Subdude Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014  By the way, is this thread spelt incorrectly? "Hamliton"? Good catch.  Changed to "Hamilton".  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badfish Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 As someone indicated previously, LIHTC's were applied for previously, but not awarded. Â Developer decided to move forward as a market rate deal, and the apartments will not be income restricted in any way. Â It's been a while since I saw any numbers, but I think rents will be in the $1.75-$2.00/SF range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtterlyUrban Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I think rents will be in the $1.75-$2.00/SF range.Holy cow!$2? 800sqft for $1600 with a freeway as your closest neighbor? Wow.What the hell are rents in midtown these days? No freeway there and only a mile away. Are rents in midtown above $2? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxtethogrady Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Plenty of lots being cleared off. The developers seem to like digging holes.

phillip_white Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 It's been a mini lake the last couple times I've driven by. It might be a few more days until they can get back in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxtethogrady Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 The Hamilton was the subject of an urban blogger's post, picked up by Swamplot. He makes some valid points; neartown Houston, pricewise, is not family friendly. It isn't really affordable for many folks. Affordable housing needs to be incentivized. http://www.cdandrews.com/2014/10/downtown-houston-families-and.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014  Under construction:A 148-unit apartment building on the southeast corner of downtown, bounded by St. Joseph, Chenevert, Pierce and Hamilton. http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2014/10/29/14-residential-projects-on-tap-for-downtown.html Least we have some more "official" acknowledgement.

ClutchCity Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Some more information about the project from Central Houston's latest Downtown Real Estate Update as well. It appears that this complex is not taking DLI Incentive money. It's good to see downtown residential development starting to stand on its own. The Hamilton's 148 units, combined with Fingers Ballpark's 397 units, means that downtown has 545 units currently under construction that aren't taking away from the incentive programs 5,000 unit cap! Let the good times keep coming for downtown! http://www.downtownhouston.org/site_media/uploads/attachments/2014-10-28/Downtown_Real_Estate_Update_2014-3Q.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminare Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Is it really to much to ask for renderings or at least elevations of this thing -.- The fact that we don't know the architect, nor have we seen what this thing will look like has me worried.

Luminare Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 definitely the most disappointing one of the bunch and I think it only got approval because this is right next to the highway....what a bummer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Looks fine to me actually. Looks like an affordable apartment complex for the downtown area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminare Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) It's literally a copy of the Dolce Apartments that are going up on Gray St. That shouldn't be something that is in Downtown. It might be affordable yes, but that's only because of it's proximity to the highway. Edited November 13, 2014 by Luminare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asubrt Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 definitely the most disappointing one of the bunch and I think it only got approval because this is right next to the highway....what a bummer. If I remember correctly this one isn't using the incentive, and it's on a block that I didn't think would see development for a long time, so I'm not too upset about it. Plus if it encourages additional development nearby then it's a real winner, even with a mediocre design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Not bad at all. Let the densification of the southeast portions of Downtown commence! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
