iah77 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) Omg, would be amazing if they built this. I just bought a small lot down the street. It's so empty right now. Edited September 26, 2020 by iah77 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HNathoo Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I can’t imagine this going through. The same group is being foreclosed on their blodgett project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechlin Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 That is so cool. Houston needs more creative reuse like this. I sure hope it is built as rendered! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I'm going to assume this gentleman has acquired this plat, Chris Senegal. He has been purchasing land in the 5th Ward for redevelopment. https://buytheblock.com/campaign/buying-the-block-in-historic-5th-ward-houston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what's on his website? Affordable Housing it looks like Future Project Site and Rendering - The MOD The Site. 5.3 Acre church campus near downtown Houston will be converted to a 290 Unit Workforce Housing development in Partnership with the Houston Housing Authority.

houstontexasjack Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) Goodness, the interest rate on the loan for what I’m guessing is the purchase of this property is an eye watering 11.99%: Edit: I think financing a purchase with a hard money loan does not bode well for this development. This company (Deccan Development) already lost the land for the Chelsea to foreclosure back in 2021, even though they still list the project on their website.

hindesky Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Some info I found about the architect of the original church, I don't see it mentioned here but he seemed to specialize in churches. https://www.houstontx.gov/planning/HistoricPres/landmarks/09L214_St_John_2222_Gray.pdf https://pleasantgroveway.wixsite.com/pleasantgroveway/about This Plat sign was across the street in a big empty concrete lot. I wonder if the church will move here if the MOD Project goes thru. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Fifth Ward’s historic Pleasant Grove Missionary Baptist Church — and its iconic dome seen from the highway where I-10 crosses U.S. 59 — may soon be demolished to make way for an apartment community. The Houston Housing Authority has taken ownership of the grounds, public records show. In April, it solicited bids to demolish and remediate the site, which an environmental study has found to contain asbestos and lead. The Houston Housing Authority’s ownership arrangement will make any future development tax-exempt, but the authority said the exact number of units and their affordability still need to be determined. “We are currently evaluating a number of options, considering community needs, to determine how best to develop the property,” said the authority’s chief executive, David Northern Sr., in an emailed response. Chris Senegal of Invictus Development Group, which originally purchased the property from the church before selling it to the authority, said the HHA planned to use the development to replace nearby public housing units that will be torn down as part of the I-45 expansion. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/housing/article/fifth-ward-pleasant-grove-church-apartment-hha-19460251.php 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
