I am now living in Los Angeles, but on a recent trip to Houston, I saw the difference in retail outlets in the Galleria and even Highland Village. Both places have gotten pretty big chains and specialty stores, like Burberry, Dior, Bose, Jimmy Choo, and Luca Luca. Although most people don't care for this, since it is outside of most people's reach, I work in this industry, doing marketing for luxury brands, and I know that stores moving into a city at this pace signifies growth and confidence that the city is chic enough and diversified enough to open shop. In Houston, there have been 13 store openeings of a high caliber, those found in Rodeo Dr or 5th Ave. 10 years ago, that would have been impossible, I think that Houston is on the ap like never before. But those are just my thoughts. Though it is not the architecture phenomenon we all wish for, at least people visiting---for pleasure or business---will see the Gucci store or the Sony Style store and not feel that they are in a country town with big freeways. Not to up-play it, but this type of thing makes a difference when producers look for a city to host a show in, like the REAL WORLD or and awards show. It puts us on the cultural map. What do you guys think? Treader

I was just wondering, how far apart are these two developments and do you all thing these two sites could change the perception of Houston as a urban walkable city? Which development do you think has the greatest potential for development? Some say that the KBR site should become a park, but I believe that there could be a much better use for the site. KBR Site Regent Square

Dec. 4, 2004, 10:42PM Pitching a downtown dream Developers see loft-style offices, condos tied into flashy retailing, entertainment By NANCY SARNOFF Copyright 2004 Houston Chronicle Picture this: A luxury hotel, residential condominiums and loft-style offices, all connected by flashy urban retail, entertainment and culture. Now picture it in downtown Houston. An ambitious pair of developers wants to build the city's biggest mixed-use project yet on what is now three parking lots just off Main Street. Bill Denton, a developer from California, and Geoff Jones, a local developer, are behind this concept that seems almost too good to be true. Denton and Jones have signed a sales contract to buy the three blocks of downtown land bordered by Main, Polk, Dallas and Caroline. They're out there pitching their project to potential retailers and investors. But they won't talk to the media about it until they're further along in their plans. That's probably not a bad strategy. Houston has seen countless developers announce huge real estate projects that never seem to make it out of the ground. So are these guys for real? Denton's company, Entertainment Development Group, is based in Agoura Hills, Calif. It's certainly worth noting that he was behind a large retail project in Denver that many folks believed would never happen. Built in 1998, Denver Pavilions is now a hugely successful entertainment and retail complex with dozens of retail stores and restaurants, a nightclub and a 15-screen movie theater. The project is made up of four three-story buildings, linked by walkways and escalators, that cover two blocks on Denver's famous 16th Street Mall. Tenants include Virgin Megastore, Hard Rock Cafe, NikeTown, Barnes & Noble Superstore, Wolfgang Puck Grand Cafe, Maggiano's Little Italy and Lucky Strike Lanes, a hip bowling alley concept. According to the project's Web site, the $108 million development was financed in part by Rosche Finanz of Freiberg, Germany, and Hensel Phelps Construction Co. The closest things downtown Houston has to cutting-edge mixed-use real estate projects are Bayou Place in the Theater District and Houston Center near the George R. Brown Convention Center. But half of Bayou Place has sat vacant since it opened years ago. Just last week, owner Cordish Co. said it wants to build residential units there. And Houston Center is still facing identity issues despite recent repositioning efforts by the owner, Crescent. It's still way too early to predict the future of these three city blocks. Time and interest in downtown Houston will be the ultimate judge. http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/printstory.mpl/business/2931451

(Katy, Texas) October 8, 2015 – The City of Katy is pleased to announce that the Katy Development Authority has taken a key step forward in the development of the Boardwalk District (as shown in the accompanying rendering) by entering into an agreement with Sueba USA Corporation for the development of a 22-acre parcel located adjacent to Katy Mills Mall. Sueba USA Corporation intends to use the parcel to construct a high quality mixed-use development consisting of loft living space, retail and restaurant facilities, and a public plaza. Sueba USA Corporation’s development will be a strong addition to the Boardwalk District which will also include a convention center, hotel, and restaurant row, all anchored by an 89-acre nature park with a central lake, boardwalks, nature preserves, and a 2-mile walking trail system. Construction of the nature park will commence this winter with an anticipated completion and public opening by the end of 2016. Katy Development Authority and Sueba USA Corporation are excited to be joint participants in the construction of the Boardwalk District — a project that will provide Katy residents and visitors an additional first class development to live, work and play. Katy Development Authority was formed by the City of Katy, Texas to promote economic development through public-private partnerships that support the completion of public infrastructure and high quality private development. Sueba USA Corporation is a Houston based real estate development company that is an established leader in the acquisition, development, construction, and management of both residential and commercial real estate.

The Extended Stay America Suites Hotel located at 1301 South Braeswood Boulevard has a limited time. Located practically across the street from TMC Helix Park and some vacant MD Anderson land. MD Anderson will need this hotel parcel in order to build. Although, it is nice to have some budget (regular) hotel options when you are sick. Maybe it's a good thing that this hotel is here. Here's some photos that I took today:
