    Good job. I can picture that although the skinny view would show except for the face of the building.

    On the 1600 block of Westheimer. I'm pretty sure Mid Century Modern Furniture was there before. The exterior of the place is painted all black now with a Duo awning. West of American Apparel.

    I am guessing he is talking about the River Oaks mixed use on Kirby and Westheimer?.?.

    about 3 weeks ago.

    I agree with Red. It would have more of an impact if sustainable retail hit first but it will be nice to have a mix. How is FineSilver Gallery doing in Midtown at the bottom of Isabella? I am sure the difference is, FineSilver is unfortunately surrounded by wholesale shops and vacant lots.

    They are now located at dunlavy and Westheimer across the street from Cafe Brasil right next door to American Apparel. It's the building where Mid Centtury Modern Furniture use to be. It's more Main at Dallas across the street from Macy's on Main.

    I agree. This is why I said I am grateful to hear these problems that have to do with a lack of regulations and zoning are finally surfacing naturally. We've already been there before. It's not a bus, and that is why people are attracted to it. Even the mayor of transit rich London understands the appeal of public transportation that strays away from the look of a bus. It still has the negative attributes such as catering to the poor, they're dirty and no one takes them except for the "ideologically driven weirdos".

    Dude I get it. Seriously I do, but if MacGowen Station to Wheeler Station was developed in a manner where it complimented the Red Line, you would not have to be "ideologically driven" to just give up your car to walk to the Grocery store. I am sure you can come up with reasons why this does not currently happen in a city like Houston vs a city like Portland Oregon or San Diego other than the reason those people are just weird.

    I am kind of grateful that these isssues are starting to actually evolve and people are taking notice. I agree with largeTEXAS. It is amazing how neglected transit routes are neglected in this city as if development and PT cannot coexist.

    You best believe you will probably see flags on the lightpoles that say Houston Pavilions District.

    I was thiking the same thing. The Medical Center has more than that. Isn't it about triple that #?

    That is not exactly an 'of course' or given. Especially for someone who was just returning after years of being in downtown and hearing about all the progress. 2:30 in any other downtown would still usually be peak hours. To be fair we still have a bustling tunnel system unfortunately, our retail for the most part is still confined to the lunch crowd, and don't expect Downtown's 3000-4000 residents to jam pack the streets.

    I'm confused as to where it is also since there are zero parking lots on Smith Street except pass Wortham Theater.
  14. WesternGulf
    Its the same sign. Graffiti and all, but it is interesting that Sarnoff mentioned it.
  15. WesternGulf
    OMG. LOL. Forever 21 Men is the same almost.
  16. WesternGulf
    I think we can say this will be a step above Bayou Place. Bayou Place may be in the Theater District but the aea is dead even when the 9-5 crowd is around. Those three parkng lots almost had more ped traffic Monday through Friday than Bayou Place. Let's just wait until the rest of the tenants are released. Yes it seems like it is oversaturated with restaurants, but the fact that soft goods retail such as Forever XXI has signed on is a good sign and hopefully more will come.

    They aren't clearing out the current space? That seems like too much to me also.
  18. WesternGulf
    That's it.
  19. WesternGulf
    That said, the tenants do seem a little specific as far a 20-30 screen theater. Denver's is 15 isn't it. Plus is a local in the list such as Yao's.
  20. WesternGulf
    Relax? I'm just curious. With HOB, Lucky Strike Lanes, Yaos, Red Cat, Antica Osteria, McCormick & Schmick's, Tuscany, and Lawry's already announced, I thought these tenants would take up a lot of space alone. With Lucky and HOB taking up about 65,000 square feet by themselves, I am pretty sure these are some of the largest tenants and maybe a bookstore, I would be surprised if that list of other tenants would fit with what has already been announced. After looking at the Denver layout, some stores look a little claustrophobic, so I guess it can work after all.

    As far as the key tenants, I do not tink those are guaranteed for the Pavilions. Those are just some of the tenants that usually make their way to pavilion projects. The one in Denver does not even have all those tenants I believe. Plus, with the announcements that have been made as far as who have signed with the project, do you all really believe all of those stores listed as key tenants can fit with what has already been released in 350,000 square feet of retail. House of Blues alone is over 40,000 square feet correct?

    I agree 1stWord. Anyone know the success of Nashville's train that started last year? I thought it was kind of funny since there were no rail services in town, although the train does drop commuters in downtown Nashville.
  23. WesternGulf
    The Camden Super Block will probably be like the Camden Tuscany in Little Italy San Diego. One of their few mixed use projects. Camden Tuscany: Neighborhood shots: While we are talking about this do you all think this is really still going to happen or did someone just notice the sign?
  24. WesternGulf
    Yeah that sign has been there just as long.
  25. WesternGulf
    I am just waiting for the state to atleast surface plans for commuter rail services. Although there are other suburbs that could use the service far more than Pearland, 288 is the perfect route to shoot a train to the Fanin South Rail Yard to connect with the Red Line.
