Mr.Clean19 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I believe it is going to replace it... but who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naviguessor Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Several months ago Paul (owner of TNP) showed me the plans. TNP will have a new home within this development. All going well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Clean19 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Word on the street is that these visuals of Section 1 were leaked by a vendor and that Midway did not intend on the public seeing them....

I think they underestimated people's ability to find documents like this without specifically having it labeled under East River. Probably part of their direct to retailers marketing materials but as indicated by their lack of updates on their website and social media, not quite intended for public consumption. They have been mostly silent since the bid for Amazon. Even when they added new renderings, it was simply added into the brochure without any announcement. I'd imagine they wanted to wait until a few retailers were committed to share this. Every morning I drive past the lot and there are definitely construction workers moving dirt around. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats exactly why I'm skepical of the prior post. Boots are on the ground and moving dirt. You aren't moving dirt unless the project is permitted, approved, and out the door. Do accidents happen? Sure. But this notion that nobody is ever competent in these positions, ever, is just wrong, dead wrong. The odds of it being that kind of accident are slim to none. Your line of reasoning is definitely more rational. That they probably wanted to lock down a few more tenants in areas before a grand promotion, but we also haven't had Midway deny the renderings either. Its more likely that this "word on the street" is just someone being a little pissy in a meeting with Midway. With dirt moving lets avoid this speculation telephone game and only let actual sources, that aren't anonymous, make that shift in conversation. That post was the equivalent to yelling fire in a crowded theater. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to add to that, there were two large construction vehicles from Cherry Demolition that had remained on site—as late as this last weekend—from when the warehouses along Jensen were demolished a few months back. As of yesterday they had finally been removed. I take that as another indication that they are close to actually breaking ground. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllenOlenska Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I love this alligator conversation. Alligators aren't supposed to care for larger prey or prey foreign to their habits--humans are both. We all associate all crocodilia with saltwater or nile crocs which WILL KILL YOU. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naviguessor Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Actually Samagon, that is the KBR building that Midway controls and not the proposed development across Clinton that Crockpot was referencing. Midway surprised Paul, the owner of The New Potato, by lighting up the building with “TNP” on St Patrick’s Day. It was an awesome gesture...but, not a paid advertisement. It looks great! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post I'm Not a Robot Posted April 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) https://www.eastenddistrict.com/multi-million-dollar-investments-in-east-end-houston-break-ground/ Quote East River East River is a new 150-acre complex currently being developed by real estate developer Midway. The complex will be situated across the historic Hill Street Bridge on Jensen Drive, completed in 1937. East River will be home to a state-of-the-art residential and business community, nestled along a mile-long area of Buffalo Bayou designed with European-style plazas which will integrate three miles of walking and biking trails. The waterway and green spaces surrounding the complex will support outdoor events while building a healthy sustainable future. East River will also offer businesses easy access to major arteries such as I-10, I-59, I-45 as well as Hobby Airport. The land was purchased from KBR in 2016. The planning and development to transform the area will be completed in phases with plans for final completion by 2029. Phase one is already underway.

Mr.Clean19 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 The timing works out with the completion of the 45 re-route and the rest of the area would have developed significantly.

Popular Post arche_757 Posted April 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) I must admit the quality of ideas in regard to development has drastically improved over the last 20 years. East River, Station Houston and TMC3 (among others), while different entirely in what they are - are the sort of forward thinking, large, transformative projects Houston was known for decades ago. Those 3 alone will greatly alter the landscape in town. This is an entire new district created in an area where these sort of projects wouldn’t have happened with the developers of the 90’s and early 00’s. At all. Midway has - in my opinion - clearly separated itself from anyone not named Hines in this town. Good for them. Better for us.
