I think it's great what they're doing with the walkability improvements and am very happy to hear they are taking into consideration the neighboring townhomes with the design of the garage. I am very curious to see how this project develops and to see what the final product will look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing home made printed Variance signs don't give me much confidence in the developer being well capitalized. 3 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstontexasjack Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 In looking at the property records, there was a tax lien filed against the owner, Supo Corporation, by the IRS this past July for $65,000 in unpaid taxes…..I don’t think that bodes well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoMoHouTx Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Got the official Notice of Variance notification from the city the other day. It looks like the ground floor retail is no longer part of this project. Under 'Statement of Facts' is the following: 'The plan for the building is to provide 70+ luxury residential high-rise units with 5 floors of parking and no retail on the street side........The Montrose favorite Khun Kay Thai is planning to relocate just down the street and open to continue to serve the Montrose area their delicious Thai cuisine.' It also mentions that inspiration for this building comes from ICONSAIM in Thailand and Garden by the Bay in Singapore.... 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I guess I was under the impression that the owners of this project was the restaurant's owners. I wonder which piece of property is available for them to move to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooklyn173 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 My architectural knowledge is significantly less than many on this board, but isn't the Singapore example a giant covered garden with tall mushroom like supports; and the Thai example a glass tower over a giant upscale shopping center (with more in common with many Singapore towers)? I might be wrong on the Bangkok building. My usual trusty imagination fails trying to merge the two concepts. I look forward to seeing the designs. With all the new residential construction on or planned for Montrose Blvd, are there plans for improved public transit beyond the 56 bus? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you've seen the improvements along Studewood, but that's basically what is coming to Montrose Blvd. Along the median of Studewood they added pedestrian crossings for better access to stops, wider sidewalks along the majority of the street and the bus shelters look really nice. https://www.ridemetro.org/Pages/METRO-BOOST-Network.aspx Edited September 16, 2021 by j_cuevas713 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the link you sent it only shows as far south as White Oak Several of the stops in Montrose on Montrose Blvd already have the BOOST improvements completed. I belive the stop in front of Brookstreet BBQ two blocks north of Westheimer has it completed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
