They will then pop up in different colors on the map, each color identifies what the plat will be used for (residential, commercial, unrestricted, parks, etc). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinglyam Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 The KBR sight I was just at yesterday and was thinking you could easy but a city Centre type place on the size of that land Hopefully next cycle as Midtown and Montrose become too expensive. I wouldn't count on KBR before Hardy. Hardy Yards is already remediated and approved for construction, with nothing (known) near it. I'm not sure KBR is. Plus, KBR is right next door to the MDI site. While it's down to ground water monitoring only, I'm thinking that's going to put a damper on expansion. And don't forget, light rail. Not anywhere near KBR.

Naviguessor Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Frank Liu/Perey Homes has 500+ homes planned for the MDI site. Construction is supposed to start this year. I don't think that this plot of land is holding Cathexis (KBR site owner) back. But, something seems to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinglyam Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Take it for what it's worth, but I spoke to a future neighbor of mine on Everett, who said he had talked to one of the architects that was working on the Hardy Yards design. According to this AOAA (acquaintance of an acquaintance) news, Phase I of the Hardy Yards project is supposed to start in about 18 months. The guy showed me some images he supposedly was directed to by the architect, but they were those old "Hardy Yards Plaza" renderings that were posted here in 2013, including the miniature Eiffel tower. Since I can't find anything current, I take the construction start with a big grain of salt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd, according to the recent City Agenda a winning bid has been accepted for construction to begin late August or beginning of November on the actual Residences at the Hardy Yards portion. This construction phase is estimated to take up to 18 months to complete. Also here is an update on the Hernandez tunnel that was posted last week on District H Councilman Ed Gonzalez's website. Looks like the tunnel itself will be reopening in the next few weeks. I haven't driven by here in a while so I haven't gotten to see the portion of Burnett that opened July 17th.

I didn't realize it was two different contractors doing the work. That might explain why they are working on the south lanes to the east, and on the north lanes to the west. The portion of the road done by Metro appears to be about finished. They had poured what appears to be the last strip of concrete in their section earlier this week. The lines are already painted on the north lanes from Freeman east. The tunnel work does appear to be about finished. The concrete work looks like it's pretty much finished, anyway. I only drive by, so don't linger long enough to get the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinglyam Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Will the Burnett TC have parking for light rail users? There's a pretty annoying lack of spaces to park on this end of the red line. I'm pretty sure it's not. It's always been described as a "kiss and drop" location, and this far in town, land is too valuable to spend on parking. It's not like it's easily accessible from the freeways, anyway. Clearly this is intended as a true urban location, which means you ride transit, a bike, or walk there. What the Hardy Yards developers do is a different story, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinglyam Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Interesting that it stops at Chestnut.

Kinglyam Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 As long as they don't do This Way and That Way, but since it's not being developed by Dow engineers, we're probably good. I thought it was a promising, ahem, sign, that the developers see this as a destination development, and will put a lot of effort into making it worthwhile.

IamHouston Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Dallas/Houston high speed training has the Hardy Yards as 1 of 3 options to build Houston station.

Kinglyam Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 How big would this station be? As long as it can be melded in with the planned mixed use development, great. But if it's going to replace all of it, no thanks. That would kill development in Near Northside if they end up with just a rail station. Looking at the March "Last Mile" report, going into Hardy Yards was rated next-to-last of the options, so I question the likelihood that it is now a top-three. Plus, DH-2 goes down the median of I-10 and over I-45? I don't see that getting approved unless they officially kill the Uber-Alignment they've been talking about. This major piece of infrastructure would have to be torn down and rebuilt within a few years if that went through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFootsSocks Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 It was taken out of the FRA's latest report this week so there will not be any immediate downtown station. If/when there will be in the future, and if it is in this area, it will not require this development to be demolished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamHouston Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Just for shoots* and giggles, if I may add to the redundancy, ..we can all for very obvious reasons see that this is unlikely. But the mere fact that it was mentioned, gave it enough recognition for me to post it as a positive. The HY aren't going completely unnoticed as many here seem to believe, or therefore acknowledge.
