Nole23 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Good news. I'm glad this is going in East Midtown to help revitalize the area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfastx Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Nice. Hopefully even more of this infill development starts popping up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian0123 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 This was supposed to be a new green office complex. I had heard the company was looking at building something else instead (I guess they did). It will be nice to have more residents on my side of Midtown. The location is awesome (couple minutes on bike to Discovery Green/Toyota Center/Houston Pavilions/etc.)Where did you find these renderings? I'd love to get more info about this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Wasn't this the location of proposed medical offices a few years back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chi-Char-Hou-Dal Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 This is great - those 2 empty blocks need to get filled up! Renderings look great, skooljunkie any word on Construction start estimates? With more new developement on this side of midtown - maybe will squeeze Central Square/Greyhound and all of its ambience out.I am assuming moving the Greyhound station North of Town is dead? I think I remember the city putting the kubosh on the Transit center North of DT.With so many condos on that side of Midtown - I think the area is primed for a bar. Residents have to go East to Celtic Gardens. I think a bar over there would do well maybe closer to Baldwin Park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skooljunkie Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 There is a variance request for the site. Signs are posted, and it should be on the next Planning Commission agenda. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 For some reason, this is what I expect this to be put somewhere on this complex, but I'm willing to bet SOMEONE will paint this on there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLan34 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 this variance has been approved. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolie Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 this variance has been approved. Sounds great! Been waiting a while for development to pick up again in East Midtown... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLan34 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 interesting blog about the property.http://milhausdevelopment.com/blogs/blog/2012/2/19/mixed-use-development-or-not-in-midtown-houston"In order to complement what the Midtown Redevelopment Authority is planning in the area, we designed the first floor of the building along Gray Avenue, between Austin and La Branch to be built to hold commercial tenants if the demand is ever warranted. Until then, we will locate all of the building’s leasing and club rooms/amenity areas along the street front. It’s not retail, but it will help create a pedestrian experience along Gray Avenue." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLan34 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I contacted Milhaus to see when this would start. This is the response:"Thank you for your interest. We're still working through the process. No set date yet. Keep your eyes out for another Milhaus project in the neighborhood coming soon, too." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestGrayGuy Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I think this is great. East midtown (East of Main) is still a bit rough but with projects like this, I am sure it will transform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nole23 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Good news. I was driving down Fannin through Midtown going to Hermann Park and there's so much potential for redevelopment in east Midtown. I'm sure it'll catch on in the near future, especially after the superblock park and retail gets developed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photohunts Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 hobo alley behind the bimmer dealership in the adjacent block from this development has been empty for the past few weeks now. glad that area is getting cleaned up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownMan Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I noticed that too. Austin street is clear. However, at least half just moved down to La Branch and Crawford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samagon Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I think this is great. East midtown (East of Main) is still a bit rough but with projects like this, I am sure it will transform.I wonder if they will start calling the area EaMi???On a more serious note, I noticed that there's a lot less people sleeping under the Pierce Elevated at Crawford as well. Maybe they saw the variance request and decided it was time to head down the road a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though that's assuming they can read.13 Celsius as well, but that's not exactly the same atmosphere as Leon's or the Celtic Gardens, Geographically, I think the Maple Leaf is closer to Baldwin Park than Celtic Gardens as well, and is similar ambiance. I wouldn't assume they don't know how to read, the ones that stand on corners with their cardboard signs should know how to read (since they at least know how to write).

The owners of that place (Ian Rosenberg & Mike Sammons) are opening this area of Midtown's newest spot, "Mongoose vs. Cobra," at 1011 McGowen, directly across the street from Leon's Lounge.
