ADCS Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 18 minutes ago, Houston19514 said: I think the idea was more park land, not room for development. No doubt there will be park land on the south side of Memorial, along with the area adjacent to Spotts Park, but I'd be shocked if the northwest side weren't developed. It's already isolated from the rest of the Buffalo Bayou Park system, and would be one of the most prime plots of land for a residential tower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADCS Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Sure. But master plans are rarely developed to their original specifications. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angostura Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 20 hours ago, ADCS said: I'd say that would be the perfect spot for a SPUI. Only question is if you keep running Waugh over Memorial, or elevate Memorial, keeping Waugh at surface level and facilitating development in the areas freed up by the removal of the outside ramps. Another of the configurations floated for this was "right-turn" ramps only, with michigan lefts (u-turn lanes on Waugh). The only real area opened up for development would be on the NW corner of the intersection. The NE corner would probably be an expansion of Spotts Park, and the SE and SW corners would probably be given over to BBP. But selling the land on the NW corner could defray part of the cost. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully if the cloverleaf is removed, Memorial would be stretched northward to create more parkland adjacent to the bayou. Floodplain is also a major factor. With all the high end development happening nearby, might not be a bad idea to have a large bowl/sponge right here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had read they owned some of those commercial properties a few months back. Would like to see them consume lots like the old J Blacks, enterprise, etc to make that entire block more cohesive and conducive to walkable mixed use. And get rid of that smoke shop on the corner. As a side note, I wouldn't hate another Lifetime gym here. Citycentre's location is inconvenient to the point of demotivating to even attempt to go. Unless you office out of citycentre or live within 2 miles.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 I don't think one entity owns all of those properties. HCAD shows different owners with different addresses. Doesn't mean they aren't related, but it's unlikely. When I get time, I'll see if the County Clerk's office shows any changes that aren't in HCAD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get rid of the double-row of surface parking in front of the HEB. In fact, since there's all that structured parking, get rid of ALL the surface parking. Then you can make the RoW's of the internal streets much narrower (say, 20 ft), with retail on both sides, and restrict a lot of them to pedestrian (plus emergency vehicle/delivery) access. With narrow RoW's, you don't need street trees, since buildings provide the shade. That lets you get rid of the stupid, useless street-side "green space" that no one uses and put in actual park space that people DO use. Why you would put in 140-ft right-of-ways in a pedestrian-oriented development is beyond me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visitor Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 This is from 2015, wonder how realistic this project is? I haven't heard or seen much about it recently. Would fit in with what it seems they are doing at buffalo heights. Really interested to see the plan for the remainder of the Archstone lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visitor Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I recall them making a reference to it being "like city centre, but better". Haven't seen any type of master plan yet. If that comes to fruition it would transform Washington Ave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visitor Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) I didn't snap a pic but from Yale/Washington this looks massive all of a sudden. Really looking forward to it and the rest of the infill that it may spur. Personally I'd love to see that heights/Washington quadrant completely redeveloped. Porch swing/car wash/cafe luxor/smoke shop/jblacks(new bbq spot)/enterprise/old cash advance & dry cleaner all razed. I use that enterprise often, go to Sammies, and am looking forward to the bbq spot. But that area has so much more potential. Especially aesthetically and with regard to walkability.
