More apartments, condo, boutique hotel planned for Australian developer’s Midtown Houston project

Melbourne, Australia-based Caydon released details on what else is in store for its three-block development in Midtown, across from Midtown Park.

Along with the 27-story high-rise under construction at 2850 Fannin, Caydon is planning three more apartment high-rise towers, a condo project and a boutique hotel in a mixed-use development called Laneways.

Laneways will include restaurants, green spaces and retail options designed to reflect the streets of Melbourne. Caydon will break ground in early 2020.

"We are designing a mixed-use development inspired by the iconic pedestrian Laneways in Melbourne with coffeeshops, boutiques, wellness concepts and wine bars," Joe Russo, principal of Caydon, said in an emailed statement. "Melbourne’s lanes are also home to an eclectic mix of high-rise residences and boutique hotels."

Caydon has secured about 3.5 acres of land in Midtown for Laneways over the past few years. Last summer, it closed on a 0.7-acre site at 2711 S. Main St., the current home of Art Supply on Main.

The first phase, the $200 million, 357-unit apartment project, will open by September. Caydon still hasn’t released an official name for its first stateside project, a spokeswoman confirmed.

Russo counts about 200 condo units and 200 hotel rooms in the next phase. He said Caydon plans to announce its hotel operator partner soon.

Last October, Caydon told HBJ it was eyeing the Museum District, Montrose and Midtown for future projects.

Kimpton Hotels to open first Houston property in Midtown
By Nancy Sarnoff

Published 9:36 am CDT, Thursday, October 3, 2019

Boutique hotel company Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants announced plans Thursday to open its first project in Houston as part of a multi-block development under way in Midtown.

The San Francisco-based operator of more than 60 hotels worldwide will partner with Australian developer Caydon on the project, which could open at the end of 2022.

The Houston hotel will have 204 guest rooms, a restaurant and café, a rooftop pool and bar and more than 14,000 square feet of meeting space, Kimpton said.

"Houston is the ideal place to expand our Texas footprint," Kimpton CEO Mike DeFrino said in an announcement. "Midtown is quickly solidifying its place as the heart of the city, and its diverse cosmopolitan vibe fits perfectly with Kimpton's brand of hospitality."

Laneways, named after the pedestrian alleys of Melbourne, is Caydon's multi-phase residential, hospitality and retail complex slated for three blocks bounded by Tuam, Main, Fannin and McGowen.

Caydon recently opened its first tower there, Drewery Place, a $200 million, 27-story apartment building.

Last month, a Caydon spokeswoman said the next phase of Laneways would be a combination boutique hotel with apartments. That building, she said, could be as tall as 48 stories.
