astrohip Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 When we were looking at condos in 2018, we looked at 2727 Kirby. We weren't fans of the building, so it didn't matter, but one of the things our realtor warned us about was this little square of land. He said something will be built one day, and you may not like it next door to your condo. Five stories isn't bad, I think the units start above that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope this project fails and fails fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 How are developers so damn stupid? The back street is perfect for drivers to access parking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amlaham Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) I don't want to give anyone nightmares......but based off that LoopNet listing, it looks like the first picture is "north facing" meaning it faces the highrise, and the bottom picture is "south facing" meaning it faces Kipling St...........meaning..............the garage is facing Kirby.......do we call the police?

Houston19514 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Well, the good news is, the building includes ground-floor retail and is supposed to have an "on-site full-service restaurant." Hopefully, this rendering needs some tweaking. (Personally, I wouldn't put too much weight and how they represent the siting in the rendering. We've all seen renderings with the wrong city in the background. That parking structure is bad enough behind the building (again, we need to adopt regulations on the appearance of parking structures, and yes, this is another case where eliminating the parking requirements would accomplish nothing with regard to the ugly parking structure - it proposes to offer 4 spaces for every 1,000 square feet, well above the current city parking requirements). I am not believing anyone would propose to build this with the parking structure fronting on Kirby. https://www.nmrk.com/insights/press-releases/newmark-to-lease-new-class-a-medical-office-development-in-upscale-houston-neighborhood Edited February 16, 2022 by Houston19514 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Urbannizer Posted February 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2022 Ok I feel a bit better about this. The building fronts the street with no driveway from Kirby. 14 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amlaham Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I feel like we should expect to see a different rendering than the one listed above; since the building layout and the building rendering don't correlate with each other......hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 They only have the front portion of the lot fenced off which made me wonder if they don't own the back parking lot but HCAD shows they own the whole thing. The back lot is used daily by someone that seems to be the used by people living at and contractors doing work for the 2727 Kirby condos. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hindesky Posted May 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) Exciting news!!! When I talked with the demolition workers, I asked them if they knew what was going to built on this property. They said a 40 story apartment project. I told them no it was going to be a 5 story medical building and showed them the rendering. Turns out they were 100% correct. Just went by after getting my car washed at Mr Car Wash and I spot a sign for "Southern Land Communities" a division of Southern Land Company (not to be confused with Southernland Communities, which sells farm and ranch properties). They are out of Nashville, Tenn and are a developer & construction company Southern Land Communities does indeed develop high rise apartments. https://southernland.com https://www.instagram.com/southernlandcompany/ Edited May 11, 2023 by hindesky 18 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been waiting for news to become public or Hindesky's on-the-ground reporting would pull through as it always does. My sources indicate it is taller than 40 floors and that it is planned to be mixed-use, not solely MF and retail... 😎 27 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amlaham Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 7 minutes ago, kennyc05 said: That's gonna block 2727 views :( Yeah, but 2727 Kirby already has unobstructed views to the north/ west/ east so I think they'll be fine. I'm sooo excited about this! This would be the tallest building in the area (I feel like it will eventually shrink to about 20-30 floors which is still fine IMO), it would have amazing 360 views of all of our skylines! Uptown/ Greenway to the west, TMC to the south east, Downtown/ Midtown to the north east, and Allen parkway to the north (considering they build tall enough). Wishful thinking, they build a mini observation deck at the top 😅 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityliving Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) Hopefully all this excitement about a 40 story building at this site is TRUE, and not all just hype about what a worker at a site said. I will be disappointed if it’s not true.😡 Edited May 11, 2023 by cityliving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) Man I hope this is true because that medical building was trash. SLC builds some really nice developments. Edited May 11, 2023 by j_cuevas713 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
