Urbannizer Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 https://www.arcthreestudio.com/seamist-mixed-use Quote Seamist drive sits on the western edge of the Houston Heights, just inside the 610 loop. We were asked to proposed a retail and office building that would have a connection to Jaycee Park across the street, and design a vibrant green space which would be a destination for all. Architectural explorations are still underway, but this proposal situates an L shape building with two cuts through the building on the ground floor to allow for pedestrian access from all points on the site. A shallow A-frame with an external skin that wraps and folds around the building creates different covered spaces for retail users, while composite and wood siding clad both the retail and office spaces respectively. All of which sits on a raised pad looking down into a lush green space, providing the perfect setting for an evening meal with the family, or the perfect respite from the work day. Stay tuned for more on this site next year! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I wonder where this proposed mixed-use is going up? According to the description on the architect's site: Seamist Drive sits on the western edge of the Houston Heights, just inside the 610 loop. We were asked to proposed a retail and office building that would have a connection to Jaycee Park across the street, and design a vibrant green space which would be a destination for all.

The surrounding warehouse properties across from Jaycee Park are: 1215 Seamist Dr. 1225 Seamist Dr. 1331 Seamist Dr. 1441 Seamist Dr. 1440 Greengrass Dr. 1302 Greengrass Dr. 6880 Wynwood Lane 6850 Wynwood Lane 6840 Wynwood Lane 6867 Wynwood Lane 6827-2839 Wynwood Lane 6853-6859 Wynwood Lane 6817 Wynwood Lane 6807 Wynwood Lane 6803 Wynwood Lane Harris County parcel map 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the proposed Seamist mixed-use development will be located at 1331 Seamist Dr. I think this is in the Lazy Brook-Timbergrove area. The property was acquired in 2016 by Pinto Realty Partners LLC. Pinto Realty Partners is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cockrell Interests. According to county and city records, Pinto Realty Partners received approval for a replat in 2020. The replat was to create an unrestricted reserve. The plat is named Haven at Seamist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyt36 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Man, who came up with the street names over there? What is a seamist? One who seams? I guess it goes with "Seaspray," which is also in the neighborhood. I suppose this area just developed later than the surroundings and got the cutesy suburban street names.

Haven is what Guefen Partners generally names their developments. Potentially a multi-family deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A follow up to the post regarding a sewer disconnect permit issued for 1441 Seamist Dr in August: In the comments of the inspection report / project status, it was noted the permit is "not [for] a building demo, only demo of sewer from grease trap to city sewer. Grease trap is going to be storage from floor drain pumped out and disposed." Still unsure where the mixed-use project posted by Urbannizer is going on Seamist Drive.

On 1/28/2024 at 4:53 PM, hindesky said: Just so there is no confusion, the proposed mixed-use @Urbannizer posted has NOT been confirmed to be at 1331 Seamist Dr. That address was pure speculation on my part. And as a result of that speculation, it seems the topic has diverged into posts about 1331 Seamist Dr. I messaged Arc Three Studio last fall about the proposed mixed-use. In their response, they said it's still on the table. An estimated timeline wasn't provided. I asked if it's located at the address I speculated, they replied it wasn't. When I asked for a specific address, Arc Three Studio said they can't provide it due to their contract with the developer. So, I'm taking them at their word (though some developers and business owners are sometimes dishonest when they don't want to confirm a project.) To clear that up, I created a topic for 1331 Seamist Dr. If the development discussed here turns out to be slated for 1331 Seamist Dr, moderators can always merge the two topics. Until then, here's a separate topic for 1331 Seamist Dr. https://www.houstonarchitecture.com/topic/53408-1331-seamist-dr/ Edited March 29 by IntheKnowHouston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
