20thStDad Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Forgive me, the noob, is there a thread on here discussing density? If not, let us. Haha. So many. I think we should keep this thread to the project, otherwise it might go the way of the Walmart thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barracuda Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I beg to differ. Their tongue tacos rock!I thought the place was only good late at night after drinking. Even then it's not very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevfiv Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I remember Ruchi's used to have some restaurants labeled Americas (or something similar) and some El Rincon de Mexico (they're all this way now I think) - the Americas ones seemed to have less spicy salsa and food..I go to the one off Fuqua/45 once in a long while and it's decent - it also used to be a Double Dave's Pizza so all the booths have "DD" etched in to them..

editor Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 So much for "high rise." Only five stories Sad for such a good location.I'll update the thread title.Added to the interactive map of Houston projects: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=206730043409095570269.0004a96360f502ee46915&msa=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largeTEXAS Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 So much for "high rise." Only five stories Sad for such a good location.I think a midrise is much better for this location. In fact, 5 stories is the perfect height IMO. Plus, what highrises have street-level retail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockmat Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 This is right across the street from where the Trader Joe's is going? The apt dwellers are gonna fill that place up.Just by the rendering, it looks like this will be an awesome project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockmat Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 what rendering? from post #34 http://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/14817-development-at-shepherd-and-w-alabama/page__view__findpost__p__389773 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTAWACS Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Ah... thank you very much.yes it does look nice... however, if they were to incorporate a tall tower it could be set back a little... but then again, maybe the streets here wont be able to support such traffic?

Geoff8201 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 from post #34 http://www.houstonar...post__p__389773 Looks so much like a smaller West Ave... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidegate Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) It's appropriately scaled & positioned relative to that corner. I like it.Maybe with all this infill we could vote for some light rail in the area. Oh....wait......

tormina Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Unfortunately, this ended up as a suburban CVS store. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nativehoustonion Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Also they tore down a apartment complex across from the Alabama Ice House to build a midrise. Now it is fenced off an there are sewer pipes there but no activity for over a year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CREguy13 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Question: Does anyone know what is planned for the large cleared lot just North of West Alabama Ice House - 2 blocks East of this intersection. Is there an existing thread for that project? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there an existing thread for that project? it was supposed to be an 8 story apartment complex, can't remember the developer. there's a thread for it somewhere. i'd much prefer they appropriate it to the city who in turn converts it into greenspace, mostly bc i could then cut across it to get to WAIH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
