c4smok Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I found this project after looking through Emporis located at http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=faulkn...-houston-tx-usa Found it in a bizjournal article also.. http://houston.bizjournals.com/houston/sto.../08/story2.html In addition, a limited liability company connected to Austin-based FaulknerUSA Inc. has taken title from Joseph DeBakey to a three-acre tract next to the 31-story Dominion apartment tower, near the Galleria Mall. The 2525 McCue site is home to the 43-year-old Marquee Apartments, which are currently being torn down. No renderings anywhere.. This might be listed under a differnt name, but if it is atleast somebody can update Emporis. If this is posted somewhere else plz move thanks =) Thanks, c4smok 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I happen to have driven by that site and was surprised to see a vacant lot there. I had asked a local resident if they knew what was going on and they were just in the dark as well. As far as I know, this is a project that has come out of no where if it is, in fact, true.

Saddleman Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Faulknerusa has built some ugly building (Austin Hilton and San Antonio Hyatt) lately. If they do do this one, I hope it's a better design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTAWACS Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Anyone know anything about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 i was told that the old marquee was torn down due to mold and then the land sold so that makes sense...they did place down a sprinkler system and now grass is covering the lot that is now surrounded by fencing. worse i hear my building just across the street was just sold this past month for 4 million and i will be asked to move soon looks like mccue will be high rise central soon enough but finding it hard to believe that all these places will be filled...

Sellanious Caesar Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) Dinerstein cracks Galleria area with first multifamily complex: Dinerstein’s third Millennium-branded apartment project in the Houston area will rise at 2525 McCue, on the north side of the Galleria. The 237-unit complex is adjacent to the site of a 380,000-square-foot office building under development by Redstone Cos http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/print-edition/2011/04/29/dinerstein-cracks-galleria-area-with.htmlhttp://www.bizjournals.com/houston/print-edition/2011/04/29/dinerstein-cracks-galleria-area-with.html Edited April 30, 2011 by Sellanious Caesar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golyadkin Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) It seems the site of the old Marquee Apartments on McCue right across Westheimer from the Galleria was sold. There's already a really basic idea of what's going to go up there: They are saying it's going to be a 237 unit apartment building. http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/print-edition/2011/04/29/dinerstein-cracks-galleria-area-with.html This is the same company responsible for Millenium Greenway, that new-ish apartment building that wraps around the Chevron station at Wesleyan and 59. The site is the one that backs up to the 2200 Post Oak site. Edited May 6, 2011 by Golyadkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 in the past week they have fenced up the site, broke ground and put up a new sign! this is finally happening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golyadkin Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I noticed them starting to clear the land about a week ago. I'm going to go out tomorrow and get some pictures of this and the 2200 Post Oak site adjacent to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTAWACS Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 These cookie cutter apartments are becoming just as ubiquitous as 24hr check cashing places and the strip malls in which they reside. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose1100 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 These cookie cutter apartments are becoming just as ubiquitous as 24hr check cashing places and the strip malls in which they reside. Ugh.I'd much prefer these apartments then a strip mall.If I lived in them, I could walk to everything I would ever need. The place I'm moving to only has a Target, Subway, & a Freebirds in walking distance, and it's in the loop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 in a semi related story, i used to live at 2320 mccue Carriage Square and a guy bought those and really fixed that place up and it looks amazing...he also purchased The Marquis next door and is now redoing those as well! Mccue is really shaping up! (I still live on mccue by the way...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golyadkin Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) The Marquee West needs a lot of work. The railings seem to be 2x4s nailed to the walls haphazardly. Edited September 14, 2011 by Golyadkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golyadkin Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Update: The site notice says they will be finished in April of 2013, while the big sign says Fall 2012. And the Marquee West continues to look like crap: I've got $20 that says that it's demolished within 5 years to make room for another one of these cookie cutter high end apartment places. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sellanious Caesar Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 By the renderings, I really like the design for these apartments. The color scheme on the exterior is my favorite part, oh and yeah its needed infill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plumber2 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 This is across the street from where the old McCue homestead was located. The McCue home was a single story wood structure with wide porches facing both Westheimer and McCue, and set back from the corner. There were large oak trees lining the property and the driveway, leading up to the house. Apartments had completely filled in both sides of the street by the middle of the 60's. (Mr. & Mrs. McCue were rewarded quite handsomely for their property) I love to interject my random historical comments to these types of threads, because I can, and the moderaters let me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 i wanted to add two things...1st, the old Marquee west is not called Marquee Uptown i believe but its looking fantastic as the new owner has completely remodeled all units, the lobby and pool area as well as the grounds in general...(this is also the owner of adjacent Carriage Square which he also updated and looks much better)2nd, the new parking structure(?) of 2525 mccue seems to be shoved almost directly next to the Dominion's infinity pool area...i wonder how that is being received haha!

Laura Charmaine Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Glad to see they're finally doing something at 2525 McCue! I used to live there until they kicked us out in 2007. I was almost heartbroken because the location and price was perfect for me! I wouldn't mind having my old address back, but surely it will cost 2-3x what I used to pay. Thanks for the update!!

gene Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 man this place is really coming along and looks to be finished any month now... but wow the units on the ground floor that ARE finished have teeny tiny living rooms and bedrooms...it will be interesting to see if that is the norm or if there are floor plans with larger rooms....
