IntheKnowHouston Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) Hindesky there is an existing topic on the 2800 San Jacinto property. It was created in 2019. Mods @Triton @Urbannizer, maybe consider merging this with the existing one? https://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/44806-2819-fannin-st-2800-san-jacinto-st-future-development Edited December 28, 2022 by IntheKnowHouston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

editor Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Since this is being marketed as 2800 San Jacinto/1120 Dennis, I've merged it with the other 2800 San Jacinto thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillip_white Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I never saw more customers than food trucks, so this is not at all surprising. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This never made sense as a gathering place, because Fannin is just not a good place. It's four lanes of one-way traffic with long spaces between lights. Cars regularly go 45mph or faster on it. Nobody wants to hang out next to that. It exists to flush cars out of Downtown. If they want Fannin to be come economically robust on a local scale, significant redesigns are needed. To be honest, I'd just leave it as it is and try to encourage/concentrate development on Caroline. Edited April 2, 2023 by 004n063 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what MMD has planned for future improvements to the area other than the Brazos Street reconstruction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntheKnowHouston Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 On 12/16/2022 at 5:22 AM, IntheKnowHouston said: According to a recent alcohol permit filing, there's a new tenant opening soon at 1120 Dennis St. The name listed on the permits is Ruined. Based on the permits the business applied for, Ruined will probably be a club or a bar. An Instagram for Ruined was created last week. It's aiming to open this summer, according to its Instagram bio. Ruined is opening at 1120 Dennis St in Midtown. I don't know if it will be a bar, club, or both. https://www.instagram.com/ruinedhtx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanize713 Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 The whole block is now fenced off. It appears heavy machinery is also on site along Fannin St. Is demolition imminent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it's a lay down/equipment storage yard for Harper Brothers who is installing the 72" waterline on Tuam and Fannin. I was told a long time ago that the building was going to be demolished but they didn't have a timeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanize713 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Unsure of the driving force but the speculation was correct. Building is coming down this morning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything appears to reference 2800 San Jacinto (the office building with the creation mural), but the title was changed to 1120 Dennis which is where the BYOB place just opened.

Everything appears to reference 2800 San Jacinto (the office building with the creation mural), but the title was changed to 1120 Dennis which is where the BYOB place just opened. It really is confusing. And it's confusing because instead of editing the title for topic as requested, a certain moderator (we all know who) merged the topic for 2800 San Jacinto and 1120 Dennis together. The confusion stems from another moderator editing the title of 2800 San Jacinto topic to include 1120 Dennis. Although there was an ongoing topic for 1120 Dennis already, another moderator changed the title of the 2800 San Jacinto topic by adding 1120 Dennis. Their reasoning was because a sale listing someone posted in the topic included the two together. When I pointed out the two properties are on two different blocks (and not part of a development or anything), I asked to change the thread back to 2800 San Jacinto only. Instead, the mod merged the two topics though they are different. Edited September 11, 2023 by IntheKnowHouston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerNut Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Not sure if I'm misremembering but didn't there used to be an afterhours club on the top floor of this building. This would have been early 00s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even begin to understand the real estate dynamics in Midtown. So close to so many desirable neighborhoods but not desirable itself. Not sure why apartments are not flying up in that area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
