  1. Okay, no one say anything bad about this. I NEED this to happen. A tear wells up in my eye every time I have to look at this building and that old Central Bank Building.
  2. Jalapeno's just had their auction to sell off all their restaurant furniture and equipment. That whole superblock will be razed to make way for development. Is this a new trend? Basically, this is what they're doing on Post Oak @ San Felipe (where Eatzi's and Cafe Annie are). [Except, on Post Oak, the strip had viable businesses.] The dreams of the Upper Kirby District may finally be coming true!
  3. I believe Camden has broken ground on its development here. It should help to connect the 4th Ward to Midtown. I heard that retail is going to be integrated, running down a street that will geographically run between and thus connect Midtown/West Gray @ Bagby areas. Now, if Camden would just break ground on the huge Superblock Development off Main Street, that would help unite East and West Midtown, help "legitimize" the light rail to its constant critics (one of which I am not), and catalyze more development. Help us Camden! Help the city that you call home !
  4. As I recall, the space was originally intended to be developed like Bayou Place Phase I. However, I thought I read something in the Business Journal that it was going to be used primarily as office space. I don't have the article. Personally, I was hoping something along the lines of an ESPN Zone or something was going to move in. I guess not.
  5. Agreed. However, we should invite one of their reps to begin participating in this thread. Maybe when they realize all of the interest and anxiety that exists, they'll be moved to make an announcement! Yeah! That's it!.... The 10 year lease agreement is a good positive sign. There's a good buzz, good buzz....
  6. The land was sold and Central Parking no longer owns the lots. If this project doesn't get built, then something else will. Any development in a horizontal direction--anything other than a parking lot--should be considered progress.
