Mab Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/files/2015/03/SBB2-600x337.jpg Sullivan Brothers Builders plans to develop 25 three-story homes on the site is acquired near downtown from the Detering Co., the building supply that just sold the last of its landmark Washington Avenue property. The brick and cement board-sided homes have been designed to resemble ”the classic brownstones of other metropolitan cities like London, New York and Chicago,” sales director Karen Travelstead said in a statement. The gated project — Studemont Heights — is at 2900 Hicks at Studemont. Prices will start in the mid-$500,000s. Each house will have a least 2,200 square feet with three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms. Construction is set to start this month, with the first homes to be done this summer. The builder is also making progress on another nearby residential development that will have 51 homes when it’s completed. The company has sold five homes so far in the first phase of construction, which is under way and will include eight homes. The property is between Tulane and Ashland in The Heights on the former site of Semasys Printing Co. The homes are priced from the mid-$600,000s. http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/2015/03/heights-area-homes-planned-for-former-industrial-site/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTiger Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 They're already gated, empty, and overgrown in the rendering. Is Houston missing that soul-crushing blight found in older cities? Don't worry, developers will bring all those things to you...TODAY! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryDierker Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 The fence is a little unsightly, but at least they're not "front loaders" . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angostura Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 They look similar to these, which, as long as you're standing at an angle where you don't see the Hardiplank on the sides, aren't too bad. These will have a view of the freight rail out the back windows, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
