  1. BBP's finalized plan for the East Sector is set to release in the next couple of months and took East River into major consideration as far as I have heard.
  2. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/article/Hemp-company-to-begin-processing-in-old-Maxwell-14132473.php?utm_source=sftwitter&utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_medium=referral
  3. This is great. A few notes. 1. There is a pedestrian bridge crossing from the south side of the bank to the north. 2. A dog park is listed (originally, buffalo bayou partnership said no dog parks in their program) 3. The Kayak launch. 4. Outdoor movies being a re-purpose of the Silos makes a lot of sense after their art display there. I really like that there will be plenty of green space to absorb water versus going all concrete and I'm very happy to see a good developer utilizing the land.
  4. https://www.eastenddistrict.com/wp-content/uploads/June-2019-Board-Meeting-Agenda.pdf Looks like the board will be looking to approve the selection of the committee assigned to the project this Thursday.
  5. I think one of these developers is going to buy both properties eventually but if we have all of these projects finished first, people moving in are going to take some time to get used to it. That park is completely a waste unless there is an event going on. I'm not sure what could be done to fix this issue except as mentioned above both properties on Jensen being bought out.
  6. Yea that makes sense, the lot with the metal structure on it? Additionally I was wondering if the lot east of Jensen and south of the Bayou in front of the existing town homes was a possibility. I've seen some activity there and despite there being an advertising for another company, I couldn't find anything about them online.
  7. Does anyone know where the second planned project is? They are calling it "East Bayou." I really hope that the health amenities (Yoga etc) they speak of become available to the public to use. This area is kind of lacking in the health options that EaDo seems to be collecting.
  8. With Yoga in mind for the developer. I would love to see Black Swan make their way over to the East Side. They offer pay $10 or more as a "donation" when you go to a class and provide people an opportunity to practice Yoga without a huge commitment.
  9. I don't love the idea of it being in the bayou. Seems like it is so wide that it would take up nearly all of the channel. This would place a burden on any potential for a focus on kayaking. I think if it were moved to this area it would be inside of the museum as a focal point.
  10. Updated listing on loopnet. Looks better than the most recent rendering. Still no new tenants listed. https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/2929-Navigation-Blvd-Houston-TX/4614746/
  11. I'm still holding out hope that the movie theater is the first Alamo Drafthouse inside the loop. The Maritime Museum originally planned to break ground in mid 2018 and open in late 2019, so maybe that gives us a timeline of the first phase? With groundbreaking underway maybe we can see some stuff begin to open in late 2020 or early 2021. That's much earlier than I had originally expected.
  12. http://eastriverhtx.com/ site has been updated with two brochures https://midwaycompanies.sharepoint.com/sites/Marketing/East River/Forms/AllItems.aspx?id=%2Fsites%2FMarketing%2FEast River%2FCollateral%2FBrochures%2FLeasing%2FOffice%2F190319 EastRiver - Office - CES Folder%2F190319 EastRiver - Office Spreads - CES.pdf&parent=%2Fsites%2FMarketing%2FEast River%2FCollateral%2FBrochures%2FLeasing%2FOffice%2F190319 EastRiver - Office - CES Folder&p=true&cid=9320239a-9036-4f2f-8242-bf35b47ee0be https://midwaycompanies.sharepoint.com/sites/Marketing/East River/Forms/AllItems.aspx?id=%2Fsites%2FMarketing%2FEast River%2FCollateral%2FBrochures%2FLeasing%2FRetail%2F190424 East River Retail - CES Folder%2F190424 East River Retail Spreads - CES.pdf&parent=%2Fsites%2FMarketing%2FEast River%2FCollateral%2FBrochures%2FLeasing%2FRetail%2F190424 East River Retail - CES Folder&p=true&cid=7e5b89a3-aa12-4c86-82ed-217a510eca4d
  13. I really hope we get pretzels here. Mongoose versus Cobra has my favorite in town.
  14. agreed. I don't think this location is terrible because it is right off the transit and it's not bothersome but... The Heights recently protested one near white oak bayou and I believe the developer pulled back the scale at the least. Critical Mass (the monthly bike ride) had moved to the Heights from Downtown and they protested, so the city dumped them in the East End. It's pretty frustrating as a resident of the neighborhood that whatever the Heights doesn't want they just place it in the East End and decide that no one in the East End will protest quite like the Heights.

  17. https://www.eastenddistrict.com/wp-content/uploads/April-Board-Mtg.-Agenda.pdf 13. B. 3. is a note that they will report on the roundabout in the board meeting this week. http://tirz23.org/accountability/agendas/ April 2019 Agenda 10. Consider partial payment of reinvestment zone contribution to construction of roundabout at Jensen and Navigation. So I'm guessing they will pick up where they left off on this? I never heard whether they voted to continue with an additional study to determine how to go forward
  18. I think they underestimated people's ability to find documents like this without specifically having it labeled under East River. Probably part of their direct to retailers marketing materials but as indicated by their lack of updates on their website and social media, not quite intended for public consumption. They have been mostly silent since the bid for Amazon. Even when they added new renderings, it was simply added into the brochure without any announcement. I'd imagine they wanted to wait until a few retailers were committed to share this. Every morning I drive past the lot and there are definitely construction workers moving dirt around.
  19. Yea, and I appreciate that you shared the image and hopefully the final design is comparable to those renderings which are really cool, I was responding the post after yours. Hopefully we see some movement at this location soon. Maybe Nancy's Hustle ownership would be interested, I had read they wanted to open a second restaurant on the East Side.. I'd also love to see Justin Yu and Bobby Heugel team up for something in the East End.
  20. If you go to their website (W Squared) it seems as if there is another rendering labeled N. York. Retrofit. I'm not sure if this is anything but a concept at this point that's available for potential renters (if the property is still owned by ancorian, I don't see it listed on their site) http://www.wsquaredarch.com/commercial/dnip2mksbutbsieo4q9v2odq0i57sa
  21. This sounds a lot like a museum in Seattle. The Museum of History and Industry. It focuses on a wide range of rolling exhibits from Seattle industry from lumber mills to Twin Peaks. One of the coolest museums I've visited before and I'd love to see something like that done here one day. https://mohai.org/
  22. Jensen exit as of today literally spits you out onto where East River is. I don't know if you're specifically talking about with regards to future plans or if you're talking about today if East River were open. You can rationalize it however you want, it's not a benefit to the area even if it's not a huge detriment. You are going to bat for TXDot alot in a thread that's supposed to be about the construction of a game changer for the City. Luckily txdot hasn't seemed to scare away developers from the area and I can't wait to see what this area looks like despite having to work around this.
  23. http://www.buffalobayourc.org/ So do they. I'm not sure what the timeline is on it and where they want to put it but I wouldn't be surprised if they are included in the East Sector Master Plan coming up.
  24. I'm going to hold off judgment until we see what Buffalo Bayou has planned here. We should be hearing from them with regards to the East Sector fairly soon. I recall that the idea was to allow BBP to have an easement on the land fronting the bayou. It could be that the brochure does not include bridges that have not been finalized by the BBP or it could be that the scope of connectivity to the south side of the bayou is more limited than expected.
