The Allen: Allen Pkwy/Gillette Mixed Use 6 acres
CaptainJilliams replied to skooljunkie's topic in Going Up!
That's a shame. That plot of land will still benefit from infill and it's good news to hear things seem to be moving forward, but I'm definitely concerned with how it will look now. Hopefully, they provide updated renderings come the time that leasing office opens. -

So does that mean that: (1) We will see a shorter/redesigned version of the tower or (2) Cheaper materials will be used or (3) All of the above? -
I wish there was a rendering or something of what's going up on this site! Either way, exciting to see the steel go up so quickly.

^ This. Yes please.

I don't think anyone has confirmed yet, but it almost certainly looks like a leasing office. -
Baba Yega has new owners? New construction at Gray and STanford.

The article ended on a hopeful note saying the owners plan to reopen sometime "next year". But that's about as vague as it gets. -
708 / 712 Main Renovation - The Jones on Main
CaptainJilliams replied to Texasota's topic in Downtown
A fair argument for sure. A lot of it does come down to location and convenience, but at the end of the day, the only way these food venues can do business is if customers value the food more than they value their money. Time will only tell how successful Finn is. I'll have to swing by sometime this weekend and see for myself. -

Hines Block 42 Residential High-Rise: 46-stories
CaptainJilliams replied to brijonmang's topic in Going Up!
Despite the changes, this is still a pretty beautiful tower. It'll be a great addition to this area of town! -
When did it ever close? At least from Google it indicates they are still open.

^ Thank you for such a valuable contribution. (Also, haven't trees coexisted with the blvd arches for years already? Is this supposed to be new insight?)
