  1. I am sure this is somewhere on the going up, but I couldn't find it. Does anyone know how tall the new complex will be? I would guess Avalon Diner will be next to go.
  2. We understand that there is a picture of the Earl of Huntingdon somewhere in the Huntingdon Building. We have contacted the current Earl of Huntingdon who lives nearby, but he knows nothing about it. We woud appreciate if someone could confirm this, or a denial would be useful, and if so could they let us know which Earl of Huntingdon that the picture shows. The Earl of Huntingdon is the Lord Lieutenant of Leicestershire and is believed to be descended from Robin Hood. Thank you for any help.
  3. Midway is planning on redeveloping the current Levey Park on Richmond between Eastside and Wakeforest into a mini CityCentre-type development that will include a 16-story office, lofts, retail and a park. i've heard additional development is possible as well. renderings should be floating around soon i'm sure.
  4. Heh. Just saw this in "Selling Steakburgers," a memoir by Robert Cronin, who was the president of Steak n Shake from 1971 to 1981: Customers who had become a part of the great Texas migration in the late sixties and early seventies urged us to move into the Lone Star state. We responded with five stores in Houston in '76--5745 Westheimer, 2227 N. Gessner, 3730 Kirby, 811 S. Gessner, and 5322 FM 1960. A few pages later, Cronin writes:
  5. This??? http://www.thorequities.com/portfolio/the-kirby-collection/ Latest renderings and info as of 9/2015: http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/morning_call/2015/09/massive-kirby-mixed-use-project-to-break-ground.html
  6. At least Bed Bath and Beyond are sitting on a corner lot on a large tract of land on two incredibly busy commercial streets. That property is priceless. They need to sell that property and move on.
  7. Andy's migas, Kelley's mega-omelets and hash browns, House of Pies anything + cheese anyone frequent Avalon Diner?
  8. yesterday, i noticed that they finally tore down the former pub/club on the corner there -- the mismatched one that looked as if it were from a grimm's tale. i never took a photo of it because it irritated me so. its been empty for a good while and housing scary folks & lots of neighborhood mischief. does anyone know what's "going up" there? i can only assume something is since it has been empty for so long. does anyone remember that place for some reason i think it had pig in the name --or maybe it's that nursery tale it reminds me of.
  9. Houston Press and the Chronicle have announced the abrupt closure of all the remaining 59 Diner stores, with signs turning people away at Willowbrook and the original location, with calls to the remaining locations going unanswered.
  10. Jalapenos, the colorful restaurant near the corner of Kirby and Westheimer, will close its doors a the end of the year to make way for a huge new development on the land where the eatery has stood for 18 years. Recent Company News
  11. Proposed multifamily project in River Oaks on Mimosa Street, near Spann Street. SubdivisionPlatPDF_MimosaTerrace.pdf
  12. Taking over the old pharmacy building next to the Morning Star Senior Living apartments. Architect - https://trendarchitects.com
  13. Noticed this on Loopnet. 2828 Southwest Fwy - Four Points by Sheraton Greenway Plaza https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/2828-Southwest-Fwy-Houston-TX/23923870/ The Property is situated on 2.38 acres (103,569 square feet) of land, presenting a rare opportunity for a developer with flexibility to reposition or redevelop the Property into a different asset type. Alternatively, a new hotel investor will have the opportunity to realize the significant upside of acquiring and renovating an asset in a highly desirable submarket, substantially below replacement cost.
  14. I recall a demo permit for this property a while back. Architect - https://www.georgeallencole.com
  15. https://www.colorfactory.co/houston Color Factory is a collaborative experiential exhibit designed to awaken audiences to the everyday yet brilliant presence of color. This summer, a new palette will be popping up in Houston, featuring work from our favorite artists and creatives. We hope you will celebrate the serendipity, generosity, and discovery of color with us.
  16. I haven't been to Chuy's in a while. My father and I used to come here on our weekly meetups. What does everyone think about the food here at Chuy's? I think the chips are a little too think and broken. I'm not a fan of their house salsa either, I don't like that salsa fresca. I prefer other types of salsa like a ranchero or habanero salsa. Malina's in Bellaire (or Southside Place) has a unique salsa. One of their house salsa has vinegar, or pickle juice added. It's a little tangy! Does anyone else think Chuy's needs a parking garage? Their surface lot is considerably small for the amount of business they bring. Since the pandemic, they also took some of the surface lot for to-go orders. Looking on Google Maps, there is a lot of space. However, it's kind of extravagant to build a garage for a restaurant. I believe, in due time, this parcel will be combined with the retail parcel to the left and sold for high-rise development. It's a lot of space in a high valued area, and single-story buildings will be phased out.
  17. Went to Little Pappasitos of Richmond and Kirby and they said they lost there lease. Walked to Office Depot and Supercuts they said the whole lot will be torn down! They just have till the end of the year. Urbannizer or Subdue have you heard anything?
  18. I searched for a thread in this but didn't see one. The realtor has for years put up all these signs saying it's back. To me, this is certainly a place for apts and GFR. Why, in this market is the shopping center dead except for Amy's Ice Cream and Freebirds? I would post a photo of it but don't know how yet.
  19. Maybe I'm being a bit naive and believing the hype, but Colliers International is putting this site up for sale and pumping it up (as they all do, no?). Maybe it's not as great as they say since they reveal that the property is only 45% leased as of now. Still, it does seem like a pretty good location. It reminds me of nw corner Weslayan & 59 b/c of the gas station on the corner. Are apartments the destiny of this location as well? Is this location really as unique as they claim it will be and truly the last site of it's kind to become available for years to come? I doubt I guess, but it's a place for us to keep an eye on. Property addresses: 2600 Southwest Plaza 3930 Kirby Drive 3910 Kirby Drive http://colliersintlhou.visibli.com/share/4SPSFe
  20. According to my salesman, Momentum Audi is going to be building a new 7-story dealership between Farnham and S Shepherd at 59 (the area behind 59 Diner) -- construction to start sometime in 2012 with completion in 2013
  21. I always see the infamous Nitya Tower while driving on 59. Today I stopped by for a closer look. I do like the outside tenant signage structure. Good use of materials. Leasing is done by Texas Overland. The building has some cool lights on the exterior facade.
