Whatever the plans are they are moving full steam ahead

It’s not the permitting or the cost. It’s solely the developers risk tolerance. Radom Capital definitely sees the payoff in leasable spaces if they spend money on good design.

Project: Riverhouse Restaurant and Golf Course Location: 65 Hirsch Road Houston, TX 77020 (Previously 4100 Clinton Drive) Owner: East River Lead Ventures, LLC (Midway Companies) Architect: Phil Schawe Architect Information: Renovations and additions of an existing warehouse facility in East End Houston into a full restaurant and bar named “Riverhouse” (approximately 14,370 SF). It will anchor a public, 9-hole, par 3 golf course in Midway’s East River. This will be moving forward soon. The red dashed line on the floorplan denotes the new addition.

From Harrisburg

I wouldn't be so sure of that. Be watching for the press event where Representative Sheila Jackson Lee announces the resolution of her issues with the project by TxDoT agreeing to do things they were already committed to doing (like replacing the public housing units and paying for the residents' relocation).

Notice of Virtual Public Hearing sign has been posted. For a Mixed-Use Development.

Rice University McNair Hall Renovation Phase II

Screw Weingarten!

Am I just too impatient or is it taking longer than usual for these buildings to rise?

If you squint, tilt your head to the right, spin around three times, hop on one leg, and say "Hines" four times into a mirror it sort of looks like there's a supertall peeking out from behind the building. One can dream.

For starters, you'd need to find a much wider river than we currently have... ;-)

Yeah, anyone who drives Westheimer regularly knows it's actually only two lanes unless you're turning right.

I want floating buildings on the water with water level retail and underwater basements

Groundbreaking for "Trebly Park" because it is on block 333 and has 3 corners due to the terrible parking lot. Estimated completion of March 2022. Will include Tout Suite cafe.

Nah, let everyone find out when Karen chains herself to the tower crane.

Getting tall!

Common Bond On The Go.

Kelsey Seybold going in.

The only negative I'm looking at is this getting kicked around ten more years. Just get started so you can get it over with already.

In what way exactly (other than mandatory parking minimums) is Houston more egregious than any other city in America? I was under the impression that the city was generally more permissive than most cities when it came to permitting.

Finally appears to be some work getting done

I'm sure the engine SP 982 wouldn't have it any other way.

Yes but is that fence really to prepare it for demolition? That’s what I keep asking. It seems like it’s just there to prevent vagrants from destroying the property. The front of the church is the only area with fencing.

Really depends on your budget. The closer you get to the Greyhound Station to more crime pops up on the citizen app, but the area is changing. There's life on that side during the weekends. One Park Place with Phoenicia at your door step would be a ideal... also expensive. I bought some random cold cuts there and I still dream about them. If you like lounge bars the Four Seasons is right there along with a few eateries within a few blocks. Green Street is dead on the weekends, even the restaurants, which might be due to Covid. Discovery Green is lively and the Houston Center renos will also help. The Market Square area would be nice too since Main Street has a lot of buzz. Have you looked at Hannover Rice Village? All the retail and restaurants at your front door and very much within walking distance. Close enough to get to the Galleria area. If you need to commute to the West Loop I wouldn't recommend the East End. We have an onramp at Cullen to get on 59, but everything you need is 15 minute car ride away. I can walk to a few bars and restaurants, also to 2 light rail stations. However, the freight trains are loud and blast all night long. Were you ever in Houston, specifically the Washington corridor in the late 90s/early 00s? Area kind of reminds me of that. It's not much now but will be with time. You can't go wrong in the lower Montrose/Museum District, it's just a bit more quiet. Whatever you chose I do not recommend a property run by Greystar.

I took this photograph from the 29th-floor balcony of the Driscoll River Oaks.

I like the colors. Very festive...

Electrical permit issued for a 21 story apartment building.

Looks like a hotel from European chain Ibis.

Anyone from the Balkans should feel at home here.

This one makes more sense to me since it's cut off by freeways on 2 sides.

I need to check in with my friend who bought there, and was one of the first to move in. I used to see her several times a month, but since Covid, I've only seen her once or twice. Last time I talked to her, she loved the place, but had a fair number of small, niggling problems. But that was months ago.

They have the River Oaks Theater targeted for one of the tower locations. The other three locations are fine, but that theater is not replaceable.

Hmm...when I look up "temenos" Spanish translation, it says this: A sacred circle where one can be himself without fear A piece of land marked off from common uses and assigned as an official domain, especially to a king, chief, or god.

Interesting choice of name. Temenos in spanish means "fear us."

Would this take out the homeless service place there? That really sucks . . .

Would not a one block park be in the "multi-million" dollar range?How much is one vacant lot (parking lot) going for in downtown these days?.... Seems to me it is already in the "multi's"

Thanks, I would be very interested in seeing that. With as many residents as are planned for that area, we need another market square type park.

Post removed

since when does bellfort go all the way through?

Interesting. I've been curious about the area directly to the Southeast of this location, where buffalo Spdwy and Willowbend have been extended and now meet in the middle of what was once an old oil field. For a while there was talk of a new MPC called Buffalo Lakes, but I have seen or heard nothing about it in a while.
