j_cuevas713 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 We need some improvements for pedestrian safety at that offramp. People fly through there and don't even stop. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this area is bound to be one of the most energetic neighborhoods in the city As a musician that had a studio at Sterrett St for quite a while, I always found this little area to be quite unique and a lot of fun to walk. Here's to hoping that with new construction the vibe stays somewhat the same. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

004n063 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I have two minor complaints about this project: nothing but garage on all the ground floors, and sidewalk interruption for the food trolley. That said, I wonder if the design would make it easier to convert parts of the garage to GFR later on? The facade work is nice. Also, the brickwork - especially on the easternmost building - is really nice, in my opinion. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, I didn't know that southern parcel of land would still be open for development. I thought it was going to cut all the way through the Metro bus area. I hope another McKee style apartment complex is built there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I completely agree - it would be great to enclose Sterrett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I could see a large AT crane off in the distance from downtown and I was racking my mind as to what it could possibly be lifting. The building trapped the portable tower crane and it had no way to get out. Crane Master Inc. showed up to remove it. I asked one of the workers when the Charles and the smaller building would be finished, he said probably in about 3 months. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 All 3 buildings have name. "The first portion of the project, a 273-unit section called The Artist, is nearly a third occupied after opening in February. Another 31-unit building, called Muse, is to open in May. Construction on the 184-unit Icon phase is expected to complete by September." https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/downtown-houston-affordable-apartments-housing-19400037.php 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
