  1. I found some information on CBRE's website, its from 2006, but worth taking a look at anyway: http://www.cbre.com/USA/US/TX/Houston+Gall...ds.htm?pageid=1 http://www.cbre.com/USA/US/TX/Houston+Gall...erty/hardyyards http://www.cbre.com/USA/US/TX/Houston+Gall...anredevelopment I haven't verified whether its still on the market, but there are some contacts on the links if anyone feels like digging for more info.
  2. Any updates on this project. I drove by this week and it appears a bit more cleared than before, but not much going on. This project will definitely move forward sooner or later, the many factors (economic, regulatory, and financial) have to fall in line for such a large and speculative project to come on stream, but simply put, you simply cant replace a location like this! I look forward to seeing some significant development in the Near North Side. Please update anything new on this site
  3. Westwood Mall has been turned into a corporate center for many years now, its not a very recent transition. Sharpstown is just up the road, and they have not done much to improve it, but I think we will continue to see improving demographics (atleast commercially speaking) in the area and if the owners (last I heard it was a group led by self proclaimed 'developer' Tracy Suttles who has been in financial trouble himself - almost had his house forclosed on recently) can capilatize on it, it will become a much more revived mall, although just with middle to lower end catering. Town & Country was a great mall when built, but the contruction of the highway stacks next to it, at the corner of Bltwy 8 & I-10 W just killed it. If you have ever driven by, you know that it was just plain inconvenient to drive around all that highway to get to the mall; however, that location is nonetheless prime for development, as it is in the heart of one of the highest income areas in the country. (look up its demographics). The mall itself, including the land and everything was purchased and consolidated in two phases by a prominent Houston businessman, and then sold to Midway, which razed it and is planning various residential/retail/office developments, which I look forward to. It would be nice to have the highway construction done though before we see this area develop fully. Also, right across from Town & Country was a huge piece of land with a teardown, which looks like is now being developed. Any word on what exactly will occupy this last remaining chunk of commercial land on this part of town?
