cloud713 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Wait, seriously..?? Two 30 story towers on Allen Parkway linked to buffalo bayou park with a pedestrian bridge? Ugh.. I didn't even realize you could link developments to a public park like that. Why has no one else tried to do that before?My hope here is that Alliance had an even better plan than the 30 story towers, not some basic apartment wrap like they usually throw up. Have they ever done anything other than mid rise apartment complexes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Could have have been a 30 story office building, a 30 story residential high-rise, and retail. Thanks City ofHouston for another 5 story apartment building.http://houston.culturemap.com/news/real-estate/08-08-14-the-367000-question-why-did-the-city-reject-houston-developers-higher-bid-for-prime-allen-parkway-property/Ugh.. This could be the biggest blunder of this building cycle.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxtethogrady Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 That's fairly big. It would have to be more than mid-rise to fit all those units. Unless they're all small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose1100 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 That's fairly big. It would have to be more than mid-rise to fit all those units. Unless they're all small.I'll use Sawyer Heights for comparison. The Building's foot print is roughly half the size of the entire lot, and they have 326 units, including two outdoor courtyards, parking garage, and storage units. Pretty small units (studio size), to medium and big units. So, if they build on half the lot it could be a 10-14 story building. If they build on the entire lot it could be 4-7 floors. Just a rough guess. Although it would be cool to get something like this http://ny.curbed.com/places/625-west-57th-street. One can dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxtethogrady Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 One could hope they're putting 5 units of 3,000 square feet on each floor. Then this building would be almost as tall as the Burj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2015/06/10/city-sells-prime-piece-of-real-estate-near-buffalo.html Alliance Residential Co. purchased a 10.5-acre parcel — located at Gillette and West Dallas streets, just south of Allen Parkway — from the city of Houston for $39.9 million. The transaction closed April 27. At closing time, Alliance executed a back-to-back transaction, selling the northern 6 acres fronting Allen Parkway to a private investor, whose identity was not disclosed. Alliance has retained the southern 4.5 acres to develop a new Broadstone-branded luxury apartment project. Alliance plans to break ground on Broadstone Tinsley Park, a four-story, 395-unit apartment project, later this year in spite of the oil slump.

cloud713 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Lol that's what I was hoping too Fortune. I love his idea to connect the development to the park by a pedestrian bridge, and of course the 30 story buildings impact to help with what could become a future Buffalo Bayou high rise corridor.

urbanize713 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 It will be interesting when the development along W. Dallas begins connecting with the developement along W. Gray. That neighborhood in between must have its days numbered as it stands now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Yep. The whole area in between Main St, 59, Montrose, and Washington is poised to eventually be one of the densest residential areas of the city, if it's not already (obviously Gulfton takes the cake).

toxtethogrady Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 After hearing that the largest apartment complexes in the city are just north of Hobby Airport and have 1-2,000 units each, size doesn't matter anymore. So much more could have been done with this besides a 4-story wrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
