New owner proposes changes for downtown's Spaghetti Warehouse building

Nancy Sarnoff
July 18, 2018 Updated: July 19, 2018 8:10 a.m.

The new owner of downtown's oft-flooded Spaghetti Warehouse building wants to remake the property into an open-air street market with a bar on the second floor.

A brief description of the project illustrated by renderings were filed late last month with the Houston Archaeological and Historical Commission, the arbiter of renovations on historic properties.

With the building's history of flooding, the renovations propose to open up the ground level so flood waters can pass through, according to documents filed by Houston-based Diamond Development Group.

The bayou-fronting Spaghetti Warehouse restaurant shuttered last year after Hurricane Harvey.

The 15,000-square-foot building at 901 Commerce was developed around 1912 alongside Buffalo Bayou between Main and Travis. The building is in the Main Street Market Square historic district.

More Washington Ave. area apartments planned near Sawyer Yards

By Fauzeya Rahman – Reporter, Houston Business Journal
Jul 27, 2018, 10:08am CDT

Next month, Phoenix-based Alliance Residential Co. will start construction on a new five-story apartment project near the corner of Sawyer and Edwards, close to The Silos at Sawyer Yards and about a mile from its other project under construction, Broadstone Studemont.

The 327-unit project’s design will fit in with the “vibe of the Sawyer Arts District,” with a brick veneer exterior made to match the look of the warehouses in the area, said Luke Phillippi, development director with Alliance.

“We wanted to design something that feels like it’s part of that neighborhood,” Phillippi said. “We’re not just putting a major modern hard-edge building when you need to put brick.”

The area’s “cool walkable amenities” are what drew the company to that area, he said.

Phillippi wouldn’t disclose who Alliance bought the 3.85 acre-tract from but records from the Harris County Appraisal District list Westheimer Retail Center Ltd. as the owner.

Frank M. Liu, president of Lovett Commercial, is the entity’s registered agent, according to documents filed with the Texas comptroller. HCAD appraised the tract at $3.1 million in 2018.

Swamplot previously reported the city’s planning commission approved a request to combine two smaller parcels into one almost four-acre tract.

The Sawyer project’s amenities include a sky deck facing east, with direct views of downtown, Phillippi said. One- and two-bedroom apartments will range in size from 613 square feet to 1,249 square feet with rents starting around $1,400. Apartment features will likely include “condo-like” finishes such as quartz countertops, wooden-plank flooring, farmhouse sinks and tiled shower floors.

Since the project is right by a railroad track, the building will include higher-rated windows to help with sound absorption. Houston-based EDI International designed the building with Alliance as its own general contractor. Construction financing is provided through Regions Bank.

The project should deliver by the fourth quarter of 2020.

A High Line for Houston?

Landscape architect James Corner will bring his vision to TMC3’s Helix Park


By Christine Hall | August 1, 2018

As a boy, James Corner grew increasingly passionate about geography, biology and art.

When he listed these interests on a high school career test, landscape architecture popped up as a possible profession.

Today, that student is the founder and director of James Corner Field Operations. The global landscape architecture and urban design firm is the engine behind some of America’s highest-profile spaces, including a “pierscape” along Chicago’s historic Navy Pier, and the High Line, an elevated public park built on a historic freight rail line in New York City’s West Side.

Now, Corner will bring his talents to Houston. His team will design a double helix-shaped park in the heart of TMC3, the Texas Medical Center’s translational research campus that’s set to break ground in 2019, with projected completion in 2022. The park sits atop a three-story structure modeled after the shape of DNA, often compared to a twisted ladder.

“The Texas Medical Center’s whole mission statement is about global health and well-being,” Corner said. “We spent a lot of time thinking about what this might mean in terms of a program for this rooftop and sequence of spaces. Instead of just making a nice-looking place with plants and somewhere to sit, how could we actually have invitations embedded that invite new kinds of use?”

Helix Park will be multi-sensory, Corner said, because humans see, hear and touch; they experience humidity, heat and cold. “These are all profound experiential dimensions of the human body which have a deep impact on health and welfare and well-being,” he said.

A rendering of TMC3’s Helix Park, provided by James Corner Field Operations, includes an aerial site plan.

What a beautiful park! Is this accessible for regular pedestrian use? Seems like a medical park might only get use from employees and hospital visitors.

It's being created for everyone. It's open and free to the public.

But isn't it on top of a building or parking garage? If so, most people won't know about it, as they would if it were on the street level.

The building is only three stories high and has a gradual slope up and back down from street level. In addition to the TMC population that may be built in, it's within a block or so of the Brays Bayou Greenway Trail which is being expanded and upgraded.

The video below some pretty good context.

Think of it as a much larger version of the park on top of the Glassell School at the MFAH.

ALEXAN MEMORIAL APARTMENTS ARE HEADING TO RICE MILITARY

08/14/18 11:30am
by Dan Singer

A group linked to Dallas developer Trammell Crow recently filed plans with Houston’s planning commission to prep the shaded 2.5-acre parcel shown on the map between Sandman and the dead end of Reinerman St. for new apartments under the Alexan name. The complex would be backed by a ramp that diverges from the north side of Memorial Dr. and neighbored by a 3-story building that forms part of the DePelchin Children’s Center’s main Houston campus. Ordered off the site to make way for the new construction: some parking for the adjacent adoption and foster care center and a vacant, H-shaped office building to the west.

RECENTER REBUILDING GETS GOING ON MAIN ST.
08/15/18 3:30pm
by Dan Singer


Midtown sobriety nonprofit ReCenter — formerly the Men’s Center — is now getting started building a new building in place of its old campus at 3805 and 3809 Main St. BRAVE Architecture’s design for the new housing, education, and detox facility — shown above fronting the Red Line — hasn’t taken shape yet, but a big hole recently has, according to a passerby, foreshadowing the coming construction. Since demolishing the 2 structures previously on site, the center’s been operating out of the former gas station convenience store just east on the block, at the corner of Fannin and Alabama. (Some additional office space is also tucked inside a converted home at 3816 Fannin.)
