Don't forget Randall's & Whole Foods on Bellaire Blvd, plus the Randall's on Weslayen. The grocery market in the West U area is already saturated; when the "super Kroger" opened, it took a lot of business away from the Weslayen Randall's. The new HEB will probably put the nail in the coffin for the Weslayan Randall's, as it is the oldest grocery store in the area, and was designed to 1980s standards.

I thought there was already a thread about this, but I can't find one, so I will include all the information I know. At 2715 Bissonnet in West U, diagonally across the street from the old Coca Cola bottling plant, there is a two-story shopping center from the 1960s or 1970s, which is being torn down for redevelopment. Plans for redevelopment have been going on for a while; this flyer was posted in 2017 when a company called Edge was marketing it. More recently, BPI realty has been marketing it, with the following rendering common to both flyers, showing a one-story strip mall: And here is the site plan: In November, the city of West University Place had a hearing to replat it. The existing development is called The Upper Kirby Building, not to be confused with a building of the same name on Richmond, and other places have referred to it as the Shoppes at Upper Kirby and the Shops at West U, so I am uncertain of what the name of the final development will be. Swamplot reported on the imminent demolition of the existing buildings, including this pre-demolition photo: Here are some photos I took of it today during demolition:

Anyone know the low down on "Darth Vader's" house on the corner of Buffalo Speedway and University? That's what my kids call the all black house that's been there for quite a while. Very prominent.

This shopping center is at Buffalo Speedway & Westpark. Across the street from H-E-B. This center is anchored by Kroger. Noticed Vietopia vacated their spot after a decade. They are now located at the Southwest Freeway service road by Whataburger. Went to eat there last night. Same great food! Definitely a smaller footprint. Probably had to downsize due to Covid. Found an old drawing from the realtor's website. http://www.rhsint.com/plaza-in-the-park.html

The hard copy paper version mentioned specifically that they anticipated the Bissonnet location would get redeveloped and cited its proximity to West U, but without zoning since it's in Houston "Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages plans to close its two existing plants, one off Bissonnet and the other off Gulfgate, after moving its production and distribution operations to Pinto Business Park." https://www.chron.com/business/real-estate/article/Coca-Cola-to-build-1M-square-foot-bottling-plant-12955383.php

Is looking like its going to be a master-piece! I love the way it engages the street, going right up to the setback instead of putting the parking lot in front. Has a butterfly roof. Really looking forward to this. Will take some pictures.

Public hearing to be held at the Southside Place City Hall Council Chambers, 6309 Edloe Ave., Southside Place, Texas, on Tuesday, January 29 at 7pm. Southside Place wants allow 45 townhomes (3-1/2 stories tall) to be built at 3747 Bellaire Blvd. (the corner of Bellaire Blvd. at Auden/Braes -- the former location of Shell Oil Research). They are seeking to rezone the property from LIM (Low Intensity Mixed Use) to PD (Planned Development) and also would like to break the building height restrictions. Houses and townhomes in that area have been limited to 2-1/2 stories in the past, but the developer (5177 Builders, Ltd., dba Lovett Homes) wants to make these new townhomes 3-1/2 stories high. People in the area, including the residents of the 3800 block of Gramercy which is located behind the Shell Oil property, have raised a number of concerns. While people welcome the land being developed and new homes being built, they question the number and height of the proposed units. Residents are worried about increased traffic; overcrowding at the two neighborhood schools Mark Twain Elementary and Pershing Middle School; overtaxing of the existing infrastructure (electric, water, sanitary sewer, gas); safety issues (for the Southside Volunteer Fire Dept. and Southside police); not to mention the aesthetic appearance of 3-1/2 story tall buildings crowded next to the busy street of Bellaire Blvd. There also concerns that as to what might happen later on to the middle parcel of land (where the main Shell Oil building and water tower are now located) and the land parcel next to the Old Farm Ditch (which is currently a parking lot and some service buildings). What happens now with the corner property might very well determine what happens later for the rest of the Shell Oil property. People who are interested in the future of this property and the neighborhoods of Southside and Braes Heights should attend the meeting.

Dear all, I plan to build a house in West U. Am lookink for an architect to design a modern style 3000 s.f. home on a 50 by 100 lot. I have two questions: 1. I would really appreciate recommendation of a capable and affordable architect who can do the design work for me. I have a budget around 7 grand. I am not looking for some fancy stuff, just a modern style home with open floor plan and some of my own "wants and desires." 2. I learned from this forum that the design cost is around $2/s.f.; however, when I called a couple of architect company, they are asking for 4-7% of the building cost, which they estimated will be around $150 per s.f. This translates the design cost to $6-10/s.f. Are they trying to take advantage or the $2/s.f. average is no longer a standard today? Thanks a lot! Hunter

Sad story in the examiner about the auto repair shop on Edloe being forced out. I can't imagine what a developer would want to do with that location since JMH is already sitting there idle and no one has stepped up to redevelop that location. Makes we wonder what is to be the future of "downtown". If there were more cafe/restaurant/shopping options we would walk over there a lot more often, but it's such an isolated location I don't think it can support all that with competition from the village being so close. examiner story

The notoriously smelly West University sewage plant doesn't have the trees around it anymore (because of "Homeland Security" reasons) and apparently the smell is wafting farther out now. Honestly, I drive by here often and it has smelled as bad as it always had. Maybe I just caught it at a good time... http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=...article-6842622

I didn't see a thread up on this yet; if I missed it I apologize. Southside Place approved Koontz-McCombs to develop a mid-rise apartment building where the Blair House apartments are now. This is the same development company that did City Vista on West Dallas. The location is in place of the red brick apartments next door to the bowling alley on Bellaire Blvd. at Academy. Blair House is an eyesore in that area; empty space would be an improvement, but greater high-end residential density is even better. I'm surprised this got through the P&Z people and city council.
