The area can be saved.  It's near the big airport and not far from the Woodlands.   Kinda like the Southwest area where Bellaire and Beltway meet which is the Chinatown and Little Vietnam area area and the International District which extends further south along Beltway toward Bissonnet.

Yes, if only the Richmond line could get traction.  Then everyone from Galleria moving east could have access to downtown, midtown, museum district, etc. without a car.

Until then, Uber it is!  LOL!

There is always hope for that area.  I'm not sure if Metro was the culprit for that area deteriorating because Metro does run through some affluent areas and those areas seem to remain kept up well.  

I hear the buyers are redeveloping this area into a mixed use property of offices, retail and apartments.  Perhaps more office towers in this area.  Anyone heard of anything else.  My apologies if this is already discussed.

Sidebar---good to see the Southwest upgrading those dreadful strip centers that have been there for years.

Case in point: Houston House is now below $1000 for pretty much all the 1 bedroom floor plans

Really I may consider moving downtown!!!!  I'm paying right at 1000.00 for 1 bedroom in Galleria area

Updated renderings of The Rustic opening at 1836 Polk St














Old posts about The Rustic here.

I thought the Rustic was going to be on Richmond Ave in Galleria area.  I saw it yesterday.

Everytime I go home to visit my parents in Brenham, I marvel at how fast that area has grown.  I see many bars and pubs, restaurants and retail stores out there that are in the inner loop.  I reckon development will occur along the entire 99 loop. 

Does anyone know if there will be any high rises in this area?  There is tremendous growth along the grand pkwy not to mention more homes being built.  Please merge if this has already been mentioned.  Thanks.

We're not going to get too many construction photos of this one except for ones from the highway. Any photos from inside the plant will be followed up by someone getting fired from their job

this would be correct, lol

Maybe they can do it in Hermann park or Discovery green or Memorial park? Somewhere that it doesn't flood as much?

if at Hermann park, it would cause havoc for the Med Ctr. with regards to traffic flow and shutting down roads.  they just need to tweak the dates a little bit,  maybe even make it a fall festival.

this is Houston, it's going to rain, they need to rent Reliant and do it indoors.

yes you are correct but usually in late summer around this time, it doesn't rain as much.  just brief afternoon downpours which wouldn't cause flooding issues if that.

They may need to think about making changing the dates of this festival into late summer when it doesn't rain as much.

Williams Tower is 64 floors. I guess it would depend on the crown.

Oh cool Williams tower is getting a twin and won't be so lonely sticking out from all those mid rises.  lol

For visitors and people moving to Houston, the downtown area is the large cluster of buildings at the center of the city.  Lol.  This article may shed some light on the multiple skylines here and continuing to grow.  Enjoy.

Re: Sage Park at 2121 Sage-

rumor has it that no leases will be extended past 2019 to make way for a proposed 64 story office building... anyone have any information regarding this?

we already had to move out of the old compass bank building to make way for the new one on Post Oak...now this building is supposedly the next to go...

if anyone would like to have a building torn down in Houston let me know so we can move to that building to ensure that it happens haha! 

If this happens, this building would be taller than the Williams tower, right?  I live in that area.

Anyone have renderings of this project?  Midtown may be starting to develop a skyline!

A 66-story tower would rival any building downtown and Williams. By floor count it would be the third tallest in Houston.

This would be pretty awesome!  The TMC skyline rivals that of many small cities in the USA!

So are there any renders of the project or is it going to look an awful lot like Mark Wallace?

 

 

And my second question is a pre-empt: is it going to have GFR?

Yea!  My CEO!
