    Does anyone have an idea of how many of these residential units are going up now? I know of Alliance, Finger, Alexan, and...?

    I am so excited about this project!

    Not even close... I mean if a bunch of mid rise residential, a few bars, and a Buffalo Wild Wings is considered game changing than our expectation is extremely low... What I mean by game changers are developments that could spur taller developments. I think MATCH solidifies Midtown as a registered arts district instead of just having a title and nothing to really show for it yet. Secondly a central gathering place is vital to building a quality neighborhood. That's where the superblock park comes in to play. Both of these developments tied in with whats already growing around them will enhance Midtown exponentially.

    Yes lol ALL OF THEM! No but in all seriousness, these two projects for this area will basically lay the foundation for the neighborhood... Kinda like the Market Square tower and the Finger residential near MMP, both of those will help stabilize downtown for future growth IMO

    Game changer... The next game changer is the Super Block Park

    What the heck? I have a few friends who go there

    Wow nice density in this part of Midtown... I like how a lot of these developments are centered around the central rail station
  8. j_cuevas713
    So the field in the pic is where the park is going?
  9. j_cuevas713
    I like how developments are popping up along Almeda

    Wow that's easily one of the coolest buildings I've seen
  11. j_cuevas713
    GREAT NEWS!
  12. j_cuevas713

    I wish this was breaking ground tomorrow. Sigh
  14. j_cuevas713
    Can they start on this already!?!?
  15. j_cuevas713
    Yeah I went ahead and checked a couple of development websites and they all say May 2014, lets keep our fingers crossed, this would be huuuuuuuge!
  16. j_cuevas713
    There's gonna be residential going up across the street next month!
  17. j_cuevas713
    Oh and if this project is for real, then this along with the Market Square residential is going to be amazing. Is there an exact start date, or can we just expect something next month?

    I think economically it will happen on its own. We all know that everything revolves around the almighty dollar. Once the Sunset Coffee building is complete, you can expect smaller developments to follow suit. I find it such an honor to know that our city has one of the top ten public green spaces in America. We are really growing in a smarter way and at a fast rate. This is my theory on the entire situation of what is "Houston." Houston has no zoning, yet the lack of zoning has almost been a plus in the development of some very unique neighborhoods. Sure its created some undesirable areas, but because the city filling in so nice with newer walk friendly developments, the old run down areas of the city are being transformed as well. Just driving down West Alabama and Kirby the other day I saw a small glimpse of where this city is headed. Houston is a very nice city.

    This project and MATCH are some real game changers for Midtown because we are starting to see more stable long term investment in Midtown as a registered arts district. Houston is definitely placing itself in a league of its own in this state. I've seen this city lose its identity some 25+ years ago and come back with a new identity of who we are as Houstonians. And to get back on topic, let's just agree that the light rail will continue to spur development that will only continue to offset the price tag of the construction of the system itself.

    The homeless were always really nice to me any time I wandered that direction. But in any case, its best if they move along and allow this area to be a bit more appealing to those that want to embrace what this city has to offer.

    Hopefully this new development brings business back to the shopping center next door.
  23. j_cuevas713
    That AT&T building such an eyesore, it takes away from the buildings that all have similar architecture.
  24. j_cuevas713
    That's a great point because I drove by today and thought the same thing. It's not like that area surrounding the tower is ugly, but it is in dire need of some connecting developments with its surroundings. I think this tower is going to create that connection.

    No, we are just killing them when it comes to downtown redevelopment. And they are trying with all their might to make "Uptown" Dallas the happening spot, when in reality, its pretty lame
