  1. HCTRA is planning to replace the Beltway 8 Ship Channel Bridge with two Cable-stayed suspension bridges. Public Notice attached from the Coast Guard is attached. Has this been mentioned already? Couldn't find an ongoing topic. Public notice - bridge application - 091815.pdf
  2. https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/transportation/2023/09/01/461307/discount-for-harris-county-toll-road-users-takes-effect-monday-marking-first-ever-rate-reduction/ "The Harris County Toll Road Authority is implementing a 10 percent discount for EZ TAG holders when they drive on roads operated by the agency – the Sam Houston Tollway, Hardy Toll Road and the Harris County portions of the Tomball and Westpark tollways. The price change goes into effect Monday, marking the first time since its inception in 1983 that the toll road authority will reduce its regular rates. The discounted rate, along with a handful of other policy changes, were approved earlier this year by county commissioners. They are designed to encourage greater EZ TAG usage, thereby boosting revenue for the toll road authority while also providing financial incentive to customers."
  3. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/target-distribution-center-construction-houston-17857095.php Target is building 1.2 Million SF distribution center here - Beltway 8 just west of S. Wayside Dr. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/target-distribution-center-construction-houston-17857095.php "Meanwhile, Target’s other planned distribution center, at 5805 South Sam Houston Parkway East, is being developed by Dallas-based real estate firm Hillwood Properties at the Beltway 66 Logistics Park. The retailer signed the lease in the fourth quarter of 2022, according to real estate sources. Estimated to cost $65.8 million, construction of the building, designed by Powers Brown Architecture, is expected to wrap in October, according to state permit filings. Target did not say when it plans to open the facilities, and neither Hillwood nor Panattoni were able to comment."
  4. Came across a smaller business park on Hines website earlier this week. Beltway Southwest Business Park https://www.hines.com/properties/beltway-southwest-business-park-houston In 2015, Hines acquired approximately 75 acres of land in southwest Houston located at the northeast corner of Beltway 8 and Fort Bend Toll Road to develop Beltway Southwest Business Park, a Class A, master-planned business park capable of accommodating approximately 950,000 square feet of light manufacturing and distribution space.
  5. I noticed this on Hines website the other day. I never knew about this! https://www.hines.com/properties/grand-national-business-park-houston In 2018, Hines acquired 107 acres at the southeast corner of the Sam Houston Tollway (Beltway 8) and Gessner Road in the heart of the northwest submarket of Houston. Hines developed over 1.2 million square feet of industrial/logistics space and included an amenity retail center on the Beltway 8 frontage along with a business-class hotel. Branded as Grand National Business Park, phases one, two and three consist of more than 1.2 million square feet of logistics space. The project is the newest large, modern format distribution park in the northwest submarket of Houston and is able to meet requirements of 20,000 square feet to 1 million square feet. Hines sold Phase One of Grand National Business Park in October 2020 and Phase Two in July 2021.
  6. Asking for a friend who is in the market . . . Does anyone have any insight on the City Gate DR Horton development around 288 and Beltway 8? It seems relatively new--are there any other similar communities in the metro area developed by DR Horton that are more mature for comparison?
  7. https://hctra.co The primary purpose of this site right now is an information dump. I put some of my opinons on the front page, but I may remove them. The information about Texas Tag is important though - more proof that HCTRA is being run as if it were a profit seeking entity, rather than in service to the residents of Harris County. I am open to rational debate. I also accept submissions for the site. I am not opposed to the basic idea of toll roads either, but I think HCTRA has been actively abusive to their customers, and privately, I believe that one or more of these documents will reveal malfeasance. They are posted for public review as I don't have the time myself to go through them all. I know that this site is already receiving some traffic from people mistyping "hctra.com", so I have mentioned how an existing EZ TAG holder would need to go to hctra.org to service their account.
  8. The other day my dad, who works for TXDoT as an inspector, and I were driving on East BW8, near I-10. When we got up to the inter-change, he told me that when they were building the roads in that area, that the state acquired a lot of right-of-way. Pretty much they tore down EVERYTHING in their way, including an old mansion (on the South side of I-10, but North of the toll bridge). He told me about touring the munitions bunkers that are in that area, too (those were mentioned in a previous thread). When I was little (like four years old), he would drive by the work site on the weekends, and take a look around- making sure that barricades were in place, etc. Sometimes he would take me with him. When he started talking about the house, I started to VAGUELY remember seeing a house there. He said that it was two stories and had a large gate around the property. Does anyone have any information on this house/mansion, or has this been posted in a previous thread?
