Luxury Apartments in Shenandoah 2016

Luxury Apartments in Shenandoah ready in 2016

Construction on new luxury apartments in Shenandoah, dubbed WoodLofts, is set to begin in early 2015. The apartments will be located at I-45 and David Vetter Boulevard. “We’re still early in the design process,” said Zane Segal, of Zane Segal Projects, one of the developers of WoodLofts. “The completion date will be in the third to fourth quarter of 2016.”

WoodLofts will offer two five- and six-story apartment buildings, and will be connected by a pedestrian sky bridge. The complex will include 350 units. According to Zane Segal Projects, the first building, fronting I-45, will offer restaurants and shopping on the first floor with five levels of residence living. The second building will feature a wraparound parking garage with four stories of residence living. Both apartment complexes will feature underground parking.

The average size of an apartment at WoodLofts will be 900 square feet, and apartments range from studio-sized to three bedrooms. The apartments will feature wood flooring, island kitchens with granite countertops and cherry cabinets, built-in wine racks, walk-in showers and rain howerheads, according to Zane Segal Projects.

Outdoor amenities will include a dog park with a grooming station, a pool, whirlpool spa, outdoor gas grills and a bocce ball court. According to Zane Segal Projects, the clubhouse will feature a concierge service, a game room with multiple TVs, a cyber café and a fitness center. A high-level lounge offers views of The Woodlands and downtown Houston. “The Skylounge on the sixth floor overlooking The Woodlands will be spectacular at sunset and for parties,” Segal said.

The developers of WoodLofts include Kevin Kirton & Matthew Morgan of Buckhead Investment Partners and Carlos Gonzalez & Zane Segal of NorthGulf ZSP.

What Is This Mystery Steel Structure?

This Mystery Steel Structure on I-10 Between Bunker Hill and Blalock Is A UFO!



What is this strange muli-story steel framed structure that's been going up next to Lowe's on I-10 between Blalock and Bunker Hill - or its twin on the site of the former Casa Elena Restaurant across the freeway from The Woodlands on I-45 North?

Capitalizing on the freeway myster, the company behind the structue has set up a website at Guesswhatthisis.com (Whith indoor-skydiving facilities in 9 Other U.S. cities already, iFLY has been through the drill before.)



When complete, for a mere $60 you'll be able to hang in  mid-air in the vertical wind tunnel at the center of each iFLY indoor skydiving facility, practicing or merely acting out the skills of an actual skydiver, but with a significantly lower splat risk.





Those of you trying to figure out how the contraption works (before the structure gets covered 

up with framing) can refer to the diagram at the right, which explains how wind trubines (four 350HP 

units at the I-10 location) mounted on the top level will be able to keep you and an instructor aloft on a column of air moving at top speed of approximately 160 mph.

Enjoy A Low Cost Christmas

Reduce Energy Costs and Still Enjoy A Very Merry Christmas

Once the holidays are here, everything in our lives becomes busier and we are spending much more. With a little planning, you can save on energy consumption and cut some of those costs.   1. Christmas Lights and Displays. Lighting and displays are a major expense for many. Enjoy the spirit of the holiday while reducing your carbon footprint. Turn off lights and displays during the day. Six hours on at night is usually enough. Set timers so you don't forget. Lights - incandescent, fluorescent or LED - use more energy when left on than turning them on and off, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. And turn off lights in the room when the Christmas tree is lit. Switch to LED lights. LED lights are safer because they don't get hot, use 90% less electricity than traditional lights, last longer, are more durable and come in a variety of sizes. Instead of cutting down a real tree or using a standard artificial tree, get a fiber optic tree, which is pre-lit with LED lights and can be used for several years. In the spirit of your fiber optic tree, use fiber option decorations also. Candles are another way to add holiday lighting, inside and also outside, such as with luminarias. As beautiful as holiday light displays are, they cost. Use fewer strings of lights, and eliminate inflatable characters that require blowers around the clock. Walk around your neighborhood to look at holiday light displays, rather than getting the car out.  2. Heating. Lower the thermostat in the house. When you have guests, more body heat is generated so less energy is required to warm the house. Dress in layers and wear slippers or socks when it's just you and the family. Remember, warm air rises so the floors will be colder. When your feet are warm, you'll feel warmer. 3. Shopping. Save several ways with holiday shopping. Organize errands and shopping trips so you waste less fuel. Forty percent of all batteries are purchased during the holiday season, according to energyquest.ca.gov. Buy energy-free gifts. No batteries equals less expense.  If you do buy or receive gifts that need batteries, think about rechargeable batteries and a charger. Energy Star-certified electronics - TVs, DVD players and cordless phones - use up to 60% less electricity. Visit energystar.gov for more information. 4. Vacation. Last but not least, unplug TVs, DVD players, computers, printers, radios and other electronics before you go on vacation. Many electronics use energy even when they aren't turned on. Do you know someone who is thinking about buying or selling their home? We would love the opportunity to help!
