Yes, the Arby's closed down. Also, I think one or two of the wine-bars imbedded in the Towncenter itself have closed down. I agree the competition is fierce. I'm actually surprised we haven't seen more casualties.

A Dairy Queen is being built between Popeye's and Burger King on Broadway just in front of the Pearland Towncenter. Ground has broken and I'd guesstimate it may open by late summer/early fall 2011.

Alvin ISD Purchases Land For New School
Timnwendy replied to Timnwendy's topic in Coastal Prairie and Bay
Taylor-Morrison came into Southern Trails late last year, and they are teaming with Newmark Homes Houston to develop the last sections of the Enclave. That's what you are seeing. New road extensions and utilities are going in now. Lots of home construction will be occuring there this year (and the next few). I don't know where the land behind your brick wall is located. But if your wall borders Broadway, it probably will remain greenway. -

I agree it's good, but lets not get hasty. Another referendum will need to be passed by the voters so AISD actually has the funds to begin building the high school. Or so I have been told. -
Looks like the plans to add toll lanes to Hwy 288 have been put on hold. http://www.ultimatepearland.com/2010/06/texas-288-toll-road-plan-hold

This is a good example of how these kinds of drives for 'shows of support' can actually cause more confusion and harm than they do good. I'm not really sure what they were trying to accomplish by soliciting for this support anyway.

I'd bet that wasn't the announcement Mr. Goswick intended, but I get your sarcasm. Well, I guess I am in good company among the ranks of the disappointed.

It closed back in 2009. I seem to recall it closed during the summer...

One of my neighbors just told me it has been closed since right after the Superbowl. It's not the first casualty in the restaurant wars going on around the Town Center and Silverlake. And it's sure not to be the last casualty, either.

I heard that the Arby's at the Pearland Town Center has closed. Supposedly there is a sign on the door. Can anyone confirm this?

Alvin ISD Purchases Land For New School
Timnwendy replied to Timnwendy's topic in Coastal Prairie and Bay
Today I received this reply from the Alvin ISD, which makes it clear the schematic is only a conceptual draft. We'll have to continue to watch this project unfold, especially when the next bond referendum comes up for it. Future High School #3 for Alvin ISD has not yet been designed. The early draft that Mayor Reid was using was only "conceptual", to demonstrate that all of the amenities for a 5A high school will fit on the site. Funding for construction of this school will be part of a future bond election and may look nothing like the exhibit that Mayor Reid was using. There are no other drawings available at this time. There is much more planning and work to be done. Thanks for your interest and support. -

On Feb. 18th, 2010, Mayor Reid gave a presentation which included the slide I have attached to this post. The slide discusses the new high school which Alvin ISD will build between The Pearland Towncenter and Southern Trails. What is interesting is the schematic of the footprint of the high school upon the 70 acres in the land parcel. The schematic shows the placement of buildings and sports facilities on the property. The street you see running north/south just west of the tennis courts and soccer fields is Bright Landing Lane, in the Sage Meadows section of Southern Trails. Today I contacted Pearland City Planning about the schematic, to ascertain if it is a mock-up, an early draft, etc. They told me they got it from the Alvin ISD. I have a call in to the Alvin ISD to get more information. Meanwhile, the city told me that Alvin ISD has not sent in a building plan for formal application of a building permit for the school. So it seems logical this schematic is only a draft. I will post a follow up when I learn more. -
One of my neighbors emailed the developer, David Goswick, to ask about the delay. Here is the reply he got. We have been delayed due to the economy. However, we will make several exciting announcements in February. In the meantime, we are leeting our good neighbors (the church) use our signs until next week. Stay tuned. Thank you for the interest. David Goswick<BR style="mso-special-character: line-break">

Thanks for the update. I know someone who recently became a member of the PEDC. I asked him about the status of this project, and he said it is still coming, but it has been slowed by the recession. Hardly a revelation, I know.
