  1. The billboard rendering has been removed and there is now a for sale sign on the property
  2. Perhaps to complement st Thomas aquinas, for which UST is named? Two of the better known thinkers in the church, it could help sell the area as sophisticated / educated.
  3. I love the look of their developments. This and the Main building have such great scale and brickwork. I hope they build more all over town!
  4. @Lux, I believe the whole development is going to have underground parking? It's possible that they excavate the underground garage as they start on the buildings, so maybe they'll come back and expand it when they start on adjacent phases.
  5. Kind of funny that they’re marketing it as Midtown sub market when it’s in River Oaks. Where did you see that Hsu was working on it?
  6. Huge step back. Previous plan would have eliminated a sea of surface parking and have continuous storefronts down 19th. The garage could have helped handle increased traffic as 19th continued to redevelop and become a vibrant destination. This new version is just another glorified strip center.
  7. Cool deal @decks05! Any hints on # of buildings and heights? Is it still 3 buildings as previously shown?
  8. I’m sure it’ll get upgraded as they build out the future phases on the east side of the development
  9. So I think this will be the eastern half of the large grass field at Sawyer & Summer. The western half looks to be occupied by the office development at 1601 Sawyer, also said to be breaking ground in Q4. There's some good info in the leasing pdf, including a massing diagram showing a ~7 story building in the spot where the residential portion is proposed.
  10. Looks like they had about 2 floors left to go on the amenities building though... Are they switching all the work over to the new crane for the tower? Or (I hate asking) is this project going to get sidelined...?
  11. Wow that's an awesome photo. I would guess that's sometime between 1971 and 1975, as 3 Greenway is built and 5 Greenway is under construction. You can see they've excavated most of the basement under 3/5GW and the foundation for the towers is in place.
  12. On that note, I did see a soil testing rig near the corner of Argonne & Westheimer in that parking lot (1 lot W of this proposed development) a few months back. I didn’t want to needlessly bump this thread at that time. But yes, Shanghai Rivers plot may not be far behind the antique pavilion’s...
  13. Looks like student housing to me. That plus the Cougar red makes me think it’ll be near UH. Edit: I’d bet it’s the southwest corner of Scott and Elgin
  14. I think a Trader Joe’s could fit the space nicely
  15. Downtown, Midtown, and the Museum District have all been recently updated with 3D models in Google Maps. It looks great!
  16. I thought the office portion was cut to make way for a ~15 story residential building? Is the office back on the table? Doesn’t look like there’s room for both.
  17. Shasta clearly has a bone to pick with UT. They must still feel the sting of receiving that rejection letter years ago 😢
  18. I had thought so too, but that's actually the Broadstone Memorial Park, at the 7700 block of Washington
