There's a bit of a ski lodge / winery vibe that I don't love, but at least the corner engages with the street. Now we just need to see something go up on the quarter-block lot at 225 W Gray and the full block at 255 W Gray. 29 minutes ago, IntheKnowHouston said: 225 West Gray St and 1708 Gillette St were sold last month.

It appears there are possibly plans in the works for the 225 W Gray St and 1708 Gillette St parcels. A website for Gray Onyx Tower launched in the spring. 225 West Gray St is the listed address. Based on the information provided, Gray Onyx Tower is a mid-rise condominium. It will consists of 7 floors with 7 apartments in total. Plans for the rooftop includes a swimming lane, gym, jacuzzi, social area, and more. There is also this description on Michelangelo del Valle's site: A total venture: an exclusive project redefining modern luxury living. Nestled near the heart of the city, this apartment complex marries sleek, contemporary design with indulgent amenities, setting a new standard for sophistication. Each residence exudes elegance and refinement. From expansive duplex layouts to chic single-floor units, every space is thoughtfully designed to maximize comfort and functionality. It's not clear if Gray Onyx Tower is a go or a mock-up. I'm thinking this may be in planning. To me, it doesn't make sense to launch an entire website with multiple pages if it is not happening. I suppose we'll know for sure in the coming months. https://grayonyxtower.com/ https://michelangelodelvalle.com/Mid Rise/gray-onyx-tower/ Edited November 19 by IntheKnowHouston 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the reason I didn't put in Going Up is because I am unsure if this is proposed or really happening. I was waiting for a firm confirmation before asking this to be moved here.

Floors 2 and 3 are made up of two types of apartments. Floors 4 to 6 are the apartments that cover the entire floor, giving it a better view and predominance in height. Finally there is the terrace, which will be arranged as a social area. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, that's also what gave me pause about this project. Even one of the investor's Instagram I mentioned, looks shady. All his posts and another investor's IG posts boasts about their wealth. By that I mean, it's the kind of boasting you always see from scammers whenever it's used as evidence in criminal cases or investigative news pieces. And another also promotes their shady looking credit repair service. I don't know. It's hard to explain, but it all looks very shady. And I have a pretty good radar when it comes to spotting shady things and shady people. Edited November 25 by IntheKnowHouston 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
