That's unfortunate. My dream project is to develop the empty lot next to it into the new Texas Baseball Hall of Fame and also redeveloping the Ben Milam building into a boutique hotel. Yep, dream.

The fact that this building is still vacant is extremely frustrating.

GreenStreet: Mixed-Use Development At 1201 Fannin St.
roadrunner replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
I walked around it this afternoon and it was pretty dead. The stores open had pretty good crowds, though. It should be a solid project once everything gets going. -
GreenStreet: Mixed-Use Development At 1201 Fannin St.
roadrunner replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
The website has a press release with the all of the store opening dates. It seems like this place won't really get going until December-January. -
I don't even care about that. I just think it would add a new dimension to the economy and keeps the dome in its original exterior shape without trying to make into some cheesy hotel idea.

This is unfortunate, but expected. Oh well, at least it's still on the board.

I know they are having problems absorbing these towers, but I have to admit they are some of the best looking buildings that have been built inside the loop in the last 5-10 years. They look spectacular from the park and even better from 288 or Almeda. I love how the Museum District has towers that randomly pop up out of the trees. This area has almost formed a skyline of its own.

High ceilings I guess? Or maybe an upper deck seating? -
I don't know, but they are working on the new train station by the Rice U/Hermann Park Light Rail station.

If they don't have anything in place by the time Bill White is out of office, I would think it would be a pretty big black mark on his term here.

I think construction has to actually start before there can be delays.

Regent Square: Mixed-Use On Allen Parkway At Dunlavy St.
roadrunner replied to Travel_n_Transport's topic in Going Up!
If I were the owners, I would be thrilled. You're thrown right in the middle of this exciting multi-use development. Unfortunately, they will probably deal with 4-8 years of empty lots and construction.- 1,531 replies

I drove by this the other day and it looks pretty cool. Big patio, and it looks to be a trendy Midtown bar inside. I know people here hate trendy, but I'm pretty pumped to check it out. I think Houston has a ton of laid back bars, so I welcome these "hard night" bars. Also, what's the name of the new bar right down the street from Maple Leaf where Late Nite Pie used to be? It looks cool, also.

Museum District Real Estate
roadrunner replied to cwrm4's topic in Museum District/Hermann Park/Rice University area
Thanks for the suggestions. I did a little research on my own, and noticed that Maple Leaf has WiFi in Midtown. I like that place, so that seems reasonable. And I also wish the Museum District had a few more cafes or bars. It's all townhomes and museums....although that isn't so bad. -
Museum District Real Estate
roadrunner replied to cwrm4's topic in Museum District/Hermann Park/Rice University area
I live in the Museum District and would love to find a place where I could go sip on a beer with my laptop. Does anyboddy know any neighborhood joints nearby? Or is the closest option somewhere in Rice Village? -

Williams Tower At 2800 Post Oak Blvd.

Is the observation deck still closed? And are they shutting off the water wall at night? I always thought that is when it looked best.- 359 replies

Pizza in Houston
roadrunner replied to Nakatosh's topic in Houston Area Dining, Shopping and Entertainment
I don't think so, but the slices are around $2. Two slices are probably good enough for lunch. -
Pizza in Houston
roadrunner replied to Nakatosh's topic in Houston Area Dining, Shopping and Entertainment
Just tried Luigi's on Almeda right on the border of the Museum District and Midtown. I thought the pizza was great. They serve it NY style by the slice. Nice little building with a patio. The guy behind the counter was telling me they've been open for 6 weeks and apparently doing well with schools nearby (HCC?). They have a small menu, but it what they have fits my taste for a neighborhood pizza joint. He also said it's BYOB, which is kind of awesome. I'll be going back, especially when the weather gets nice. BYOB on the patio seems like it will be hard to beat. -
Last week I saw several tractors on the site moving dirt around. And there was a taco truck there, which means there must be a significant amount of workers there. Hopefully within the next month we will see an actual groundbreaking.

Yeah I have noticed this also. Not sure what's going on here. It looks like they are actually just moving dirt around the hospital. Maybe a nicer parking lot??
