Typhoon Texas Water Park At 555 Katy Fort Bend Rd.
bcnet replied to Katydogs1's topic in Katy and Points West
Expansion = more capacity = more revenue/profits even at the same ticket prices. If there is demand, yet the park is at capacity and lines become long and crowds are too large it will turn people off.- 43 replies

Post Oak Shopping Center At 1703-1751 Post Oak Blvd.
bcnet replied to suzerain's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
Hit Mooyahs for dinner tonight with the wife and kids. Wife and I each had the "junior" which is the one patty burger and is big enough for us and split a medium order of fries. The fries are great and the burger is good (better than Johnny Rockets) but nothing to write home about. I hit In-N-Out buger about ever 6 weeks or so in Phoenix as I fly there for business and I don't see the comparison. The hand leafed lettuce seem top-notch at In-N-Out while I got a couple of clumps of barely green lettuce tonight. It did seem pretty busy for a Monday. -
As a sub on this project I will also confirm this. We have been told at least 6 months of delays.

I have worked right around the corner from Ninfas for the past 10 years and have watched the gradual decline from a great place to eat to IMO a place that tastes one step above a mexican TV dinnner. Unfortunately I get dragged there for work lunches or work happy hours from time to time. Drinks are good! But better that Pappasittos??? Wow. Los Cucos is good, but I don't think their quality or service is quite Pappasitos. Still a good place to eat.

It is owned by TIAA-CREF and they are planning to build another office tower for the Four Oaks Development. BTW, there is also an offer building planned on the site of Willie G's across the street.

There was a public meeting item on the 1/17/08 COH Planning and Development meeting called: Northwest Mall Subdivision (2DEF) H C2 2007-2985 451Z City total acreage 45.0004 #lots: 0 #dwell units: 0 #acres/reserve 45.00 Applicant: Windrose Land Services Developer: Levcor Inc This item was noted as "deferred until the next meeting" which I'm guessing is May 8th. Levcor owns the mall so maybe they are looking to develop the 45 acres into a subdivsion???

Cinco Ranch High School Or Seven Lakes High School
bcnet replied to Daisy3600's topic in Katy and Points West
descovy makes a good point - don't get too set on a school, because things can change. We live in the Lake Pointe section of Cinco right off Cinco Ranch Blvd near Cinco Crossing kind of equal distance between Seven Lakes and Cinco Ranch HS. Right now we are zoned to Seven Lakes, but it wouldn't surprise me to see us bounce back to Cinco Ranch HS by the time my kids are that age due to the development around Seven Lakes....but HS 7 will be done by that time so who knows where they will end up? The good thing is that most of the schools in the general area are solid. -
The Post Oak Hotel At Uptown Houston At 1600 West Loop S.
bcnet replied to King Owl's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
That is it. The MS Live map shows it well. The office building will be were the parking lot is on the bottom left corner. Note the brown/sandy looking area in the middle is where Landry's had a temporary facility for Christmas parties you could rent out. The smaller building with the circle roof is the Rolls/Bently dealer and you can see part of Landry's headquarters in the bottom right of the shot.- 590 replies

The new Katy freeway HCTRA lanes will have demand pricing. Multi-rider cars and buses will be free, but single riders will be able to ride tolled with demand pricing adjusted enought to keep the traffic flowing in the lane. It will be interesting to see how high the tolls will get. There will be 2 full time lanes each way, then at the tolling facilities it will expand to 3 lanes so carpools will be in one lane with tolled vehicles in the other 2. Each booth will have an enformcement area. Here is more info: Katy Freeway Managed toll lanes
-
Another real world example of the HCTRA speeding up projects is the Katy Freeway expansion. Before they were involved to bring managed toll lanes down the center of the project, the expected timeline was 2003 - 2012/13 as the project would have to wait on slow moving federal highway funds. Bringing the HCTRA shaved 3-4 years off the total construction time as they can fund parts as the project as fast as the construction companies can move.

Sea-Arama Marineworld Park At 91st St. & Seawall Blvd.

The bird's eye view on MSN live maps showed the remains of Sea-Arama pretty well. I remember taking a trip there in day care when I was a tike Sea Arama -
I have to disagree. This would just be another factor in the purchase price. It would obviously demand a higher price and would most likely have build restrictions to "fit" with the developer's overall plan, but there is a number that Weingarten would definately take for the property. It just happens that due to it being part of a larger parcel, the price would be extremely high versus a similar theater in a stand-alone situation. That is the way the market works.

It is really hard to believe that a publically traded REIT would not sell a property with a good offer. It is easy to say "they won't sell". I'm sure if someone made an offer for property the Weingarten owned center that gave a better return than the investment they have made and the return they expect/project they would sell. IMO if the people against this redevelopement were serious, it seems like they would make an offer good enough to make a sale happen so they could control the property and do what they want to with it.

There are some utilities marked near the corner of Post Oak and Ambassador way and what looks like building permits on a new sign near the entrance to current shopping center off Ambassador Way. I may have to stop on my way home tonight and see what they say.
