fkp5 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Very nice. I'm glad downtown is finally getting condos. These will have excellent views! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonMidtown Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) Surge Homes is the same group with the "controversial" condos/townhomes going up near the Heights bike trail They are apparently the same builder (Inner Loop Condos) that did condos in Midtown and River Oaks.

houstontexasjack Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I like it! The area around the ballpark will be quite nice in a few years. At some point, Downtown will require a proper grocery store to support the residential units (Phoenicia is cool, but doesn't get the job done with respect to more traditional items). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdude Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 So condos are creeping downtown after all! The design is nicer than most of the multi-family units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downtownian Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Hard to tell but it looks like the ground floor is parking garage. I'm curious if the project will try to qualify for the Downtown Living Initiative subsidies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose1100 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Hard to tell but it looks like the ground floor is parking garage. I'm curious if the project will try to qualify for the Downtown Living Initiative subsidies. It certainly looks like 2 floors of parking. I mean, The only place the could fit anything other than parking would be on Ruiz. Which is where I assume the garage entrance, leasing office, and street entrance would be.

Texasota Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 That parking podium is pretty bad, but considering the location that's probably ok. I would like to see what the Ruiz side looks like though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonMidtown Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Just drove by the site - they already have a "Surge" sign up on the property 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Purify Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 This is amazing for that area. I didn't realize how much space is available for a park, either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 The parking podium doesn't bother me too much because I'd imagine that area floods quite easily. Would love to see a picture from that vicinity after TS Allison. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Kinkaid alumWe lived in the wagon works/PPG building during that storm and believe it or not the parking lot never had any water in it.I walked over to check on the bayou because I was really worried about the car. Nothing.We were on the top floor and the flat roof became a storage tank and water came pouring down out brick wall.We were asleep, and didn't know it was coming in until our neighbor below came up to complain about water leaking through to his. Obviously it was quite a surprise. Concrete floors and we mopped up water for quite a while. The bayou did not leave its bank in that spot miraculously. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Isn't the current park in that area basically a homeless camp? I'm just taking other people's word on that, I don't know for sure.. It's great to see this part of downtown start to develop though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminare Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Fix the parking podium and then it might...might be alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Its straddled between the Elysian viaduct and an off ramp from 59... Not exactly the best place for much ground floor street interaction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxtethogrady Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Surge Homes is the same group with the "controversial" condos/townhomes going up near the Heights bike trail They are apparently the same builder (Inner Loop Condos) that did condos in Midtown and River Oaks. Swamplot says the sign's down after having gone up. Apparently the placement is being modified to make the sign less of an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surge Homes Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 @UtterlyUrban, yes this is a real project. @Howard Huge, yes this site is the old Loomis armored truck facility.@j_cuevas713. A start date has not been announced yet. We are still accessing the interest level on our website, www.surgehomes.com. @toxtehogrady. Our sign was mistakenly placed in the right of way of the Heights bike trail and we removed it as soon as we were alerted of this mistake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
