Triton Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 From Prime Property: The days are numbered for the homes in the Addicks Dam subdivision in the Energy Corridor. A Dallas investor has purchased 21 residential lots in the tiny neighborhood near the Katy Freeway and Eldridge for a multifamily redevelopment project, according Mark Kidd Sr. of M Kidd Properties. Blackhaw Partners, a subsidiary of JDMco and J. D. McCaslin & Co. of Dallas, recently completed the purchase of the lots which total about 10 acres, Kidd said. “This has been attempted at least three times in the past by other brokers and it just never worked,” said Kidd, who handled the transactions for most of the sellers. “To get 21 families (and some investors) to agree on a price and the timing was nothing short of a miracle.” Most of the homes in the Addicks Dam subdivision have been there since the early 1950s, and some of the sellers were original owners. Five of the lots have been cleared, and the rest have single-family homes that will be torn down. The lots are on Redhaw and Blackhaw Streets, north of Interstate 10. The site is north of the proposed extension of Park Row Boulevard near Eldridge. Kidd represented homeowners, families and investors over a 2 1/2-year period to assemble, market and close on the 21 transactions. ] http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/2014/06/tiny-energy-corridor-subdivision-to-be-redeveloped-as-multifamily-project/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminare Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Looks like a good opportunity to connect both sides of Dairy Ashford as well. Lets get more people on the ground! *edit: Dairy with Park Row Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Im kind of bummed about that neighborhood being razed. It's really very charming. Some really neat homes and fantastic Live Oak trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Allen Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Yes and no, IMO. Keep the oaks or replant them to suit the site, but like the homes that existed along I45 past Greenspoint toward The Woodlands, that I am assuming were built in the 70s and are slowly being razed for commercial or high density residential; Houston is about progress and redevelopment. So, to me, it stands to reason, low, mid and high-rise residential is the future of I10 between Memorial City and Katy. Of course, to accompany the commercial development. I for one would not like to live next to high rises which block out the sun, create wind tunnel disturbances, and create more traffic. UNLESS, I was in a highrise myself. ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Why not? Besides the topography (mainly pines & oaks), all we have to look at are high-rises.Agreed. Also, this neighborhood backs up to the dam and is right next to the Eldridge flood gate that actually has some good fishing. There's also hiking etc. Really neat place. Most don't know it's there.As far as the trees being saved? I doubt the street layout will allow many to be saved. There are some oaks that are at least 75 to 100 years old.

arche_757 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Why not? Besides the topography (mainly pines & oaks), all we have to look at are high-rises. I wouldn't want to live right next to one if in a single family home in a place like West U or the Boulevards, though if I lived in a higher density neighborhood like Downtown or Uptown, then I wouldn't mind at all. If the building was just 10 floors that might make things different, compared to say a 30 floor tower. I also think an office tower would be better than a condo, and a hotel would probably be the worst neighbor - aside from a concert venue or bar. I also think if the building had to be located on any particular side of my property I think West would be the best. Wouldn't block prevailing winds, would block out the summer sun which would greatly reduce your summer electric bills, and provide plenty of shade from 1pm on so outdoor activities in your yard would be quite pleasant.

TowerSpotter Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 is that at the old exxon site or w/e?Yes that would be the 35 acres of land. Seems like a good location and that area is seeing a lot of development Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortune Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 This article states that demolition will take place in September. It also says that it will be a mid-rise.However the purchaser may sell the property or change their plans to include office buildings as well.http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/blog/breaking-ground/2014/06/developer-may-flip-newly-purchased-prime-property.html?page=all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Dang.. It does say they could consider putting offices on the site as well, in which case I would think the office and residential would both have to be high rises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenjive Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 The Texas Historical Comission atlas website shows a cemetery at the end of Redhaw: Hillendahl-Eggling. I'm assuming the graves have been moved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
