The biggest question is how are they going to do this? Do they now own all the lots on these three blocks? (Doubtful). Are they going to do this one lot at a time? HCAD is down at the moment, otherwise I'd check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) I think the key word on the Instagram page might be "concept." According to HCAD, the owners of 1711 Indiana appear to own nothing else on Indiana Street, or, for that matter anywhere inside the Beltway (they own another property (a house) somewhere outside the Beltway).

jgriff Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Getting control of three blocks full of residential in this location would be quite the feat and also very expensive. Using the word “metonymically” in promotional materials makes me take them less seriously. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angostura Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Yeah, calling BS on this. Those three blocks are mostly SF homes and individually owned THs (also a school), none of which have been acquired. I think this is exactly what it says it is, a concept. Also, the concept shows a zero-foot building line, which, good luck with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatguysly Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Yeah I don't see that happening. There is the Montessori (that just completed a major expansion), a daycare, and many new town homes built in the last three years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcal Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Wait.... Glass Cypress sells $160 screen printed tshirts?!?!? https://www.glasscypress.com/shop/ I'm not sure what's more farfetched. Their business model or thinking that they can buy all of the real estate on that block of Indiana. Wilson Montessori is a recently renovated Houston ISD magnet K-8 school. Good luck buying that, too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck buying that, too! you might be shocked by the price, but I was talking about screen printed tees with people that either work in shops and one friend that is associated with Petty Cash, and they can fetch a high price due to the low supply one creates when they produce actual screen prints. Depending on what gets put on the T itself that could push the amount further because if its a cool design then people will want a screen printed version because it lasts longer and fades better than T's which are mass produced and at low quality.

Urbannizer Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 There were plans to renovate 4221 N Freeway into "Megacenter Heights". The building has been vacant since at least 2011.

zaphod Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I hate to say it, because it's negatively affecting the surrounding community to lose businesses and property, but then OTOH I would think being bought out by TXDOT and hopefully getting a nice bucket of cash from them might be the best outcome. So many abandoned or decaying buildings and strip clubs and dubious motels will be wiped out and I don't think many will actually miss it.
