anybody know much about that large tract on TC Jester? nice multi-family site. not many in that area.
3 houses in oak forest for new construction in 1 day. wild. when i’m old and gray, that area will be Bellaire 2.0
@HTX Rex: Also interetsed in the large TC Jester tract as I live right behind it. Any rumors swirling out there?
Multifamily
Sad to see 1503 Hawthorne slated for demo – it’s a cool bungalow, needs love and money. I have no problem with new construction, but I do have a problem with Croix’s boring, cookie-cutter, 2 story traditional brick boxes – bring on some new builders.
I live in the 77092 portion of Oak Forest. Luckily, our brick ranch houses have been spared the wrecking balls hitting on the little bungalows across the bayou.
@SFP
Do actually know that it will be multifamily complex or are you just speculating that it probably will be multifamily?
Croix is slowly ruining the neighborhood’s look with the cheesy/cheap looking designs.
I know. Same purchaser as Chateu Greenbriar.
Kaplan is building apartments there
It’s surprising that SFHs can be bought and knocked down in Houston and rebuilt at a profit. It would seem the land price would make it hard to do.
@marcy, i think they let the owner get out before the wrecking ball hits. unless by luck you mean as-built circa 1947. a bungalow is cute on a 5000 square foot lot in montrose, but it’s an “opportunity” on a 7500 square foot lot in oak forest.
Has anyone heard of this “The District at Washington” that was torn down on t.c. jester being a nuclear dump site? I heard that from a nearby resident. Western Geophysical supposedly owned it. I was wondering if this was a fact, and if so, how are they able to build apartments there?
Cindy, that’s incredibly, incredibly, unlikely, unless somebody did some serious remediation before any building. No profit-seeking organization would be stupid enough to try to conceal a nuclear dump and then build apartments on top of it.
But if anyone were concerned, a simple Geiger counter survey would be pretty easy to do.
its going to be a huge apartment complex built. small one and two bedroom apartments. the design and details are in the chron
