    See page 11 of this newletter; appears to be next to the superblock (and only minutes away from the Medical Precinct!): http://caydon.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/COR084-Portfolio-Newsletter-March-2016_DIGITAL_2.pdf?utm_campaign=CAY-General&utm_source=Caydon-EDM&utm_medium=Button&utm_content=View-Full-Newsletter_March-2016-Portfolio-Newsletter Edit: Between Art Bar and Greensheet along Main.

    Anyone remember anything about a sports lounge at 3704 Fannin? I saw something called "The Vanderbilt" on swamplot from back in 2014, but I don't think anything ever happened (based on their facebook page last being updated in 2014). Anyway, was searching the permit site (cuz ya know HAIF) and there was a permit sold for this address last week for a parking variance...use is "CNVERT REST TO CLUB / ADD 3RD FL 1-3-3-A"; owner listed as FAT property. Idk. Anyone seen any work here?

    I agree, but midtown is such an anomaly. Honestly, I've attended the church across the street for 30 years (I'm 30), and I have never set foot in that Sears. And I now live in midtown. I'm not sure what kind of retail could replace it and Fiesta or what kind of retail would want to.

    Yes; suddenly a bunch of work happened. Appears to be single family:

    I'm hung up on this one! Permit search in the zip code shows a building permit on 3508 Jackson was purchased by Loftech homes on the 5th. Address search for the old La Paz funeral home (3515 Crawford) shows that HCC is the owner of that property now. What have you people done to me?

    I know I mentioned this earlier, but the clearing catty-corner to Axelrad (that has had Caterpillars and such) has a "Ser Construction" sign on the fence around it now. Anyone have any idea what this is? Probably just utility work, but still..

    Dear Students, Colleagues and Friends, This is a defining moment in the history of UTHealth. At 10 a.m. this morning, the John P. McGovern Foundation announced a transformational $75 million gift to our Medical School and McGovern Center for Humanities and Ethics. Through 14 separate endowments, this gift will help us bolster medical training, will provide full scholarships to outstanding students and will support scientific discovery and innovation. The gift will also enhance programs at the McGovern Center, which was established in 2004 with another generous donation from the McGovern Foundation. Dr. McGovern embraced the philosophy of Sir William Osler, M.D., whose approach included patient-centered, compassionate care and appreciation of medical history and the humanities. The center serves all six of the university’s schools. In honor of the largest gift in our history, and the principles modeled by this great physician and his wife, UTHealth Medical School will be renamed theJohn P. and Kathrine G. McGovern Medical School. The formal short name will be the McGovern Medical School.

    May not really add anything and may be old news, but I was leafing through the midtown redevelopment budget and saw "Central Bank Plaza" development at $100k each year for the next 4 years. I wonder what this actually is. Probably just landscaping. Page 43 in the link: http://houstonmidtown.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/02_FY15-Budget-Ordinance-Midtown-2014-1029.pdf

    Caterpillars and other construction equipment in one of the lots catercorner from the future Axelrad today...usually marked by a Common Ground sign.

    There was a public hearing last night on a 10-year improvement plan in midtown. Anyone know what all was involved with that?

    Did no one watch 30 Rock?
  17. corbs315
    I concur! Just making sure my eyes aren't deceiving me.

    I drive by this variance request across the street from HCC Central on Crawford all the time...I guess the 3500 block of Crawford. It is next to an old funeral home (that looks like it went out of business a few months ago). Does anyone know anything about this project, and does it constitute demolishing the funeral home as well? It is called "Jackson Street Landing" on the request and was approved in July: https://www.houstontx.gov/planning/Commissions/minutes_plan15/Action_PCminutes072315.PDF

    Did this completely fizzle? Sorry to bump an old post, but just curious.
