  1. I commuted down Allen Parkway for 3+ years pre-COVID. It still has traffic jams during rush hour.
  2. WOMH was definitely on the verge of bankruptcy so this deal likely saves them.
  3. This area needs significant infrastructure improvements. I’m aware of Sawyer being redone but that’s not enough to accommodate the explosion of multi family development.
  4. Phase 2 is supposed to be an office building + EQX hotel, plus some retail. The rendering above seems to be for the hotel portion, hence the lobby + terrace yoga. So seems like plans haven’t changed, just dragging ass with no movement since last year. Though, I don’t blame them given the less than stellar occupancy at Phase 1.
  5. There’s a parking garage behind PF Chang’s, a lot across the RR tracks, and a covered lot behind Jos A Bank which almost always have adequate parking. The two lots can all easily be expanded via garage and the frontage parking can be eliminated for more pedestrian programming.
  6. Signage for Cole Haan was removed in the last week or so. All of the FedEx delivery notes on the door since the shutdown indicate that no one ever returned. Likely shut down for good. Also, doesn’t look like Alma survived more than the couple of weeks post-opening.
  7. Another option, which is more HV than Uptown, would be the space vacated by the short-lived Decadent Cafe and Dessert Bar. 4340 Westheimer Rd #150, Houston, TX 77027 Drive-thru would have to run parallel to Mid Lane, entering via parking garage
  8. Owner is the founder of Pathways For Little Feet, which provides financial assistance to families adopting orphans. https://pathwaysforlittlefeet.org/people/kerr-taylor-2/?portfolioCats=14
  9. Going to be hard to do a drive-thru in that area. Somewhere off Richmond/610 is probably their best bet. Something like: https://www.naipartners.com/media-center/press-releases/nai-partners-arranges-retail-lease-for-clutch-city-espresso-at-4733-richmond-avenue/
  10. https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2020/07/01/smartvault-lease-mkt-heights.html
  11. Eh, it’s a nice facelift that’ll improve street presence but the interior is going to remain mostly the same- a food court with added programming. Its hard to see this becoming a destination with its current tenants.
  12. Clicked through all of those links... crazy, weird shit. Convinced Lenz left the guy there before the aneurysm.
  13. Seconded on the request for a rooftop bar. Also, Houston desperately needs a proper day club (e.g. Hyde Beach at the SLS in Miami).
  14. It's at least a 1.5 year build-out. And if the franchisee of the W already obtained financing then you might as well start now, especially since the city likely attached a time-frame to the tax incentives.
  15. Would be amazing. Houston needs to embrace party culture as that’s the only practical way I see to boost tourism and make downtown vibrant.
