  1. this building is shaping up pretty well. i'm excited about its completion (correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think it's done yet? what do y'all think? i'm sorry, i keep having trouble posting images--i find an image on a site, but what exactly is the url for the image itself? can anyone help this poor, lost building dork?
  2. http://www.houstonisd.org/vgn/images/porta...vedboundary.pdf The zoning boundary of St. George Place Elementary was revealed. The school will include St. George Place, Afton Oaks, and several other neighborhoods. Pilgrim Elementary is being relocated to a new location. By the way, it looks like Pilgrim will be the school that serves a bunch of apartment complexes while the homes are zoned to SGP. See: * http://www.houstontx.gov/planning/suprnbhd...use/sn20lu.html * http://www.houstontx.gov/planning/suprnbhd...use/sn21lu.html * http://www.houstontx.gov/planning/suprnbhd...use/sn23lu.html And compare the maps.
  3. I was driving into town yesterday and notice a new construction crane off of woodway. It looked to be about 20 stories high. Can anyone tell me what this is for?
  4. It is clear by now that many developers are focusing rennovating the strip of Post Oak from Westheimer to San Felipe. What about the areas between San Felipe and 610 (towards uptown Park?) The only building that fits the neighborhood is 1200 Post Oak Blvd. (apt. complex across from the McDonalds.) Everything else is old (i.e., Inverness and Winhall condos and dreadful 111 Post Oak Apts.). Those developments stick out like a sore thumb when looking at the beuaty and architecture of Uptown Park, Montebello, Villa D'este, and 1200 Post Oak, etc). Are there any plans to do massive reconstruction for those areas to better align with the rest of the proposed projects on Post Oak Blvd? Lastly, what is the "Great Room"? (the "tent" building by the Bently dealership)

  6. Nice article on a new development in the Up-Town area. http://www.bizjournals.com/bizspace/housto...tory_id=1176985 The property is located at: here I thought the comment on Houston's good ol' laissez faire property development in lieu of legislative land use restrictions was interesting. It was just one of those things you knew, but hadn't really thought of it that way.
  7. A new elementary school will be built for the Galleria area that will relieve nearby schools. The School @ Post Oak will relocate to the St. George Place school when it opens, as will Briargrove Elementary. Briargrove will move out once the new Briargrove campus is complete. St. George Place will also take some of the zoning boundary of Will Rogers Elementary School, which is closing because the land it is on was sold.
  8. I was driving down Sage this morning to ge my breakfast at Chica Fila, and could not help but notice the huge crane that is imbetween the apartment complex 3000 sage and the new shopping center still under construction. It is much taller than the one they have up at the Holiday Inn construciton site. Does anyone have any idea what they are building? Just curious.
  9. The retirement home going up behind "Raising Cane" chicken strip place (on Westheimer) get to smell that DELICIOUS grease frying all night!!! LUCKY THEM!! LOL!!

  11. I am relatively new to Houston, but I have noticed the beauty of the Uptown/Galleria area. This seems to be an area that everyone wants to get to, but the price of rentals and ownerships separate the haves from the have nots. In light of all the new developments in the area (seemingly high rises, with the exception of the Manhattan to name one) I have noticed several condos in the area that do not "fit": 1. The Inverness - at the corner of Post Oak and Uptown Blvd 2. The Winhall - Corner of Post Oak and Four Oaks Place (by Willie G's restaurant) 3. The ugliest one of them all I do not know the name to. They rest on Post Oak Blvd. next to McDonalds near Post Oak and 610 loop. Of the three, the Winhall seems to be the nicest to live. Very quaint and they have been renovated nicely. The other two seem to be in terrible condition, but may have the highest developmental value for demo/reconstruction due to lot size. My question is such: will these properties be torn down to "fit" the look and feel of the neighborhood? If so, what happens to the current home owners? Buy outs? Does anyone have any credible insight to the direction this section of Post Oak is heading? I am looking to purchase and the range of these condos are tremendously less than others, but I am concerned about the value and how long the will exist.
  12. If you look at the new shopping center being built next to Montebello, it sure does seem like these older condo units have limited time left, more so the one called the Inverness Townhomes at 800 Post Oak Blvd. I am relatively new here and I have no solid proof of anything. As far as I know, these units may be here for another 20 years. hard to imagine that though since they are sandwiched between homes that cost upwards of 500K. the older condos in question go for about 90K for a 1BR.
