  1. ggp rep said something is in the works for the sears location fitting the woodlands demographics. could it be......?
  2. i sent the original to your facebook account. i do not know if it will be larger than you can view here. k
  3. aerial of exxon development. long structures are tunnel system.
  4. http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/print-edition/2012/03/02/repsol-services-fills-own-need-for.html looks as if another building in research forest lakeside will get off the ground.
  5. oh yeah...and this is a thread on the new anadarko tower. any crane pics yet? i'll see if i can get over there this week.
  6. 77380 includes budde road, sawdust and borough park apartment complexes not in the woodlands proper. in your demographics, yes, but not in the woodlands development. this would account for the majority of the units you speak of (changed to section 8). in addition, the woodlands had, by design, low income housing opportunities included in each village so as to secure government assistance, this is not new. to use low income housing in the older villages as a sign of decay is inaccurate. it was there from the beginning. chapter two of roger galatas' book the woodlands: the inside story of creating a better home town is titled "the HUD experience". hud granted a 50 million dollar guarantee with a requirement that each village contain "rent-subsidized" apartments. panther creek and grogan's mill had "rent-subsidized" apartments as a part of the mix before the first complex was designed; 1971 i think. the woodlands has been growing for 30 years, greenspoint has been in decline for twenty? this "death spiral" you speak of, if accurate even a little, will occur after many of us are dead and gone.
  7. according to alex sutton, co-president of the woodlands development company, the condo tower is a priority, but hedges on buyer's ability to get condo's financed. http://impactnews.com/articles/woodlands-development-company-plans-large-scale-town-center-projects
  8. i really like the houses on mossrock and it's easy to get in and out of the woodlands from this area.
  9. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXc2RoJVRRU new promo for the woodlands includes animation of condo tower, hotel and office building at waterway square. it's hi-def, so it may take a while if you're connection or pc is slow.
  10. performing arts center by pavilion moves forward with seating increased to 1800. http://impactnews.com/articles/mitchell-looks-to-develop-$35-million-performing-arts-center developer states that condo tower is a priority. following 3 waterway, a second multi-story commercial/office building to go up by the former us oncology building on timberloch. 3 waterway is said to be 80% leased; construction has yet to begin. http://impactnews.com/articles/woodlands-development-company-plans-large-scale-town-center-projects waterway square extension to south side of waterway could begin by next year. http://www.yourhoustonnews.com/woodlands/news/waterway-square-extension-targeted-for/article_f8e287bd-9fde-56d4-b37a-59fdbc5aebd9.html
  11. i guess such a limited/narrow floorplate required a utilitarian design. nice that it fits in!
  12. 3 waterway is old news. where did you see/hear "11" stories? last reports on the business journal and the woodlands commercial site are "9" stories. http://www.thewoodlands-commercial.com/
  13. excellent. thanks for sharing the link.
  14. the "expansion" by dillard's is not new, as it is the location of the last anchor store. a recurring rumor is that neiman marcus had been discussing a location here before the recession. if this is current, it does make you wonder about the condo tower and boutique hotel at waterway square. if this is at the visitor's center, i doubt the model contains the most current information. do you know where the model is located?
  15. anadarko II http://swamplot.com/second-woodlands-anadarko-tower-a-bit-more-boxy-but-almost-as-big-as-the-first/2012-01-17/ also, financing has been secured for 3 waterway (right across the street from the new anadarko tower). surveying evidence spotted at 3 waterway on friday. http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2011/10/26/nexeo-solutions-moves-to-woodlands.html michael kors to open new location at market street. http://www.marketstreet-thewoodlands.com/news/index.lasso?n=894
  16. swamplot reports: Anadarko Petroleum announced to its employees last week that the company is ready to begin constructing a second office tower just west of its existing headquarters building in The Woodlands Town Center, a source tells Swamplot. The new building will fit on the corner of Lake Robbins Dr. and Woodloch Forest Dr., just south of The Woodlands Mall, and like the current tower will be visible from miles south on I-45. At the announced 31 stories, the new structure would be one floor "shorter taller." http://swamplot.com/...rst/2012-01-17/ works for me!
  17. Check local PBS Station for correct viewing time. For Houston, TX: 9PM on Channel 8. From 1941 to 1978, this husband-and-wife team brought unique talents to their partnership. He was an architect by training, she was a painter and sculptor. Together they are considered America's most important and influential designers, whose work helped, literally, shape the second half of the 20th century and remains culturally vital and commercially popular today. Ray and Charles Eames are, perhaps, best remembered for their mid-century modern furniture, built from novel materials like molded plywood, fiberglass-reinforced plastic, bent metal wire and aluminum -- offering consumers beautiful, functional, yet inexpensive products. Revered for their designs and fascinating as individuals, the Eames have risen to iconic status in American culture. But their influence on significant events and movements in American life -- from the development of modernism, to the rise of the computer age -- has been less widely understood. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/
  18. anadarko lot map the southeast corner of lake robbins and woodloch forest is anadarko's. the southwest corner is where waterway 3 is to break ground soon. http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2011/10/26/nexeo-solutions-moves-to-woodlands.html new volkswagon dealer in the woodlands. http://www.woodlandsonline.com/npps/story.cfm?nppage=44391 rpc inc moves world headquarters to research forest. http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2011/10/24/rpc-inc-moves-operational-hq-to-the.html
  19. the flyer shows the ground floor retail for all of the office buildings. the retail space shown in purple, next to the existing parking garage, is only the ground floor of the condo tower. with the howard hughes company now in full control of the woodlands, they want to accelerate the development of the boutique hotel at waterway avenue and other office buildings. note: the flyer mentions rio 24 as a tenant which has been out of business for some time. the flyer is out of date. there is a lot of activity in town center. looking forward to more announcements soon and impatient to see a rendering of the next anadarko building. i hope it isn't a "twin". (channeling homer simpson) mmmmmmm....frosting. frost cupcakes in waterway square district
  20. Not sure I can keep up this pace!!! Too......much..... shopppp.....ing.

  21. seriously? does grogan's mill need a dairy queen? DQ going in at south millbend and grogan's mill.

      Really!?!That's awesome! ... I mean, I'm sorry to hear that...

  22. so done with study time!

  23. that area is either included in or adjacent to the location of the proposed transit terminal and parking garage at six pines and lake robbins. in that map, you can see the location of the proposed performing arts center too (although not identified).
  24. no. the condo tower has a small floor plate and is between the garage and waterway square. the area is an empty lot right now. lockmat is correct to think it may not happen. if the market changes in a way that would support a different development here, the woodlands could certainly change direction; however, the renderings of the condo project continue to be posted on the recently update developer website.
