I thought New Mexico was a state. Has that changed?🤣 Yeah, yeah, I know you meant new consulate for Mexico, replacing the dump that was next to 59 off of Wheeler. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Wow. Did ABC13 really include this line in their story?!?!?!: “There is no word yet on what will happen to the old consulate building on Caroline Street in Midtown.” Should someone tell them about the plan to rebuild I-69 which requires the demolition of the old building (and which is scheduled to kick off either late this year or early next)?

dbigtex56 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Speaking of defunct consulates, is the Chinese Consulate on Montrose Blvd. just going to sit there forever? I wonder who owns or has jurisdiction over this property. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

august948 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Anyone know what they're going to do with the old Mexican consulate on 59? It's become an urban art project since they moved to Westchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JClark54 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) It's set for removal as part of the 59 burial included in the I-45 realignment. A demo permit for the multi-story structure has been filed already. The single family home that acted as taco shop for some time was on HAR a while back.

The last update from a relevant TIRZ/civic association/neighborhood association/super neighborhood association meeting I saw was TxDOT had been given the OK to do preliminary work on areas of project not impacted by the civil rights investigation. I presume this section would apply, as MPNA, MPSN and the museums have been in support of it. Edited February 7, 2022 by JClark54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Every building on that block has a "Pending" on it except the 7-11 convenience store in the current HCAD. Even those further west on 59/69 including the Chelsea and the Carter. I wonder what that means? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I'm surprised it is still listed as being owned by the Consul General of Mexico. I think they did a swap with the State of Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 They put up construction fencing around the lot. Not sure if it will be a staging area for the IH 45 reroute or to keep the homeless from camping in it because they were using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
