What the New Commerce St. Old Folks Apartments Will Look Like to the Middle Schoolers Across the Street from Them

08/22/18 3:00pm
by Dan Singer



PLANS FOR the 3-story Campanile on Commerce apartments slated for the corner of Commerce and Delano streets are still winding their way through the city’s approval process, but a new strip of imagery shows what they’d look like viewed from the magnet school across the street from them. The idea is to put 220 120 units on the vacant 3-acre field extending directly north and east of the Baylor College of Medicine Biotech Academy at Rusk (which recently dropped its pre-K through 5th grade programs to go middle-school-only). A corner porte-cochere depicted above on the right would front Commerce adjacent to the complex’s entrance driveway.

Photos: River Oaks Baptist School to start $65M expansion in November

By Fauzeya Rahman – Reporter, Houston Business Journal
Sep 10, 2018, 8:09am CDT

River Oaks Baptist School plans to start construction on its $65 million expansion likely sometime in November, said Leanne Reynolds, head of school. The school still has about $1 million left to fundraise for the project, which will add a new middle school with underground parking garage and a separate Leadership Center to its campus, she said.

Houston-based W.S. Bellows Construction recently filed a $50 million permit with the city of Houston. So far, the school’s $64 million in fundraising has come from a mix of foundations and individual donors, some of which will have naming rights to certain things, though Reynolds said that information wasn’t finalized yet.

The expansion will add around 160,000 square feet to the school, essentially doubling the footprint of the pre-K-through-eighth grade campus, she said. The four-story middle school will have separate floors for each grade, fifth through eighth, with spaces designed for active, project-based learning. Furniture will be movable, floors will be rubber, and each level will be in a different bright color, such as plum, orange, turquoise or green. The expansion will also add a guard entrance to the Westheimer side of the property.

Each floor will have its own science lab and outdoor terrace, landscaped and designed around the curriculum of that particular grade level, Reynolds said. Along with the middle school, a new Leadership Center will house administrative staff and other departments in an open-concept design.

The middle school will sit on top of its own parking garage for faculty and staff, which will be underground to maximize green space in an urban environment, Reynolds said.

Site of former Heights tortilla factory sold to developer for future apartments

By Fauzeya Rahman – Reporter, Houston Business Journal
Sep 27, 2018, 7:55am CDT
A 2-acre strip of land in the Heights where a tortilla factory once ran will soon be cleared to make way for a new eight-story apartment building.

Phoenix-based Alliance Residential bought the site of the former La Espiga de Oro factory Sept. 26, said Luke Phillippi, development director. He plans to break ground on the project off 15th Street and North Shepherd within the next 30 days.

Alliance bought the roughly 2-acre tract from Lira Real Estate Inc. In 2017, the company's president, Alfredo Lira, along with his wife, daughter and a night manager, pleaded guilty to hiring undocumented workers at the factory between 2011 and 2015. The company forfeited $1 million and paid a separate $85,360 to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for safety violations, a 2017 press release from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement stated. Phillippi said this didn't impact the sale in any way, adding that it was a typical land transaction.

Alliance's 337-unit apartment building will feature Spanish and Mediterranean architecture elements, Phillippi said. Apartments will range in size from about 600 to 1,200 square feet, with rental rates likely starting around $1,400 and going up to $2,400. The building’s amenities — including a pool, grilling stations, fire pit and outdoor pizza oven — will be on the top floor of the parking garage.

Houston-based EDI International designed the building, and Alliance is serving as its own general contractor. The project’s construction loan will be through JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Why American Cancer Society’s Houston Hope Lodge was delayed until now




By Cara Smith – Reporter, Houston Business Journal
Oct 4, 2018, 1:56pm CDT

The American Cancer Society's long-awaited Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation Hope Lodge in Houston, which will provide free lodging for cancer patients, will deliver in Houston later than expected.

Vertical construction on the $30 million facility is scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2018, an American Cancer Society spokesperson told the Houston Business Journal. The facility's official groundbreaking took place in October 2017, but since then, only routine site work has taken place, the spokesperson said. The facility is underway on 2.05 acres at 6801 Ardmore St. near the Texas Medical Center.

The spokesperson cited permitting issues as the reason for the construction delay. The Houston Hope Lodge should be open to patients in January 2020, the spokesperson said. Houston-based Tellepsen is the general contractor, and Chicago-based Perkins & Will Inc. is the architect.

The Houston Hope Lodge's construction, development and initial operational costs are being funded through a $40 million capital campaign that Houston Texans owner Bob McNair and his wife, philanthropist Janice McNair, launched in 2012. The campaign is $3.6 million away from reaching its $40 million goal, the spokesperson said.

Minnesota-based The Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation, which was founded by Best Buy founder Dick Schulze, committed a $10 million one-to-one challenge grant to name Houston's Hope Lodge.

Sam Houston State University to begin construction on medical school building in Conroe

By Jen Para – Web producer, Houston Business Journal
Oct 3, 2018, 10:51am

By the end of the year, Sam Houston State University in Huntsville will have broken ground on a building in Conroe to house its proposed College of Osteopathic Medicine.

When the structure is complete, the university will have a five-story, 216,000-square-foot building situated on 7.3 acres within Houston-based Johnson Development Corp.’s Grand Central Park master-planned community in Conroe, according to a press release. The initial investment cost is $65 million, a spokesperson said. The property is on the former Camp Strake site, north of The Woodlands, on Interstate 45 just south of South Loop 336.

The structure will be split into two phases "with substantial completion by December 2019," per the release. The first phase calls for 108,000 square feet with surface parking, and the second phases will add 108,000 square feet and a parking garage.

Houston-based Vaughn Construction was the general contractor, and the design team was Page and Slam Collaborative, the spokesperson said.

What To Do With A Former Sears Flagship? Redevelop It To Anchor An Innovation District

Cynthia Lescalleet
Contributor


The former Sears building in Houston's Midtown awaits its repurposed future as anchor of Midtown Innovation District, a project by Rice University and partners.CALPIX

As Sears’ remaining stores nationwide face their fates under the department store chain’s bankruptcy protection filing, Houston’s previously shuttered flagship in Midtown – and surrounding property – will be re-positioned as an innovation district for the city.

The idea is to concentrate educational, business, financial and civic resources to attract and support talent, startups, state-of-the-art resources, networking, training and programs.

The $100 million redevelopment project, now designated as Midtown Innovation District, sits at the heart of an emerging innovation corridor for startups, an “ecosystem” envisioned by academic, business and city leaders for a four-mile stretch between downtown and Texas Medical Center.

Rice University, which spearheaded the district project, has long-owned the 9.4-acre Sears Midtown site through Rice Management Co., the entity that stewards the endowment of $5.8 billion (as of June 2017). It more recently purchased adjacent parcels and will finance and manage the district project.


Now occupying nearly 14 acres, the site is on a Metro transit line, near freeways, and within three miles of the city’s academic institutions.

Rice University President David Leebron has called the innovation district an asset for the city, not just the university.

In a recent memo to faculty, staff and students, Leebron briefly updated the project’s status, saying the 1939 vintage Sears building will be fully renovated as anchor to the redevelopment. Meanwhile, the university is working with nine other Houston academic communities on ways to engage in the district.

Citywide partners and collaborators in the planning – both before and since the announcement earlier this year – include Greater Houston Partnership, HX and digital tech incubator Station Houston.

Houston's Revitalized Levy Park Co-Earns ULI's Urban Spaces Award

Cynthia Lescalleet
Contributor



As re-imagined and revitalized by its recent $15 million redo, Houston's Levy Park has earned an Open Space Award from Urban Land Institute.CALPIX

Houston's Levy Park, a 5.9-acre urban oasis that reopened in 2017 after a $15 million revitalization, earned an Urban Spaces Award for 2018 from Urban Land Institute (ULI).

The worldwide competition recognizes "successful, large- and small-scale public spaces that have socially enriched and revitalized the economies of their surrounding communities," according to Tuesday's announcement materials.

Madrid Rio Park was a co-winner. Other finalists included Ricardo Lara Park in Lynwood, Calif., which won for community impact; Quequechen River Rail Trail in Fall River, Mass.; and Baxi River Forest Island in Changsha, China.

On Tuesday, ULI announced the winners at its annual meeting, held in Boston.

“This award validates the vision that several forward-thinking individuals had for Levy Park as an idyllic community haven in the heart of Houston," says Stephanie Kiouses, Levy Park's director, in the announcement. "The park's user-friendly design, variety of adult and children’s programming and welcoming spirit have drawn people in and keep them coming back."


A revitalized Levy Park opened in February 2017, was rebuilt with public funds and is sustained by private lease agreements, primarily with the Midway Companies. Midway developed two properties adjacent to the park, one a 16-story office building with ground floor restaurant, the other a multi-family complex of 270 units.

More than 7,000 visitors a week (and more during school breaks) visit the park to enjoy its grounds, gardens, playscapes (for people and pets), free programming and events. Levy Park is a City of Houston Park and part of the Houston Parks and Recreation Department. Its operated by the Levy Park Conservancy, an affiliate of the Upper Kirby District Foundation and responsible for the park's maintenance, operation and programming.
