Its been 5-6 months for awhile now, even back when I was still in Houston, and in some cases 5-6 months (sometimes 4) was the best you could hope for with an EXPEDITOR! The permit office simply doesn't have the staff for the volume they get. Its crazy. That's unfortunate, especially given the fact that people are paying for the services. Also delays the new property getting on the tax rolls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically, this is why one in Houston should be thankful for no zoning, extensive design commission meetings, and the many back of room meetings developers in most cities have to do to get "buy-in" from city leaders to even convince them to build in the first place. Houston has very little of any of this, otherwise it would take twice as long. I do agree with you though, simply the selfish motivation to increase the tax base as soon as possible should be a reason for Houston and other cities to properly staff these institutions to get these projects out the door as quick, and procedurally correct as possible.

Erik Asuncion Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 This seems like a great addition to the neighborhood to bring in more residents. I'll be disappointed if it doesn't include at least some bottom floor retail space. It would be a shame not to take advantage of the proximity to the Columbia Tap Trail and METRO Bus and Rail stops a few blocks away. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 Many months ago one of the office guys from UG told me that Urban Genesis, Hay Center and Toll Brother's Sully would be sharing the cost of the infrastructure needed to build all 3 of their projects. I talked with him at the Co-Op Waterworks II right when they started clearing the land over there. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 This is the utilities that both Co Op Eado and Hay Center will tie in to, I'm guessing it's either sewer or stormwater. Leeland St. will be closed at some point and they will place these I beams and ramps on it while they are doing the work. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
