Highrise Tower Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Noticed this on Loopnet. Lots of space at the intersection of Haddon St. and Commonwealth St. This is the Sparks Tynes Building located at 1505 Haddon Street.

hindesky Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) I have some potentially good news about this property. I went to by to take a picture of the Variance Request sign for "Houston Electric Vehicle Montrose". While there, a guy was closing the gate and about to leave so I asked him some questions about it. Asked him if this was to charge anybody's electric car but he said they sold it for $9 million to "the people building the apartments at the Women's Center" his words exactly. The property includes Duty Construction's property, the painting business next to it on Haddon St. and the 3 houses on Nevada St. This topic was brought up at the Neartown Association meeting last night by a civic member from First Montrose Commons who asked the other civic associations to protest the variance at the Planning Association Meeting to be held on Sept. 7th, 2023. I think he was under the impression this might be for a fleet of autonomous self driving vehicles. I actually think that this electric vehicle charging station and the one happening in Midtown is for a future apartment projects and for the renters who will have electric vehicles. It's a fairly large piece of property, large enough for an apartments to be built on. Edited August 23, 2023 by hindesky 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I just called Lucy Magana but she had already left for the day but will call me back tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 So Lucy Magana called me back but she doesn't have a lot of information about what may be built here beyond what the sign says. Said there will be 3 houses and electric vehicle charging stations for anybody to use but the one interesting bit of info is that the owner is "2515 Caroline" which just happens to be the Caroline Lofts apartment project. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I went to vote at the West Gray Multi Center (I park in the back lot) and saw these surveyor stakes on the perimeter of the property. Saw a Windrose Surveying pickup so I stopped to talked with the surveyor who said those weren't his, he was surveying Haddon St. Looks like this will be moving forward. The old construction company still has some of their equipment on site. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I have a feeling this EV charging station is going to be for someone's fleet of EV vehicles and not just for public use. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 This is what makes me think the Voltera EV charging station will be for fleet vehicles only and not for personal cars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Plumbing demo looks completed. Variance Request for the southern portion. This makes me think there will be two separated EV charging areas, one for a fleet of vehicles and one for the public. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Planning Commission staff wanted to approve the plat but a neighbor living next to it said he found some deed restrictions that only allows for single family homes on lot 1, 2, and 3. They voted to defer it to verify the deeds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted Tuesday at 07:28 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:28 PM A supervisor from Mortenson was on site, he said they are the GC for the project. He said they pulled him from the wind energy division and moved him to their new EV Charging division. This will be a fleet EV charging station for Metro buses. Precision Demolition will be taking down the buildings. https://www.mortenson.com https://www.precisiondemolition.com Port a potties are on site.

j.33 Posted Tuesday at 07:45 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:45 PM 14 minutes ago, hindesky said: This will be a fleet EV charging station for Metro buses Im confused by this. METRO is installing ev chargers at all of their bus depots and at select transit centers. As someone who watches all of their committee meetings as well, this has never been mentioned.
