HoustonMidtown Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Most of the parking lot - across the street from the Star of Hope Women and Family Shelter, bounded by Preston/Dowling/Prairie/Bastrop - has been fenced off with chain link fence covered in canvas - like contractors use - any ideas what is going on ?

ryrohtx Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 The permits online has the description of the permit as "New Office Bldg". The permit has not been approved. HCAD has the owners as People Trust Federal Credit Union. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jt16 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 People working on the east of downtown will provide a little more to the area. It's not huge, but this is a fairly big step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonMidtown Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Is there a way for me to change the topic title to People Trust Federal Credit Union? Edited July 1, 2015 by HoustonMidtown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mab Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Construction will begin next month on the new corporate headquarters of People’s Trust Federal Credit Union to the east of downtown. A groundbreaking ceremony will be held July 21 at 413 Bastrop, a site near BBVA Compass Stadium. The new building will have 26,000 square feet with a member lounge, two outdoor ATMs and a coffee and refreshment bar. There will also be a large multipurpose room for special events. “The new location will provide members with a modern and exciting service experience, as well as an opportunity for People’s Trust to support the growing populations of EaDo and East End communities with traditional financial service offerings,” said president and chief executive officer Angela McCathran, in a statement. Previously, the credit union leased a space in Two Shell Plaza in downtown. Company officials say owning its own facility will protect the credit union against the rising lease rates of downtown and offer free parking. http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/2015/07/peoples-trust-to-move-hq-from-downtown-to-eado/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/2015/07/peoples-trust-to-move-hq-from-downtown-to-eado/ Haha... Was just about to press submit. Hopefully with this block shut off, it will reduce the amount of homeless sleeping here on the sidewalks. We need to get these people homes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exterior now has brick in a similar color to its next door neighbor. Minor change but blends in a bit better IMO. Sorry no pics, spotted on train ride in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
