BigSky Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 It is 4 including the parking garage. BTW, I've spoke to 2 of the venues and they are without a doubt opening in October. HOB will be up and running in October and Lucky Strike will be finished by November. THis thing is going to revolutionize downtown houston. I have coworkers all buzzing about shopping in downtown houston and anyone that has eaten at the park shops over the last 20 years has to be excited to get an entire gang of new restaurants into the downtown area.

I've worked on the east side of downtown for the last year, and I'm getting outrageously sick of the same restaurants over there. Especially since the only affordable ones worth anything are the Grove, Irma's, and Massa's.Does anyone know where the main tenants are going to be located? Obviously, HOB is on the east side, and I saw a sign for Guadalajara under the overpass on San Jac. What about Lucky Strike, Forever 21, Polk St. Pub, and the bookstore?

CasaNova Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Do any of you guys have any idea what kind and where they are going to place the jumbotron/plasma screens? I know they will probably wait closer to opening day, but I have no clue where they could possible put the screens, how many, and what kind. I kind am eager to see the finishing touches, and I hope that they meet my expectations, since many have been deflated already by the exterior design they have chosen thus far. Maybe the interior will compensate for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tierwestah Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Just drove by HP on Friday, it looks pretty bland from the outside exterior. I hope they decorate the walls because that cladding is YUCK.I'm thinking the jumbotrons are going on the inside panels on the skybridge off Fannin.

Houston19514 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I just got back from downtown. Strolled around HP while I was down there. It is progressing very nicely. McCormick & Schmick's (at the corner of Fannin & Dallas, IIRC) is very nearly finished on the insde. The tables are even in there already. Books a Million (at the corner of Main & Polk) is installing shelving and looks very nice.Forever XXI (at the corner of Main & Dallas) has started interior work.Guadalarja del Centro will be at the corner of Dallas & San Jacinto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick and Schmick's looks like it will be open soon too. The rest of the development still looks a bit unfinished, so my guess is that they're going to be opening in phases.

tierwestah Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 While i'm excited about this development, I'm very disappointed in the architecture and the miniscule lighting effects so far.

I thought this thing was supposed to be ornamented with video screens?I'd say give it time! It's October but they haven't even put the signs up yet. I think that the finishing touches will compensate for the yawn architecture of most of the place. At least I hope so. FWIW, I saw wires hanging outside the building at the Main/Polk corner, so there should be some sort of electrical something going up there.By the way, though the development looks underwhelming in pics or driving by, it still is impressive when walking along all three blocks of it.

wernicke Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Drove by tonight... still no signage. McCormick and Schmidt's looks finished... Books-A-Million looks nearly finished... there were workers inside Forever 21 doing sheet-rocking at 1030 PM. It looks good, some places better than others... I hope Books-A-Million has some nice study areas. And it looks like they have a lot of trees to be planted along the streets, which should look nice.
