    Its Doc's motorworks (I think thats who you meant). Their facebook page confirms: Doc's Bar & GrillMay 30Construction for Doc's Motorworks in Houston on Westheimer & Yupon is set to begin and fundraising is going great! We're getting excited for another Doc's to add to our family! Get on board and get excited with us!

    This property is under contract by a residential developer who is not adverse to retail on the ground floor, so keep your fingers crossed.

    The license is actually for two concepts. The wine bar will be next to Byrd's. Byrd's should be open in a few weeks. Everyone should check it out and help make it a permanent institution. Heres a pic I took of it.

    From this thread of course! Thats how I heard about it also. You should put the building demo video to Koyaanisqatsi soundtrack! (great movie if you haven't seen it)

    Yep, Im in those pics. My girlfriend and I showed up late to the party. We had gotten in from the bars/Tacos a gogo around 4am, so waking her up at 6:30 was not fun! I don't think she actually woke up until the explosions went off.

    Thanks for the viewing tip! There was only 10 people on top of the garage and it looked like a few hundred at the "official" viewing area. My camera buffer filled up on all of the "pre-blasts" before it fell down, but I got a few good shots. You can see all of them here

    We are losing the war on sleeping in, I can assure you of that! I just moved into the Bel-Air and my unit faces the demolition. Metal sure makes a screeching sound as its folded for hauling off. On the bright side, the call to worship might be able to replace my alarm clock... I bet it will be a well designed building. With the price that they paid (north of $80 psf), it surely wont be tiltwall construction.

    In short, Landco did buy it with seller financing and did recently give it back to the Marharishis. The building does have its problems with structural integrity, but perhaps the prior owners did as well.

    I've heard that the store is planned to not only be suburban style, but to face Fannin and Elgin, with its back towards Main Street. I don

    the land for this project is actually on a 75 year ground lease. probaly valued around $65-$70 a foot. The costs are prohibitive, but the players in this arena do know how to do a project right. Its exciting to see how many quality developments are in the works for houston.

    Im just glad to see something happen to the 800 block. This block is key in connecting Main St Square to the entertainment district as it now exists. There have been alot of false starts on the 800 block. A bar was attempting to build out the ground floor of Battlestiens and ran out of money (they actually tried to build a dance floor that would raise on hydrolics!), the west building with it proposed plans, stowers with its potential and the mafridge building in the middle of the block... hopefully something will happen with one of those as well. And yes, these things all take time. The wheel is in motion. Just be a bit more patient. Or go do it yourself

    the walgreens is actually mor urban thatn it would have been. it was going to be put smack in the middle of the block, like CVS, but a few key people got involved, including the developer, and saw that it was brought to the street, leaving room for more development on the block when density will allow for it, and creating a nice blockface for the project pictured to go up next to. ok that was a runon...

    i think its more the fact that these projects just dont exist yet. Houston developers and lenders are accustomed to one type of development. Once a few of these are off the ground, (and the one posted should break ground soon), people will see that it can work. This one is going to have two floors of retail, totaling 150,000 sf of retail. It will be a district in itself. There will also be a level of parking below.
