eelimon Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Does anyone know where the greyhound station is going to be built?North of downtown between the UH Downtown campus parking lot off of Main St and the Bayou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmainguy Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Does anyone know where the greyhound station is going to be built? I think the bus station is to be included in the intermodal facility at N. Main and Burnett-just north of the vehicular tunnel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasboy Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I think the bus station is to be included in the intermodal facility at N. Main and Burnett-just north of the vehicular tunnel. WOW. Talk about a crowded station, but I like that. We need some sort of Grand Central Station in Houston. METRO buses, BRTs, light rail vehicles, and greyhound buses at on station? WOW. It helps it will be in downtown too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robot Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I found this posted in the Houston Construction thread on SSP. Anybody have news on this? It looks like a restoration for a mixed use property. Located near the old Central Square Building in Midtown. I thought I just read in the houston business journal that this location is going to be leased to a starbucks franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eelimon Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 (edited) Is this it? Yes that is the one the paper was talking about. central square is not being developed but the building on corner of Gray and Milam will be developed soon and that is what this topic is about. Does anyone know anything about it? Edited November 6, 2005 by eelimon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 North of downtown between the UH Downtown campus parking lot off of Main St and the BayouIsn't that really close to the "Amtrak" Station? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Isn't that really close to the "Amtrak" Station?Pretty close, maybe a third to a half mile away. Amtrak is on Washington, a hundred feet or so west of the I-45 overpass. The plan is to reroute the Amtrak rail line slightly north to the intermodal facility.

largeTEXAS Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 This one will probably take a while since it's not in the hottest part of Midtown. But, it will happen and the developers are dedicated to urban projects. They are also kicking ass all over Midtown. In the next few months we'll see some cool stuff in the 'hood.

WesternGulf Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 It may not be the hottest area in Midtown, but Smith and Drew is not a "hot" area? This is a few blocks north of the Calais @ Courtlandt Square. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest danax Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Great. The design looks vaguely 50s-60s. There's another project, a strip mall, that is almost complete at Washington/Shepherd which also looks similar, sort-of. I'm wondering if they're perhaps the same developer or designer.

citykid09 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 That is really nice, but it would look even nicer with about 2-3 stories on top of that. The way it looks now, I think that design would look nice in Montrose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way it looks now, I think that design would look nice in Montrose.Yeah what they really should do is put in an Atlantic Station rip off in there. That would look fantastic.This is a nice looking project as is. Not everything needs to me multi storied. Keeping it one storied will make the open area in the middle even nicer I think and more open. Won't feel cramped. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping it one storied will make the open area in the middle even nicer I think and more open. Won't feel cramped. I like it.I think citykid likes the dense city look, and so do I, but this looks good and will help Midtown get closer to that filled-in, 21st century design district that it has been teasing us with for 10 years.Could this be one of the last new construction, single-story projects in Midtown? At what point does land get so expensive that building up is the only way to make a profit? Do the so-called new urbanist, mixed-use, multi-story projects have more to do with making smart use of expensive real estate in the inner city than just something new and hip?I like the feel of mixed levels of buildings within a district so this, along with the few other nearby single story retail centers, will be good to have once everything else around is mid-rise or higher.
