monarch Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 perfectly fabulous! however, at these prices, one would think that the parking could be a bit more significant. especially for luxury automobiles..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) The rendering makes it look like the location is off of Travis by those two small white office buildings and senior building (than the address given).It's kind of an odd design. Like the older cousin of that building at the northern intersection of I-45 @ I-10. Edited March 27, 2015 by Montrose1100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Is that the right address? Isn't this part of the future Regent Square? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxtethogrady Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Is that the right address? Isn't this part of the future Regent Square? I wondered about that myself, as it appears to be across the river from Georgetown, DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryDierker Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 At least there is some kind of reasoning behind the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Vik Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) The lady that lives there had some work done on it recently. Maybe it could be the apartments across the street but not that house the lot is too small 0.26 acres and it wouldn't make sense because she's balked at $800,000 offers in the past.

Angostura Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 1034 Rochow is 11,000 s.f., the building footprint will be something over 6800 (2 x 3400 s.f. per floor). The rendering looks to take up the whole lot. Rendering is very deceptive. The angle would be form the southeast, looking over Rochow toward the building. Not sure where that railing in the foreground would be. And, given the building is actually three blocks from the bayou, the units won't have bayou views. Certainly not from the balconies, which (for now) overlook the back of a pair of 1950's duplexes, with the Marshall's loading dock in the background.

I saw some workers there last week and stakes with flags so it all makes sense. I guess those workers were unpacking. Interesting because just last year she turned down $880,000 so she must have gotten $1,000,000 plus and redid the flooring as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwill Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Aww, that house and those trees are cute. Sad to see them go (potentially anyways) Not a big fan of the building as rendered but glad to see more condos coming to the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Is this low enough that you wouldn't want a first floor because of flooding possibilities?Considering the ground floor is parking, the 2nd floor should suffice. I don't know how the area looked during Tropical Storm Allison, but I think this area of town wasn't too badly damaged. If I can recall only places directly on the bayou, Downtown basements/parking, sunken freeways, and the TMC basement parking had severe flooding. I know there were areas outside of Houston close to creeks that suffered as well. If there was a storm that dumped enough water to do some damage on the second floor, this whole city would be in a lot of trouble. It would probably be one of the most deadly/costly natural disasters in the history of the country.

jgriff Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) That's a relief, as otherwise it would flood every other year. Exactly... I live a couple blocks over, same distance from the Bayou. I'm not required to get flood insurance but it only costs a few hundred a year so I got it. My previous home was well inside the 100 year and didn't flood in the 13 years I was there, including Allison.
