danes75 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I've checked a little bit and Raiders Lofts is owned by a guy named Michael Raider in Colorado Springs... the Planning and Development Services Division hasn't recieved any new building permit paperwork for that address in 9 months... if I'm not mistaken, about the time it was sold.

sevfiv Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 hmm...he owns LandCo, but i couldn't find any association between michael raider and houston except this excerpt from the summer:PROPOSED PARK BRINGS PROPOSED HIGH-RISEHOUSTON, Texas (HoustonChronicle.com) – LandCo has purchased a block near a proposed city park on the eastern edge of downtown on which it plans to build a high-rise residential tower. This is the first proposed project near the 12-acre park. The block is bordered by LaBranch, Crawford, Rusk and Walker Streets and is near the George R. Brown Convention Center. Plans for the residential development are tentative, and construction will not begin for three years. It could include two residential towers with both apartments and condos and 50,000 square feet of retail on the ground floor.The proposed $81 million park was one of the main reasons LandCo bought the block, according to Michael Raider, chief operating officer.

Houston19514 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Does anyone know the status of the Reparian or has that project been scrapped?There are fifteen units at The Riparian currently listed on HAR, so it apparently has not been scrapped.

dbigtex56 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 hmm...he owns LandCo, but i couldn't find any association between michael raider and houston except this excerpt from the summer:I'm a bit confused - is Michael Raider connected to the former Day's Inn (Raider's Lofts)? or is the name coincidental?What are the updates on Tremont Torture Towers?

danes75 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Well the Michael Raider of Days Inn is in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I spoke with the selling organization's national director a few weeks ago who gave me MR's contact information, along with a Ray Marshall.I found this on GlobeSt.com:"The Block 98 development will be the second project that LandCo has tackled in Houston's CBD. The company recently acquired the former Days Inn Hotel at 801 St. Joseph Parkway for redevelopment into 251 luxury apartments and retail space. Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2006, with units delivering in early 2007." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevfiv Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 thanks for the information - i'll be terribly impressed to see the days inn in a new light (not being pessimistic - just so used to the eyseore it has become...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Hizzy! Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Thanks for the Raiders Loft information, Danes. I have to look at this gutted sucker every day and it's refreshing to know that there's still a plan in place that's on paper. They'd better start soon, because pieces of the garage's material are falling onto the sidewalk fronting the southern side of the building. They even had to put the yellow construction tape around that area of sidewalk in case more of the material falls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danes75 Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 According to the Tremont Towers website, 19 units have sold. I read an article on a newspaper site, don't remember where, that 3 or 4 of the regular units and all of the penthouses (shown as "sold") are owned by the building's investors.

Montrose1100 Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I'm just waiting for the High-rise trend to slow down in the rest of the country, but its just picking up speed. Then Houston/LA will have its time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonhome Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 What are the updates on Tremont Torture Towers? Is it still a lemon?Yes...from all I have heard. The lady still owns the unit and is still barred from it... Tremont is trying to remediate the mold and sell the entire building off...At least they removed the grafitti.

kjb434 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 My realtor for my house is also on the sales consultant (Prudential Realty) team for the Riparian. He's says there's steady interest in the units, so the market of people that can afford and are looking is there. It's just a matter is they like the floorplans being offered.If any of you look at the Riparian floorplans, they are pretty unique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
