  1. PTC has updated their lease plan....looks like Cork Wine Bar is back in the plans. We'll see how accurate this is. http://www.cbldevelopment.com/pearland/pdf..._lease_plan.pdf
  2. You know how this development has progressed. Type in "coming2010" instead of 2009 and there it is. Note, next year add a year to the website if 2010 shuts down.
  3. Nope, this must be for the work that is going on on the East side of 288 approaching the Beltway and the east bound service road. They are clearing trees and you can see them installing underground drainage along the Beltway service road. Sorry to let you down but any future Waterlights development is a private matter. It's tough right now for commercial real estate so don't be too anxious. Look at all the vacant retail space around the Shadow Creek area.
  4. Two different types of businesses. We all know that eating out is a tradition in TX and Pearland is low on the supply side for those type of venues. One can justify eating out more than they can justify getting another item of clothing. When hunger hits, you've had a long work week, and you don't feel like cooking, badda bing!! Anyway, I would expect Pearland's offering of mid-tier restaurants (i.e. chain) to thrive being that folks are cutting back on the higher end joints.
  5. I don't think that this is unique to the Town Center store. Foot traffic/sales is/are down nation wide, as is evident by today's retail sales number. Dillard's, Macy's, or any other retailer is having trouble at the moment. It's a tough environment out there. I heard the female co-host of Morning Call (CNBC show) mention that she was in the Saks in NY yesterday and she couldn't help but notice how empty it was despite the "great" deals. Now if the NY Saks is empty then.............
  6. Note, that the new signal at Business Center Drive/SC Parkway will suffice. You can turn north onto the portion of Business Center Drive that goes along side of Bucees. Follow that road (don't go all the way until it ends or you will end up behind the strip mall where the delivery trucks service the store) and take a right and go behind Bucees and it will take you right into the Kroger Shopping Center by the Kroger gas station. No problems. They have a lot of in/egress points. I haven't had any problems accessing Kroger or SC Parkway leaving Kroger. As an aside I am happy that we have options on this side of 288.
  7. I'm with you. I was wondering if anyone else felt this way. The Kroger experience is much more relaxed, IMO. The store is cleaner, more manageable, and not as crowded (which might be my primary reason). I am not too price conscience so I will go for the better experience. HEB's crowd/ran-sacked(sp?) store is starting to remind me of Super WalMart.
  8. For inquiring minds. Can you elaborate on what you thought was "really interesting"? I know that the development team is working hard (as I see the same cars parked at the trailer day after day), but do you think this thing really has a chance? Did they throw out dates? Phase descriptions? Tenants (signed or otherwise)? Moving dirt is a good first step (which shows that they have some financing for the soft/hard costs up to this point), but the real commitment of resources is evident by the installation of the infrastructure (IMO).
  9. Looks like both the McCallister's Deli and the Le Madeleine (sp?) are out. See the link below for an updated site plan. Oh and uhm, Which Which does make good sandwiches. Has anyone tried Lenny's Sub on FM2234 (across from the 4 Points Sheraton), not bad either. http://www.amreit.com/_filelib/FileCabinet...teplan_1015.pdf
  10. I was told that Red Robin opens today. Also, Fish City Grill is definitely a couple of steps above Red Lobster. I will not eat at Red Lobster, I do however like Fish City Grill.
  11. You know I felt the same way until I thought about it more. My wife and I (no kids) enjoy "nice" restaurants and we frequently go inside the loop or First Colony for that. What happens when we have kids and we need an environment that caters to that. Vic & Anthony's, Oceanaire, Americas, or Pesce is not that type of establishment. Being that Pearland is a town full of married w/ kids type of households, these places will serve that population and thrive. Ever noticed how packed those "whack" chain restaurants are on the other side of 288? The town center is catering to the full family, not just the adults. Also, for the grown-and-sexy crowd there will be a wine bar type of business in the town center.
  12. Update from CBL Properties......more of the same but a couple of new named restaurants: Pei Wei, Pot Belly Sandwiches. http://www.cblproperties.com/cbl.nsf/Recen...ni?opendocument CBL ANNOUNCES OUTPARCEL RESTAURANTS AND RETAILERS JOINING PEARLAND TOWN CENTER IN HOUSTON (PEARLAND), TX CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (July 9, 2008) - CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (NYSE: CBL) today announced new retailers and restaurants taking outparcel locations at Pearland Town Center, the 1.2 million square foot premier mixed-use development in Houston (Pearland), TX. Those joining the project include Gringo
  13. So you're the reason that BK is opening on 518 in front of the Pearland TC. Off with your head!!
  14. I think this was mentioned before, but the development on 288/FM2234(S.C. Parkway) that is being anchored by Kroger will have a Starbuck's, Luby's, and a Cracker Barrel. Do folks like Cracker Barrel? It sounds so "country" to me. See link for site plan: http://www.gulfcoastcg.com/gulfcoastcg/doc...Marketplace.pdf
  15. One more thing, check out the leasing plan (.pdf) for a detailed listing of stores some have not been mentioned, like Disney, Sephora, and other restaurants.
  16. Looks like CBL updated their website with a new page, new site plan, etc. That building on the east side of the PTC is a Red Lobster. See the link and enjoy: http://www.cbldevelopment.com/pearland/
  17. I think that the two of you are talking about two different types of housing. You, HBCU, are talking about tax credit mulit-family apartments (which I don't think Pearland will allow on the westside b/c of zoning and the process to change it) and the other poster is talking about those "affordable" single family homes that say KB Homes is building North of Beltway-8 (near the City Park area). Either way I personally don't see either of those types of dwelling being developed in the Shadow Creek (i.e. westside) area. This master planned community will stick to its master plan. Again, the key to these types of developments from not happening in Pearland is zoning. Shadow Creek/ST are the only parcels zoned for single or multi family dwellings between Beltway 8 and 518, 288 and Almeda. Everything else is commercial type zoning. In order for someone to build anything different they have to seek a variance request to change the zoning. That's where it will get hung up or else they won't issue a permit.
  18. Not everybody goes as high as 40% - 60%, but even 26% (odd number to guess BTW) is over twice the reality. Still interesting.
  19. Looks like the TC will open on July 30th as planned, but with a partial list of retailers. CBL Announces Start of 100 Day Countdown to the Grand Celebration for Pearland Town Center in Houston (Pearland), TX News Date: 04/21/2008 10:14:31 AM http://www.cblproperties.com/cbl.nsf/Front...TX?opendocument
  20. Interesting to say the least. I have noticed a plethora of all races in and around Shadow Creek. I can't say with certainty that there are more of any one race than the other. I do feel that some people get turned off if they see even one black family lurking around. What can you do? Clearly the "powers that be" don't mind investing in the Shadow Creek area, so it must be more than skin color that drives business decisions. On a side note I've asked a few of my Caucasion brothers what the population of Af. Am. is in this country. I get answers like 50%, 40%, 60%. The reality is that we are less than 12% of the US population. Why do you think that they were so far off? The answer might give you insight into why some people see "the brothas" and think "there goes the neighborhood".
  21. Can you elaborate further on the "diversity"? Surprised good or surprised bad. Good meaning: they thought it was all one particular demographic and then they saw more of what they didn't expect. Bad meaning: they thought it was all one particular demographic and then they saw more of what they didn't expect. Fill in the blanks as necessary.
  22. I think that you may have confused the construction of the Kroger Marketplace with the Waterlights. There is no movement on the Waterlights parcel as of yet.
  23. "The hordes have descended upon it." Is that a good or bad thing?
  24. Gringo's will be located at the Pearland Town Center....By the end of the summer there will be a slew of new eating options west of 288 (Not to diminish the eateries just east of 288). Once they build the gym in the Shadow Creek TC it will be hard for me to go on the east side of 288. I live in Shadow Creek.
  25. If this development looks anything close to what the rendering looks like this will put this area on the map. Quite ambitious IMO.
