I wonder if the proprietors know a Starbucks is being built right now less than 1000 feet away from them at 6201 Washington Ave? https://woodcresthouston.nextdoor.com/news_feed/?post=59272493 http://swamplot.com/daily-demolition-report-broke-forest/2017-05-31/ Commercial Structures Gurrola ReproGraphics, Inc., 6201 Washington Ave. 77007 (Camp Logan; Starbucks Washington Schuler) Also, does anyone here know what is going on with the Union Kitchen at this location? It was supposed to be open in July but is not yet open nor is this location even mentioned on their website (that I can find...) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That roundabout is very cool - needs a refresher. I do really like how the 4 neighborhoods come together there. Hopefully this building has a good presence. It needs to be able to age gracefully. I wonder if this will look anything like phase 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkylineView Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Neighborhood meeting earlier this week. Believe it was 12 floors... "may look something like Elan Heights". Premium price point to the Elan across the street. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone recall? I do recall word of their being one in one or the other many years ago. Rumored, but never confirmed I think. (Also, I like the term Traders Joe as the plural. Kind of like Attorneys General.) 20 hours ago, H-Town Man said: I look forward to a future where thousands of people live in midrises around this roundabout and all of them are having to drive to get a taco or a bottle of wine since there's no GFR. There WAS a Spec's on the roundabout until the city closed it for being too close to the elementary school. (These proximity rules are something that needs to be revisited as the city densifies, BTW.) Edited February 21, 2019 by Angostura 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People that live in that area have to drive all the way east to find a store. However, if there was to be a grocer, you'd think that they would advertise it there renders in the front of the lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, but doesn't appear from the rendering that Phase II includes GLR, rather is limited to lobby and parking garage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Urbannizer Posted June 5, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2019 https://www.chron.com/business/real-estate/article/Greystar-building-11-story-high-rise-near-13939524.php#item-85307-tbla-3 Multifamily developer Greystar has moved into the next phase of development on the former site of the Memorial Club apartments near the Washington Avenue roundabout. The Charleston, S.C., developer, which is partnering with J.P. Morgan Asset Management on the project, has started construction on what will be an 11-story, 315-unit apartment building called The Byrdie. "The community is being designed with sustainable products and will complement the surrounding neighborhood and pedestrian friendly location," Trent Conner, managing director of development for Greystar, said in an announcement. The building will include one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans, along with penthouse units. Interior finishes will include stainless steel appliances, gas ranges, stone countertops and wood flooring throughout. Penthouse units will have Subzero and Wolf appliances. Among the amenities will be a top-floor lounge that will have views of River Oaks and downtown, Greystar said. The building will also offer valet and concierge services. The project is going up on the southwest corner of Westcott and Arnot streets, just east of Memorial Park. Harris County Appraisal District appraised the nearly three-acre parcel at $6.3 million. The new building is expected to open by early 2021. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
