houstontexasjack Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Now that the Inner Loop section of 59 has been rechristened as I-69 as well, I am waiting for one of these projects to take advantage of a double entendre as a name. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucleareaction Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Project is plugging along. They did a pour this Saturday with 3-4 cement trucks, and the side facing Graustark is up to the 2nd/3rd level already. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 The only problem I see with this project is the fact that there is already a 2-300 unit apartment building just completed one block north on Graustark and Richmond. Now you're adding another 2-300 units here and all you have for engress- egress is a very narrow two way street (Graustark), that already clogs at Richmond during rush hour. When The Black Hole's busy and cars are parked on Graustark in front you can't get two cars to pass. The lanes are very narrow. I realize there is another exit into the neighborhood but thats a lot of cars. Thats why the rail would be so perfect on Richmond especially since they have built several thousand new units on or within a block of Richmond from 59 out to Greenway Plaza. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castle Court isn't terrible as a street to drive on, but the same issue exists that you are still spilling onto the backed-up part of Richmond. And it also has cars parked up and down it throughout the day. Perhaps ultimately it will push traffic across the bridge to Montrose or Bissonnet? Agreed on the rail part, I wish Culberson weren't so rooted into his seat. Maybe we could live in the 21st centry... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 There's not much news regarding this project besides what's here, but seeing how this is mostly tucked in behind the homes, structures on Castle Ct, Grastaurk St. earlier today, I now understand how it's moving forward so quietly. I wonder if the idea of pursuing those properties for better access was ever pitched around. Will be an unique addition to the Castle Court neighborhood. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
