PROJECT OVERVIEW
Kaldis Development rehabilitated and adapted the historic property at 711 Milby Street in Houston’s East End into a mixed-use destination with leasable office and retail spaces. Ryan’s Historic Tax Credits team consulted on $1 million in federal historic tax credits and $1.3 million in state historic tax credits for the $9.8 million rehabilitation.
Next to the former Maxwell House coffee plant, the property now houses several local businesses, including Segunda Coffee Lab, Shop Local, Cargo, and Keller Williams Houston. Originally manufactured by Truscon Steel Company, the property served as the headquarters for Cameron Iron Works from 1935 until 1946. Credited with inventing the blowout preventer, Cameron Iron Works was founded at the site by Harry Cameron and James Abercrombie in 1920.
