Any updates on this project?

I really hate it when they publish maps/site drawing with north not pointing up.

It would fit right in at the ATM campus. Ugly!

Probably it'll be in the phase 1 area, in the corner of 59 and Airport. Its the most visible corner and almost ready to open.

Drove by The Grid and it looks like the first restaurant that is about to open is Chipotle! Waiting for that In n Out!

Plus there are already a lot of support services in the med center, that UH would have to duplicate in a stand alone facility. I know its noble to have it in the third ward, but we need this to be successful. UT, ATM, TWC, PVA&M, are already at the med center. UH should rightly be there as well.

I disagree about it not being at the med center. It should be in the med center so that they can mingle with professionals in their field. Lots of them! Plus its great advertising to the thousands of patients that go to the med center.

So people that are moving to Houston come from cities that have rail. What do they all have in common, its outrageously expensive to live in those cities! Thanks, but no thanks. You want to live in a city with rail, go move there! Options people, options.

Looks like its going to be a nice place.

This should be successful, lots of restaurants in close proximity are alway very busy, such as the Pappadeaux and Gringos.

Looks like progress. Its got most of its parking in the back. FYI.

moo. Missed opportunity here. I look at what's happening in the rest of the world and wonder why Houston can't come up with a signature skyscraper for its skyline.

Hey EK, they are building a cafe in the front of the Bellaire HEB, its jus not finished yet.

But there are carts upstairs, no need to take one up with you.

OK so I went to check out the new HEB Bellaire. And yes, its not as crafted as the Montrose/WestU HEBs, no rich textures nor warm palette of wood or greenery, but its OK. The front entrance on the second floor tries to make it feel airier than it really is, but as you get to the rear of the store, its all florescent lights and low ceilings. But getting to the rear is the saving grace for this store, it is positively huge! Compared to the previous HEB Bellaire and especially the West U one. The selections are insane. Its surprising how large the footprint is. So well done HEB. Still wish they had the conveyer belt system to get up to the second floor like they do in San Antonio, but heard that the city of Bellaire nixed that. Well, its fun to watch you cart ride a funicular beside you! Oh, and they have a light system in the garage with red/green lights to tell you where there are open spots. Nice. It would have been nicer if it told you how many spots were open as you entered!
