htownproud Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Fingers crossed we get a mattress store there. It's so inconvenient to drive to Mattrose or the stores on Sunset/Kirby. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alternativemike Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I wish I could get that Miyako sign off the top of the building! One side of that would make a really cool (and REALLY big) wall piece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 The demolition of the buildings -- 3910 Kirby, 3930 Kirby and 2600 Southwest Freeway -- is expected to be complete around April, according to Dorothy McDonald, who works for the owner of the buildings... The buildings being demolished are owned by an entity affiliated with the Triyar group of companies based in Los Angeles. A principal with the company could not be reached early Tuesday.http://www.chron.com/business/real-estate/article/Kirby-buildings-meet-wrecking-mall-6725660.phpA taste of what they are doing... Current Projects Triyar Hospitality, LLCTriyar Hospitality is currently developing an exciting W Hotel and Residences in Scottsdale Arizona.

AREJAY Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Triyar group, the entity that owns the land, has an office in the BB&T tower directly across Norfolk St from the demo work. So they have likely been eyeing this land for a while now... ha ha, get it? Sorry, I'll see myself out now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naviguessor Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I hope I'm wrong. But, I am getting a feeling that this is going to be a big box store. Hope I'm wrong. Does anyone have a clue? Have I missed it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I thought a demolition permit was also issued for the parking garage. I got the impression this was a move to lower the holding costs of the property. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htownproud Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I have a suspicion this will be an empty lot for years, like the stain on the city scape that regent square has become. At least here, they have the market as an excuse for not building. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
