i mean at least i would go to buy a frappuccino periodically!!! ;) 

but yeah i hope it's something that really matches this cool building! i just can't tell from the renderings if it is abstract art in that space or what! the outside of this building is looking pretty close to finished so hoping they have the reveal soon!!!

Wait what, a temp movie theater? Is this a joke?

no joke...probably something similar to the other drive in's that have been happening in the city or like a rooftop cinema but on the lot! 

i kinda think it would be cool 

in my opinion this was montrose at it's best...

so thankful i got to experience that amazing time in houston 

in the same plaza as Barbary Coast? or was it a free standing building?

Remember Kenny and Ziggy's is taking up the whole Luby's space and possibly more on that end as they are making this a restaurant and more as mentioned earlier...so that could take up some of the space possibly to the right of Lubys...we shall see. 

I know the old Masraff's had a sign that stated something like restaurant space for lease...so obviously looking for another restaurant to take over. 

amen to that quote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🚀🖤

This looks terrible to me.  The staircases on the outside of the building!  For prime property like this, I would have liked to see something nice.    

It's a senior building...i am surprised there are even stairs!!! 🙃

I ate there a few weekends ago and the ribs and cole slaw are the exact same as well thankfully!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I don't know why but the lower silver clad building reminds me of either The Jetson's tupperware or a building that you can snap on another level as needed

🙃

wowsa...loving the progress!!!!!!!!!!!! and the photos!

i for one am so excited about this place and everything it will offer! 

FYI...it turns out Van Leeuwen Ice Cream is taking over the ENTIRE plaza next to Crave...so that is the former spaces of My Fit Foods, the dress shop AND the former Starbucks!!! wowsa...well at least they will be keeping the little animal park as it will be a good fit for all the kids going to get ice cream (and cupcakes next door!)

They have completely demoed the inside of all 3 spaces and are beginning the buildout.

Just FYI, my best friend is having another concert here...this time full band (Blue October) and acoustic! It is going to be June 18th! :) 

wish it was something better for the masses but hey it's good to see this plaza filling up! 

yep, still seriously worried about what in the heckaroonie is going in that space! haha 

🤪

awesome photos btw @Highrise Tower!

I think it's the beige. Theres something almost... bandaid-like about it.

If it were a nice, vibrant color I think it would look a lot better. 

@Texasotai will STILL never forgive you for that comment...i CANNOT unsee it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha 

well yesterday i walked over to see it up close....as i approached the signage looks amazing and all the windows facing Westheimer and towards Oceanaire etc...and the large covered patio they have created facing west complete with suspended heaters. It looks really awesome... BUT then as i get closer and take a look over the green fencing surrounding the whole project, i see that the inside is still basically an empty drywall shell...i am thinking this will be a mid to late summer opening now but we shall see!  

you had me at tex-mex 

😋

I think the idea would be for those that can't afford uber and/or want to bypass traffic to the airport? but the best reason for this is so that WE don't ever have to pick up anyone from the airport ever again!!!!!!! I hate doing that haha!!!

Joey's looks like it will be open by summer i do believe (if not end of spring possibly?)! i need to walk by there this week/weekend to check it out better but it looks pretty great with all the windows and signage etc (former Yauatcha space)
