I'm a huge fan of the idea presented above. It gets rid of the bus impact on the 610 frontage-Post Oak intersection, which is already functioning poorly during rush hour. Site as it is below (facing east). Pic by me.

The Astoria: Condominium High-Rise At 1405 Post Oak Blvd.
SkylineView replied to wxman's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
The building is not done, tons of people still on site. Ongoing work on the front facade with more paint and whatnot. I'm withholding judgement until it's totally done, but the lack of symmetry on the spirals feels terrible.- 988 replies

I was posting photos of this back in April 2013... award for slowest continuous construction? The only thing I can think of that might have taken longer is the Rice Village block.

Hard to tell from the photos, but the most recent floor is stepped in on the south-east corner. Looks like it is tapering.- 988 replies

They are definitely still there. Maybe with an even more permanent sign (??). The Verizon store (directly south) definitively had all of its signage removed.- 1,031 replies

1.95-Acres For Sale At 1515 Garrettson Ln.
SkylineView replied to houstontexasjack's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
They are about 90% done w/the demo. Only the back row remains... and the sad pool in the middle. -
Good comments Gene. Since I'm usually buying beer, I'm too lazy to walk to the far end where the express is. I will say... I went there Friday at 5pm sharp. No express checkouts were open, only 3 registers working. I just don't understand their business plan. When people are buying basket-loads of single-item prepared foods, you need more people working the stands.

Something has changed on the last two floors that have been poured. They are taller, and have a reinforced corner (south-east end). I remember reading that some of the condo's were going to have soaking pools... wonder if that's what it is.- 988 replies

So, as many of you know, I live two blocks away. While I have walked to WF several times, I generally drive since the underground parking is outrageously convenient (seriously, this is the number 1 feature of the location, and I cannot overstate the greatness of the design). That said, I have a huge issue with the store. Regardless of the time of day or day of the week, there are never enough people working the registers. Without exception, I spend 10+ minutes in line, each time, every time. The weird part is... it doesn't matter how many people are in the store. The store can be empty... I still wait 10 minutes. The store can be packed... I still wait 10 minutes. Why bother when I can go to any other grocery and not wait in line. Also, what's the deal with the prepared foods? Again, there are never enough people working there. The point of this location should be flow... get in, get out. Instead, it's easy to park, but then you get trapped inside with no one to help you. Hire some more people... I'm begging. I want this place to be a success.

Is there any news / rumor on the remaining sites? Even with Apache on hold (or out... or whatever), there's still quite a bit of acreage left for development.
