swtsig Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 or the information being thrown around here is. Not sure. My guess is a company trying to sell land is more up to date than the nothingness floating around here is. But I don't know...just my guess.Plus, if it was outdated, it'd be four years plus out of date since its been discussed at least that long. this property is also currently listed on Commgate.

plumber2 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I think all of these renderings and annoucements are just landowners collaborating together to run up the price of area real estate. They figure if the oil speculators can get away with it, so can they. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

photohunts Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I fear that this development might attract homeless people to midtown. Well...homeless until they've signed their lease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejack Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Interesting. Midtown Arbor Place was formerly known as Broadstone Midtown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortune Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 That's kind of disappointing I was hoping a high rise would be built at that site. Broadstone builds such boring and bland buildings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 A high rise? At that intersection? Why would you want that? This will help tie together the stuff north of alabama with the galleries etc a couple blocks south, and provide them with some foot traffic.Now If we could just get sears to restore their building on wheeler...

Fortune Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Yes that location it's on a major thoroughfare and the light rail. Seems like a good location for a high rise. At one point in time a high rise was planned for the site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGM Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I fear that this development might attract homeless people to midtown. Well...homeless until they've signed their lease.Why can't they just squat? I think the developer should devote every other apartment to needy folks. This should encourage people to move in. Diversity or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortune Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Here are a couple of links to articles about proposed buildings for the site there are 3 I believe. http://www.chron.com/CDA/archives/archive.mpl/2004_3828378/a-change-is-on-the-way-doctors-owned-medical-cente.html http://www.architechdesign.net/docs/ThisWeek1.pdf Go down to post 63 there are two different renderings for the site.

Fortune Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 The property is still listed for sale. Here is a link to the listing which includes some conceptual designs. The second rendering looks like a Broadstone design.http://www.commgate.com/viewers/pdfviewer.cfm?ln=169396 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisPHous Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Interesting spot. That is a great location because of how close it is to all he museums, but the area is much more transitional compared to w grey side of midtown. I would love to see that park cleaned up!

KinkaidAlum Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 So happy to see this lot filled in. It's my favorite part of Midtown (Continental Club, Nattachee's, Breakfast Klub, Julia's, The Ensemble, Sig's Lagoon, Big Top, Tacos-A-Go-Go, and that beautiful old Spanish-style apartment building). Plus, the connectivity to the Museums, TMC, Downtown, Montrose, HCC, UH, TSU, Rice, UST and more is so darn easy. So many things have been proposed for this lot, ranging from 20 story office towers to medical clinics but at the end of the day, a solid midrise apartment is the best possible outcome.

j_cuevas713 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Ive seen Houston change so much in the past 20 yrs. Back in the day taking people to Houston meant a nice restaruant and a nice mall. Now a days there are actual neighborhoods you can take the train too and be proud to really showcase the city. Just proud to be a Houstonian.

RedScare Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 You gotta be kidding me. When are they gonna learn? Do they not see whats going on right across the street? I give up. Sorry for the complaining and negativity but, damn. If there is stuff going on "right across the street", why must there be retail in the bottom of the apartment complex? Are the potential tenants incapable of walking "right across the street"? Why must the definition of a walkable neighborhood include no walking? I would post a facepalm pic of your obsession with ground floor retail, but instead I will just use yours for my comments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barracuda Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I have to agree, I would think most people are capable of making it through the guided crosswalk at Alabama. There are literally six restaurants, two bars and the Continental Club within a couple blocks. The area is very walkable, and steps away from a light rail station. Also, it's worth noting that plenty of residential buildings in Manhattan also lack ground-level retail...this isn't strictly a Houston phenomenon.

Nole23 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I love mixed-use developments with grown floor retail like most people, but as the barracuda stated, not every building in many walkable neighborhoods across the country has ground floor retail. As long as apartments are built pedestrian friendly with wide sidewalks, street furniture, ect, then I think it's a win for Midtown. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
