The Carter: Multifamily At 4 Chelsea Blvd.

It won't be "by itself"..

We will see

[Dakota79]

I was looking on my phone, so I thought that was the pool on top of the garage. Once I enlarged the photo, I see my mistake. But really the placenta on the southeast corner is no better. People love the rooftop pools. (On top of the garages). The Spires pool is down low and it's depressing.

Good grief, autocorrect wrote placenta when I wanted to say placement. Forgive me.

[cloud713]

We will see

coming from the west, yes, it will be one of the first things you see when you emerge from the trench.. but from the east you can see the other highrises in the museum district (and soon to be Montrose).

If autocorrect wrote the wrong word, why wouldn't you just fix it without pointing it out and asking for forgiveness all in the same post?  

 

Doesn't make sense.

Houstonians need to stop judging architecture via drive bys.

What are you talking about? I was just pointing out that I guess he's right to an extent, if you were coming from the west this project would be the first thing you see coming out of the trench.. But so what?

I have no idea what I am taking about.

That's why I said we will have to wait and see.

I certainly love the building. Dunno yet if I like where it will be plopped

Ahh, I see.. And I agree with the last statements.

[bobruss]

It is in an out of the way spot, but if someone is willing to develop that tract more power to them.

 

[Triton]

How is it out of the way? It's the perfect middle ground between Main and Montrose.

Simple. It's a conspiracy.

The 20 story Chelsea-Montrose project will include 305 apartment homes and over 15,000 SF of high end amenity space. Apartment homes will range in size from 720 SF one bedrooms to 2807 SF Penthouses (Townhomes). Construction is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2014 with the first apartment homes being available in the spring of 2016.

Is the house gone yet? We should start seeing some activity soon if this is true

[Urbannizer]

Anything going on here? A few months ago I was told demolition would begin in February or March.

Rode by the other day. If it's some sort of old house that's being torn down for this, then we are all systems go. They are gutting the inside at the moment.

[rsb320]

That house used to be the home of the Houston Women's Center.

[Triton]

Looks like this may have begun:

Check out the Chelsea demolitions.

[Nucleareaction]

I can confirm that the house is completely down, and the lot is now ready for whatever comes next.

[cityliving]

I heard that the Chelsea Market will also be demolished to make way for another high rise tower in a couple of years.

aced with a new 20-story, luxury apartment tower coming to their neighborhood, about 40 residents who are part of the Museum Area Municipal Association met last week with representatives of developer StreetLights Residential (SLR) in hopes they can work together on traffic congestion and other concerns.

Site preparation for the Chelsea Montrose high-rise is under way at 4 Chelsea. Construction is expected to begin in within a month and will take about 20 months to complete. SLR’s Michael Goodwin and Greg Nadeau said they are negotiating a lease for off-site parking to be used by the building contractor. The staging area for materials delivery will be on site, they said.

“We want to be a good neighbor and reach out to you all,” said Goodwin.

The developers are planning to preserve as many mature trees as possible on the site and in the median, which will be altered to allow for left turns to a front drop-off area.

About 60 percent of the apartments will be one-bedroom. The average unit will have 1,100 square feet and rent for $2.60 per square foot. The upper floors will include larger penthouses up to 2,800 square feet.

Residents are dreading the noise and traffic that will come with the construction phase, but they are incredulous that the city of Houston has made no demands to help handle the anticipated increase in traffic from 305 new apartment homes. The project’s Traffic Impact Analysis indicates an additional 160 trips in both the mornings and evenings compared to the previous office and retail uses on the site. And in a Q&A with MAMA President Allen Ueckert, Goodwin responded, “The city will not entertain a traffic signal being placed at the intersection of Chelsea and Montrose.”

I would love to be you, Urbannizer.

[monarch]

youza!  this edifice, look's like it shall cost a fortune to live there.  simply gorgeous.

[Dakota79]

Wow. That is gorgeous. Do you think it'll block the downtown views from the Museum Tower? Kind of looks like it.

It'll likely be finished before the crane is up at the famous Ashby Tower of Terror.

Well we still need a replacement for Astroworld .>.>

 

Where are da tickets!

I'd take something being built on the Astroworld site. Turn the Astrodome into a convention space and add a big hotel to support it.

Getting back to topic, this complex looks excellent.

[houstontexasjack]

Aaaaand I just realized Luminare's comment might have been in reference to the 'Tower of Terror' as a ride, lol.

Maybe I'm just too hopeful that site will be redeveloped into something more than a parking lot for the Rodeo.

I really like the design. It will fit in nicely with it's neighbor high rises (If it's visible from Hermann Park).

[arche_757]

I've long thought this immediate area was ripe for some more of these buildings.  The proximity to Montrose and the Museum District cannot be ignored.  Though to be honest I almost wish some more of these would crop up along the north and east sides of Herman Park.

[Naviguessor]

This will make an entertaining focal point heading south on spur 527.
