  1. It is my understanding it will be medical office bldgs like stated above, however they wont be built for some time. The developer tore down the existing structures to reduce the taxable vaule of the property while it sits waiting for construction. I imagine the pic posted above is the poster's way of saying s/he imagines the property becoming an empty, unleased strip center like so many around town right now.
  2. "Spring Branch Plaza" is to be built this fall at the corner of Bunker Hill and Long Point. Little strip center. FYI.
  3. I think the building facade was ripped off during Ike and never replaced.
  4. Olive Garden moved to the HEB shopping center at Bunker Hill.
  5. I read another related article somewhere describing how unhappy some the nearby residents were about it. Can't remember why exactly... I'll see if I can find that article. Edit: Now that I think about it, I think the descension is discussed in that article. I just don't know how to login and see the remainder of the article.
  6. They're going to be four "monuments" so-to-speak to set-off the Memorial City area. I think I read about it in last week's HBJ. Found it... http://houston.bizjournals.com/houston/stories/2009/07/20/tidbits1.html
  7. in case it hadn't already been mentioned... http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/6451680.html Lupe Tortilla Mexican Restaurant leased 4,000 square feet in the Echo Lane Shopping Center at Interstate 10 and Echo Lane. Jim Smith Jr. and Matt Strange of Smithco Development represented both the tenant and the landlord.
  8. because to me, a Supermercado de Walmart does not scream revitalization to an area. i'm probably wrong, though.
  9. I was pleased to see the Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market on Longpoint close, however looks like Wal-Mart will be opening a Supermercado de Walmart in its place. I do not see that as a good thing for the area.
  10. Can someone please let me know which shopping center, mall parking lot, etc. has never been victim to crime?
  11. I had not heard this either, but appears you're right. I've seen the sign, but didn't notice any difference. http://www.frpltd.com/property/west_villageplaza_NEW.htm
  12. I just think common sense dictates certain steps people can take to mitigate the likelihood of becoming a victim. I just happen to believe that leaving your purse on, let's say, the seat of your car in a parking lot, is not very smart. I feel a sense of obligation, as a responsible citizen, to eliminate within reason the chances of myself being a victim of crimes of opportunity. I leave my garage door closed at night, lock car doors, etc. For example, if I leave town for a couple of days and leave my garage door open only to find upon my return that I've had tools, etc stolen, I accept partial responsibility for it occurring. I certainly don't place all the blame on the police department, etc. for preventing it from occurring. But maybe that's just me.
  13. Well, which is it? If you're going to leave a purse, laptop, Sacks bag, etc in plain view inside your car, you're not without blame. And finding fault in her for leaving her purse in plain view to encourage a smash-and-grab has nothing to do with thinking that it couldn't happen to us. In fact, I would argue that the folks who do find fault in doing such a thing, would probably be the first to blame themselves if the same were to happen to them. I know I would. And further to your post above, I think there's a forth group of individuals to blame too, and that would be those that place an overreliance on the goverment to protect them.
  14. According to the latest info, it doesn't appear so. Unless it's one of the leases pending. http://www.frpltd.com/property/documents/V...ePlazaFLIER.pdf
  15. Two things: 1. Am I wrong, or isn't the economy in Houston fairing much better relative to the rest of the country, and 2. Have you been to Mem City Mall lately? It's packed and you can't find a parking spot.
  16. If they were going to show Discover finished, they could have finished the apartment complex across from 5HC too.
  17. It's my understanding that an apartment complex can only apply for an apartment "permit" every 15 year, and many of the complexes are coming up on their second renewal...at 30 years. I'm told that many permits wont be getting renewed and the apartments will be torn down. I know nothing about this aside from what I was told by a crazy neighbor.
  18. Looks like the shopping center at the Northeast corner of Blalock and Westview is getting a much needed makeover.
