it was sold to Drudee LLC in the middle of last year. Can’t find much on the company. 

Looks like they own the other lots there too.

You beat me to it. Snapped this photo a few minutes ago.

It was standing this morning with that excavator parked very close, and then when I got home it was gone.  I always liked the look of the house ever since someone painted it a bright blue and yellow pattern - didn't realize that it was vacant until today

 

 

I hope it was vacant anyway

They got the demo permit today.

The entire block is owned by the same owner or owners. It's bounded by Emancipation Ave, Leeland St, Bastrop St, and Bell St. 

It's across the street from Brothers Taco House and J-Bar-M Barbecue

The block number is block 579.

Maybe townhomes will be built on the lots? I really do not know. Perhaps we'll see soon.
















According to county parcel maps, there are twelve lots on Block 579 SSBB:

Alliance Broadstone Eado is using a portion of the western part of the lot for workers parking and a construction trailer.

[wilcal]

Whatever they have planned, I imagine that they will be platting the property. I could see this going any direction, but it is surrounded on all sides unrestricted reserves and not townhomes. 

[hindesky]

Alliance is using about 2/3's of the lot for parking, they also have the construction office and a sea can.
 

[Sanjorade]

Looked into the company a little more and it’s associated w another company that is a GC. Hoping this is mixed use.

A permit was pulled about two weeks ago for a residential electrical sawpole at 2304 Bell St. 

2304 Bell St is one of the parcels on this block. The entire block 579 is owned by the same person / people.

As @hindesky noted, Alliance Residential Company is temporarily utilizing 2304 Bell St (and maybe other tracts on block 579). 


Comments from the permit pertaining to the residential electrical sawpole:
 

• (April 14) Sawpole secured for electrical service for construction trailers and temp power for staging area for [Broadstone EaDo at 2425 Bell St.]

New multifamily variance. 

[wilcal]

Very interesting! A few things:

Multifamily use is not the actual variance, that is allowed by-right here.

They are actually asking for a variance to follow the Walkable Place standards here in lieu of typical building setback standards.

Walkable Places is on Emancipation, but not in this area. It is south of Pierce.

They are proposing 8' sidewalks along every street except for 10' along Bastrop. Vehicular access only from Leeland. Reduced building line is approx 2-3', so quite a significant reduction.

11 stories. 348 units. 441 parking spaces (no minimum requirement) Residential only, no GFR or anything.

I can't share the renderings at this point, but they'll be available soon. No parking podium. Residential units starting at floor 1, which is amazing. White/beige/black. Pool/amenity deck on the 9th floor facing downtown. It is basically a giant near-cube.

Below is text regarding a proposed subdivision plat application with a variance request for 2323 Leeland St. Specifically the applicant is seeking approval for a Variance/Special Exception/ Reconsideration of Requirement.

The name of the proposed subdivision plat is Leeland at Emancipation Reserve.

As mentioned, a multifamily apartment (residential development) is planned for the block. 

The text is from the application submitted to the Planning Commission.

 

• Applicant's Statement of Facts: 
   
  • (1a) The imposition of the terms, rules, conditions, policies and standards of this chapter would create an undue hardship by depriving the applicant of the reasonable use of the land; OR
    
    Ν/Α
    
    
     
  • (1b) Strict application would make this project infeasible due to the existence of unusual physical characteristics that affect the property in question, or would create an impractical development or one otherwise contrary to sound public policy;
    
    The project site consists of 1.435 acres located in East Downtown. The site is bound by Emancipation Avenue, a major thoroughfare; Leeland Street, a major collector; Bastrop Street, a local street; and Bell Street, a local street. The adjoining rights-of-way are each 80-feet wide. Bastrop Street and Bell Street were improved in late 2023 with new paving and sidewalks. The paving section within the right-of-way of Emancipation Avenue is ±44-feet; Leeland Street is ±52- feet; Bastrop Street is ±20-feet with a public on-street parking area; and Bell Street is ±20-feet with a public on-street parking area. Emancipation Avenue has a 5.5-foot sidewalk; Leeland Street does not have a sidewalk; Bastrop Street has a recently constructed 10-foot sidewalk; and Bell Street has a recently constructed 8-foot sidewalk. The existing 10-feet sidewalk along Bastrop Street is a direct extension of the Houston Promenade & EaDog Park. Currently, Emancipation has 4 driveways; Leeland Avenue has 2 driveways; Bastrop Street and Bell Street do not have driveways. The subject site is located ±3,300-feet from the EaDo / Stadium rail station (Green Line), ±1,000- feet from the Polk Street bus route (40 and 41), ±2,400-feet from Toyota Center, ±2,000-feet from Shell Stadium, ±2,340-feet from the George R. Brown Convention Center, ±4,500 feet from Minute Maid Park and ±2,800-feet from Discovery Green. The subject site is also 1,325-feet northeast of the Walkable Places designated area of Emancipation Avenue. The unusual characteristics of the adjoining rights-of-way each being 80-feet wide established abnormal distances from the street paving to the property lines. Emancipation Avenue has 18-feet from curb to property line; Leeland Street has 15-feet from curb to property line; Bastrop Street and Bell Street have 30-feet from curb to property line. Utilizing the standard building line requirements of Chapter 42 would create expansive sparse space providing little interaction or activation for pedestrians. The proposed development will eliminate 4 existing driveways along Emancipation Avenue creating a safer pedestrian realm. The garage and loading berth will take access via Leeland Street. Units will be located on the 1st floor facing Emancipation Avenue and Bell Street which will promote "eyes on the streets" creating a safer pedestrian environment. Prioritizing pedestrian walkability over auto- centric transportation not only enhances the quality of life for individuals but also fosters healthier, more sustainable communities. Walkable areas encourage active lifestyles, reduce air pollution, and promote social interaction, while also decreasing the need for vast parking lots and road expansions that often degrade the environment. By designing cities that prioritize pedestrians, we create spaces that are safer, more vibrant, and accessible to all people, regardless of age or ability. In contrast, an over-reliance on cars leads to traffic congestion, higher emissions, and reduced public health. A shift toward walkability ultimately saves money on healthcare, strengthens local economies by promoting foot traffic to businesses, and contributes to a more equitable, livable urban future. Without this variance, the site would comply with setback requirements that would push buildings away from the streets, diminishing the pedestrian experience and inhibiting community interaction. This would counteract the city's broader goals of sustainable urban development, which encourages walkable neighborhoods with easy access to transportation.
    
    
    
     
  • (2) The circumstances supporting the granting of the variance are not the result of a hardship created or imposed by the applicant;
    
    The need for this variance stems from the pre-existing physical conditions of the site and the surrounding area, rather than any actions or decisions made by the applicant. The existing infrastructure and setback requirements were established long before the applicant's involvement, and the applicant has not taken any steps to create or exacerbate these challenges. For instance, the irregularities in street widths, the varying conditions of the sidewalks, and the current configuration of driveways are all inherited conditions that affect the ability to develop the property in a conventional manner. The applicant is not seeking to alter or modify the land in a way that introduces a self-imposed hardship; rather, the request is being made to address these inherent site constraints. The variance will allow for a development that is responsive to these unique characteristics and provides an opportunity to implement a more walkable and community-centered design. Granting the variance would simply enable the project to work within the existing constraints of the site while still meeting the broader goals of the city's urban planning policies.
    
    
    
     
  • (3) The intent and general purposes of this chapter will be preserved and maintained;
    
    The purpose of Chapter 42 is to ensure that development occurs in a way that promotes public safety, health, and welfare, and that it supports a sustainable, functional, and attractive urban environment. Granting this variance will preserve and further these goals by fostering a more pedestrian-oriented environment, encouraging density, and enhancing public accessibility. The reduction of setbacks will bring the building closer to the street, creating a more dynamic and engaging interface between the private development and public space. This promotes better street activation, which is a key factor in encouraging pedestrian activity and fostering community interactions. By enabling development that aligns more closely with the street, this variance supports the City's commitment to creating safe walkable urban corridors with high-density, mixed- use neighborhoods that prioritize people over vehicles. Buildings placed close to the street enhance the pedestrian experience by creating a more active, human-scaled environment. Additionally, this approach increases access to transit and local amenities, aligning with the City's sustainability goals and its long-term vision for more sustainable urban growth.
    
    
    
     
  • (4) The granting of the variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety or welfare;
    
    Granting this variance will not result in any adverse impacts on public health, safety, or welfare. On the contrary, the proposed variance aims to improve the pedestrian environment, increase connectivity to local landmarks, and promote a safer, more accessible urban space. By reducing setbacks, the project can create wider, more functional pedestrian zones, encouraging walking and cycling over car use. This will reduce traffic congestion and promote more sustainable modes of transportation. Furthermore, the project will enhance the public realm by making it more active and inviting, with improved sidewalks, streetscapes, and connectivity to local businesses and public transit. The proposal's focus on pedestrian-friendly design, with wider sidewalks and reduced setbacks, ensures that the space remains safe and accessible for people of all ages and abilities. This also contributes to greater street-level surveillance, which can increase safety in the area by making it more visible and active. Additionally, by adhering to modern urban planning principles that prioritize walkability and mixed-use development, the project will help support the City's broader public health goals, such as reducing air pollution and promoting active lifestyles through walking, cycling, and greater access to green spaces.
    
    
    
     
  • (5) Economic hardship is not the sole justification of the variance.
    
    While economic considerations are often a factor in development, the primary justification for this variance is not to alleviate economic hardship, but rather to address the unique physical characteristics of the site and to create a development that supports the broader goals of sustainable urban growth. The project's focus is on promoting walkability, enhancing the urban streetscape, and contributing to the city's long-term objectives for creating vibrant, dense, and transit-oriented neighborhoods. While the variance may have positive economic implications, such as increasing property values and attracting investment in the area, the variance request is driven by a commitment to creating a better public realm and fostering community engagement. The variance is not sought purely for financial gain, but as a means of facilitating a development that integrates harmoniously with the surrounding neighborhood, supports local businesses, and meets the city's goals for urban density and sustainability. The economic benefits that may result from this variance-such as attracting new developments, improving accessibility, and fostering a more active neighborhood—are seen as positive outcomes of a development that is rooted in sound urban planning principles and designed to benefit the community as a whole.

The following renderings are included with a subdivision plat application with a variance request for 2323 Leeland Street.

BGE, Inc., the applicant, submitted the following design from EDI International.

Developers are awaiting approval for the proposed Class 2 subdivision plat Leeland at Emancipation Reserve.

An 11-story multifamily development is planned for the East Downtown (EaDo) site. As for the residential development's name, it's dubbed Leeland Street Apartments on the construction document. However, that's likely not the name of the apartments. An official name will be announced in the future.
