    Interesting that they did not include the old Gingerman (RIP) spot in this as well since I believe Rice owns that too

    Random question that just occurred to me - seems like Methodist is the biggest med center player that is not involved (as far as I know) with Helix park - is there a reason they aren't involved? Do they not do as much research as the others and are more clinical focused?

    Whoa - pretty ambitious. The ferry wait times have always been a nightmare over Summer months, so maybe an airport might make sense for some owners?

    Latest view of the restaurant

    Any insight on the building? Does not appear to have any work done at all over past several months

    Looks like they may be starting work on the standalone restaurant

    Any word on what's to become of the spot where the Gingerman was? Shame that had to close

    Spotted a sign for the development up

    It's gotten to the point that I wish they would just turn the lights off. They are so messed up whenever I drive through there - it makes the city look bad by in effect highlighting for all to see how dysfunctional the city's maintenance of infrastructure is

    I haven't kept actual count, but I'm pretty sure that every time I've gone under the bridges for the past year, there has been at least 1 (and usually more) flaws in the lighting (led light sections out or wrong color or off the program...etc) Did they make the system too complex? I think I would have preferred a simpler lighting system that worked and didn't distract from the experience with it's "problems"

    Aren't they adding parking under the astrodome that would help alleviate that issue?

    The hard copy paper version mentioned specifically that they anticipated the Bissonnet location would get redeveloped and cited its proximity to West U, but without zoning since it's in Houston "Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages plans to close its two existing plants, one off Bissonnet and the other off Gulfgate, after moving its production and distribution operations to Pinto Business Park." https://www.chron.com/business/real-estate/article/Coca-Cola-to-build-1M-square-foot-bottling-plant-12955383.php

    Any hope of tying this into the light rail somehow? It's not that far to Fannin from the site - maybe a shuttle/trolley, or moving sidewalks....I guess you have to get all the way to Fannin x Pressler for the closest station though. Hopefully this jump starts some further redevelopment of that stretch between Fannin and Bertner

    What's "the new Phase II development of that district"? Do they mean just the renovations, or is there something else afoot?

    Hopefully oil and gas interests will get involved now as I can't imagine they will like the precedent of having the legislature take away eminent domain authority, even on an exception basis just for this project. This whole mess just depresses me with NIMBYs everywhere. Maybe they can find a Richmond routing for the HSR that will take it through Afton Oaks on the way to downtown!
