Developer Checking Out All Avenues for 328,000-SF Former Hospital Conversion

HOUSTON-Developer Sam Luftak now owns the property, but he's just not sure what he's going to do with a 328,000-sf former hospital. It will be converted, but he's cautiously weighing the options: 280-room hotel or office space.

HOUSTON-The old St. Anthony’s Center Hospital at 6301 Almeda, just east of the Texas Medical Center has been snapped up by Sam Lutfak of Interloch Realty Corp. from Windor Residential.

The 11-story structure sits on 5.5 acres. It will be converted – but Lutfak hasn’t decided to what. “At first I thought it would make a nice hotel,” Lutfak told GlobeSt.com. “It has 328,000 sf and is close to the Medical Center. I was thinking of a 280-room hotel with ballroom and lots of meeting space. The building’s in good shape and it has an 18-foot ceiling on the ground floor and 13-foot ceiling on the other floors.”
