  1. I-10 will be may favorite freeway completed in 2009. Big opening space between the freeway of SH 288 they should plan on planting palm trees and a small mini creek down along that middle section of the freeway with sand and rocks.
  2. Surprised to see this didn't already have a topic as it's been in development for a good while. https://www.weitzmangroup.com/properties/manveltownctrretail https://www.manveltownctr.com/WCMM/ Latest word from the city is the remaining permitting issues have been sorted out and HEB's building should start going up soon. The development has just been doing earthwork and underground up to this point.
  3. I noticed there was a Notice of Public Hearing sign posted a long Highway 288 near Fuqua St. Now there is a Urban Meridian Group sign posted. What's the scoop? UMG also has another parcel of land down the freeway a bit, on the opposite side.
  4. I think this was mentioned before, but the development on 288/FM2234(S.C. Parkway) that is being anchored by Kroger will have a Starbuck's, Luby's, and a Cracker Barrel. Do folks like Cracker Barrel? It sounds so "country" to me. See link for site plan: http://www.gulfcoastcg.com/gulfcoastcg/doc...Marketplace.pdf
  5. 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?
  6. Noticed a demolition permit months ago. Been watching the area since. Today I finally see the demo has started.
  7. Per Carroll Robinson's website at the link below, on November 5th, HCC closed on 9.177 acres of land on N. MacGregor at 288 for the new Coleman College of Health Sciences’ Medical Science & Technology Early College Charter High School (what a long name!). http://tinyurl.com/ld5l5md That parcel has been vacant for over 20 years. I think the last thing to be there was an old nightclub, and before that, there were apartments. Old N. MacGregor Way borders the property to the south and was closed and fenced off about 3-5 years ago. It's also one of the few places where you can see Brays Bayou's original path before it was straightened for the first time in the 1920s.
  8. I have a theory about the vast prairies that lie south of the Loop, north of the Beltway, and along both sides of 288, extending from about Scott Street back towards Highway 90A. Am I right, or is this just some fluke that we have countryside so close to such a burgeoning urban area? The theory goes like this: Development in the area has historically been slow; the reason for this is likely that State Highway 288 was completed as a freeway in 1984, just prior to a major regional downturn that was particularly hard-felt in the housing market. As the region began to emerge from the downturn, much of the prairie land through which the freeway had been built remained undisturbed, but the few neighborhoods that had been built in the area prior to the freeway
  9. Anyone know what's going up on Ardmore between Yellowstone and Holly Hall? A big 3-story parking garage has been under construction for a little while now (it's VERY visible from 288 just inside the Loop). Foundation slabs have been poured next to the parking garage. I drove by on Ardmore last week, and there's a sign spray-painted on plywood, indicating that this will be an apartment complex. Anyone know any more details? I live directly across 288 from there (I can see the garage from my house)...just curious about what's going in. Just down the street, at Ardmore and Yellowstone, there's been an Urban Lofts sign up for months. No construction started there, though. Interesting stuff going on in the neighborhood. That area of Ardmore is a mix of industrial and office buildings. I thought it interesting that an apartment complex would go in there, and even more interesting that they would build a parking garage for it. I wouldn't have thought that land was valuable enough to merit a parking garage. If it is, that's good news...
