lockmat Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Technically, it's at Grand/Alice, but 288 and OST are within walking distance. Possibly called Med Park? That's what it's referred to on the agenda. from the planning commission 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asubrt Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Wow that's a ton of town homes. I lost count but it's well over 200. There's also something going up with a crane nearby at OST and Almeda, I think it's apartments but I haven't been able to get close enough to see for sure. Not sure if there's a thread for that or not... I don't recall one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AREJAY Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I'm pretty sure this is a Medistar project - "TMC Grand Blvd Investors, LLC" has the same address and phone number listed. Also on Medistar's website they have this listed as a project: Site near Texas Medical Center26 Acres | Houston, TX 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 You're right @AREJAY, in 2015 this land was planned to be developed into office space: https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/blog/2015/03/exclusivenew-office-development-to-rise-on-23.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this is just one portion of a larger development: “The 6-acre tract for Medistar Grand appears to be part of a larger tract owned by an affiliate of Medistar, TMC Grand Blvd Investors LLC. The city of Houston’s planning commission gave the go-ahead March 14 to record the land as a single block and two unrestricted reserves, the Houston Business Journal previously reported. An unrestricted reserve could be used for any commercial or non-single-family use, such as a retail center, office building or apartment.” 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 https://www.medistarcorp.com/in-development/# In February 2020, Medistar broke ground on The Fountains Apartments in a primary growth corridor of the Texas Medical Center (“TMC”) area of Houston, Texas. Scheduled to deliver in late 2021, The Fountains will offer studio, one- and two-bedroom units ranging from 509 SF to 1,161 SF. Residents will enjoy choices from among of 15 floor plans with condominium-quality finishes, fixtures and appointments, complemented by inviting landscaping, secured access and generous parking across the 6.25 acre site. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X.R. Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Lol, that looks terrible. And how is "generous parking" a selling point unless they expect multi-car families to be moving in. Now if that is the case, and the apartments turn out to be affordable/non-luxury, I'm all for it. But a "condominium-quality finishes" doesn't scream affordable for a family of three.

hindesky Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Seems like a strange place for apartments. Lots of warehouses and light industrial complexes around the area but I guess the land is cheaper and would be convenient for TMC workers. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
