    Thanks @skooljunkie I'll have to check out that site. I've long been curious if there is data on when streets were completely repaved last in Houston. I assume not?

    To the north of what? Any specifics on the streets?

    So happy to see the BH spread is already happening. Hoping whoever scoops up that parcel develops it with cohesion of Northbank/100 Waugh and BH in mind. There is a great oppty here and I'm hoping it isn't wasted. The full BH site plan, while likely an early concept, is exciting.

    This might be one of the longest demos I have seen. Going on 2 months now.

    Super late on this reply, but a light rail line down Washington or Center is a poor comparison to a 4-5 story elevated structure that the HSR would have required (built OVER the existing UP ROW). Not to mention, the HSR line would not have served the Washington corridor residents whereas a light rail would on a daily basis. Most residents, including myself, were in favor of a local train service going through the neighborhood and connecting NW Transit centers with Downtown.

    In case anyone was interested in a visual

    Looking forward to seeing this when it is finally built in 2030...

    The earlier rendering also had west elm where is now East Oaks Home Goods.

    Had to think for a minute until I realized there was an error on the map where they call E 6 1/2 E 11th.

    The GFR of C and B are of most interest to me. There is zero retail/restaurant along the bayou. Can't think of anywhere along the bayou I could easily stop for food or even buy a beverage.

    The new lot behind 1818 Washington? Didnt known they paved already.

    I think these need to be merged...

    Fingers crossed!

    Limited funds are understandable, but boy oh boy is that going to be a mess to build a structure later. Not only the general construction, but the parking (with a torn up lot) will be non-existent. It's rough right now and that's without the new retail of 1818

    My contention was that the aforementioned list of GFR tenants was probably not conducive to this development as planned. That's all.

    Right, but City Centre has a large office footprint, hotels, and multiple retail locations. Lower heights doesn't have the space to accomplish something like City Centre. Buffalo Heights has a better chance.

    Other than Sawyer Lofts and the on-site MF, I just don't see the accessibility from a walking perspective. I believe that you get high volume pedestrian activity when there is a mix of work, live, and entertainment. Without significant "work" or even hotel traffic, it's just not going to get there. I personally live 1.2 miles from here and I'd only consider biking or driving. Especially in the summer. I actually will have a pretty good route along the bike trail, so I guess that is a win.

    I'd love for Houston to actually realize its potential. I just dont think the accessibility of Lower Heights is conducive to non-vehicle traffic. If it were somehow connected to downtown via rail (not bus) or ends up having a fair amount of office space then it is a different story. My personal opinion is that the surrounding area of Lower Heights basically makes it an island.

    Maybe you're right but I have a hard time believing that 7/11 and the fast casual food spots would garner the type of traffic needed. If Lower Heights ends up having the type of office and retail that city centre does? Then it's a different story. Walgreens is at Studemont and Washington, Mcdonalds is in front of kroger, chipotle is at heights/10, five guys is on Washington near Yale. Now the area is lacking an Einstein...

    I Agreeing to disagree is my favorite. 😀 But, yes, both are better than River Oaks Donuts lol

    These are GFR fits for a high foot traffic place like downtown. I'd be surprised if the bulk of them had any success at Lower Heights in the next 10 yrs. But man would it be awesome if development created enough walkable density here for them to work. Especially considering most of them are already within a .5 mile radius.

    I respectfully disagree. Krispy Kreme are gas station grade donuts 😉 If you like ultra sweet donuts hit up a shipleys in a historically Hispanic neighborhood. My experience is that those Shipleys glaze EVERY donut, similar to Krispy Kreme.

    So the Michael's, West Elm, and movie theater renderings were a farce? 🤔

    Here is the image I based my guess on:

    Guessing this is the parking lot for 1818 Washington. Didn't see an update that indicated a structure right now so I assume a paved lot. Might also be getting cleared for construction staging.
