $23 million project with 192 apartment homes; Camden Westchase in Tampa, FL, a $52 million project with 348 apartment homes; and Camden Town Square in Orlando, FL, a $66 million project with 438 apartment homes. In addition, Camden sold a land parcel in Washington, DC to the Fund for approximately $9.4 million subsequent to quarter-end, and the Company was reimbursed for previously written-off third party development costs, resulting in a gain of $4.7 million that will be recorded in the second quarter of 2011. Construction on this community - Camden South Capitol, an $88 million project with 276 apartment homes – also commenced subsequent to quarter-end. The Company has four additional development communities expected to begin construction later in 2011 or during 2012.
