Last month, an application for an abandonment and sale of street or alley was submitted to the city's Joint Referral Committee. Claude Wynn Interests is listed as the applicant.

The application is for the parcels 3815 Montrose Blvd and 3820 Roseland St. Once approved, I suspect there will be a replat request soon. 
 

Below is what the developer submitted:

 

  • Description and square footage of requested street or alley to be abandoned and sold (Example: Water line easement, 20 feet wide by 200 feet long;total of 4,000 square feet):

    City of Houston Alley, 15 foot wide by 269 feet long; total 4,035 square feet; vol 5 pg 32 H.C.M.R


     
  • Legal description and address of the property abutting the portion of the street or alley to be abandoned and sold, by lot and block, including the name of the subdivision. If the property is not located in a platted subdivision, provide the name of the survey and the abstract number:

    Block 1, Res "A", Thirty-Eight Fifteen Montrose and Block 2, Res "B", Thirty-Eight Fifteen Montrose; Obedience Smith Survey A-696


     
  • Statement of intended use and details of the requested street or alley to be sold: 

    Acquire land for proposed mixed use development including hotel, multi-family, retail, and structured parking.


     
  • What is the timeline for proposed redevelopment? 

    12 - 24 months

Below is the preliminary site plan for the proposed mixed-use at 3815 Montrose Blvd, 3820 Roseland St, and 901 W Alabama St.

The mixed use development may include a hotel, multi-family, retail, and/or structured parking.


Included on the preliminary site plan is a hotel at 3815 Montrose Blvd, next to forthcoming seafood restaurant Clark's. Retail and a mailroom are shown at 3820 Roseland St. A possible cafe or restaurant is shown at 901 W Alabama St.

Great find InTheKnow, you may have just sniffed out the next mixed-use development in Montrose! Looks like at least 2 new structures on the east corners, and potentially adaptive reuse of the structure facing Montrose. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Although the site plan is preliminary, I initially thought this location is so close to Bunkhouse's Hotel Saint Augustine. But then I remembered Bunkhouse has at least three hotels in Austin down the street from the other. I think the hotels are Hotel San José, Austin Motel, and Hotel San José.

If a cafe is in the works, I wonder if it will be Bunkhouse's Jo's Coffee? Or will it be another MML Hospitality restaurant? Whatever is going in, it will be interesting to see the finalized plans for this site.

From Marchbank's Company's website about 3815 Montrose Blvd:


3815 Montrose 

This building, in the heart of Houston’s Museum District, was given a new life in the early 2000’s through redevelopment and re-leasing to “creative class” tenants.  This property, along with adjoining property under the same ownership, represents one of the largest commercial sites on Montrose Boulevard, between Westheimer Road to the north and Mecom Fountain to the south.

This will also be a hotel operated by the Bunkhouse group according to a member of the First Montrose Commons civic association. He talked about the project at the Neartown Association meeting that was held tonight. He asked for the local civic associations to oppose the closure of the alley. He also mentioned that the current salon would be used as the lobby, the 3815 Montrose building would be renovated in to the hotel rooms and the house on W. Alabama would also be renovated (he mentioned something about a restaurant which I assume would be in this building). He said that the entrance to the parking area would be off of W. Alabama St. which is currently fenced off. Only access to the alley now is from Sul Ross ST. and the parking area is used by the workers in the 3815 Montrose building.

Thanks for the recap, @hindesky.

It was already determined in the posts above the properties will become another hotel from Bunkhouse. All of those details are included in the site plan submitted to the city's Joint Referral Committee in May:

Thanks for all the new updates, hindesky.  Great confirmation on Bunkhouse and this will be quite the block of activity, especially with Clark's next door... Awesome stuff.

Abandon street sign on Sul Ross St. The building is pretty nice and has a cool sign but needs to be renovated. There are two architect companies located in the building, GSMA https://www.gsmarchitects.net , Curtis and Windham Inc. https://www.curtisandwindham.com and a video production company ttweak https://ttweak.com
