KatieDidIt Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 We walked around where we could this weekend and I'm really impressed. I really don't like most of these Town Market Centers because they're attempting to "be" or imitate something. CityCentre isn't trying to be a movie set or a street from a bi-gone era, it's what it is; and open air urban shopping district.I'm not a huge shopper so I doubt I will park and walk it often, but it does have a few things I will visit a couple times a year. Not hugely impressed with some of the restaurant choices, most are upscale chain. Anyway, I think they did a great job for the Memorial Area. I don't think residents would have bought into the 1950's movie set look, so this was a good choice.Does anyone know how the lofts and apartments are doing in pre-renting or sales?

banking214 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Walked around City Centre this weekend. Looking really nice. The grass is planted and the fountains are flowing in front of the hotel. I think when this is finished, it is going to be a great addition to the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeats Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Does anyone know how the lofts and apartments are doing in pre-renting or sales?The Domain was having an open house when we drove through the place this weekend. Not sure about the lofts, though. And what I'm really curious about is whether or not those super-expensive "brownstones" are ever going to sell.On a related note, RA Sushi looks like it's almost ready to open. Had the patio furniture out and everything. I love their corner location, overlooking the main square and the fountains; great little perch up there, even if the food is moo.

mikehtown Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 We had dinner at RA tonight. They've got a great happy hour menu and pretty good sushi.It looks like they're having an open house for the apartments/lofts. I don't think the brownstones are moving quickly... it seems the consensus is that they're a bit (or a lot) pricey. Maybe they'll be more appealing after the city centre project is closer to being completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasdago Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 We ate at Ra a couple of weeks ago, right after they opened and plan on going again this week for happy hour. They've done a nice job and are building a huge patio out back. The area in front of the Hotel Sorella looks nice, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The area in front of the Hotel Sorella looks nice, too!We ate at Pronto in City Centre and found it very good, a nice reasonably priced place. Also Studio Movie Grill here is very good. Cant wait for Brio and others to complete and open. The Fire and Water landscape in front of the new hotel Sorella I believe is very nice also. This area is going to be awesome if it can deliver on its plan concepts in this tough market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psilverot Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 They need to update their website... Anthropologie is about to open... Had I not gone to the "centre" I would not know of this. Yes, that makes three for the Houston area! We ate at Pronto in City Centre and found it very good, a nice reasonably priced place. Also Studio Movie Grill here is very good.

SpringShadows Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Yard House looks amazing. Went to Ra this weekend, the place was mad busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasdago Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 They had a band playing on the plaza on Thursday night... quite a few people came out to hang out on the lawn. Mona Lisa set up a cash bar out there so you could buy beer, mixed drinks or wine. Straits was open and Yard House was still in the works. They're doing a really nice job there.

Mona Lisa set up a cash bar out there so you could buy beer, mixed drinks or wine. Straits was open and Yard House was still in the works. They're doing a really nice job there.I drove by on Thursday night because I thought I heard music and lo and behold... Live band! I was pleasantly shocked to see so many people strolling around and sitting on/around the lawn. Can't wait to see the crowds when the development is finished. I really am surprised at how well they're pulling this all off so far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasdago Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Stayed at Hotel Sorella this weekend - great hotel, nice attention to detail and very clean, modern design. The Monnalisa bar was packed and there were people out and about at Straits and Ra. Really love that this center is growing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumapayam Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Why does Domain at City Centre's website have downtown Atlanta in the background? http://domainatcitycentre.com/Because we secretly wish we were just as cool at Atlanta.Nice catch, looks like the website designer is clearly not from Houston and added a mistagged stock image.

They are closing most, if not all, of their stores. Including the one in the Houston Galleria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeebus Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Went to happy hour at RA Friday then strolled around the grounds. Its very nice. I think come this time next year it will really be something to see, with all the shops open for business.Oh, parking was a bear - but we got lucky and caught a parallel spot right in front of RA!

jgriff Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 My wife and I had dinner at Bistro Alex Saturday night. I had the Osso Bucco and it was the best I've had. The Hotel's bar and lounge area around the pool was packed. Our waitress took us into the yet-to-open Cafe Rose. It's got a coffee menu similar to Starbucks but serving all Illy coffee.
