I’m worried Midway will just turn this development into another citycentre, furthering the patchwork of sprawl that is Houston 10 minutes to travel 2 or 3 miles is evidence of connectivity problems?

I def agree with that sentiment but yeah at the moment it's not the easiest development to travel to other than in a car. You can get to the site by bike along the trails, but that area around Jensen is sketchy with the homeless encampment. I've rode to that area many times on my bike on the streets and it's not the most seamless route. It would be nice to see what plans there are for Navigation/Jensen to make it a more multimodal street.

Naviguessor Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I really don't see that East River is competing with downtown or will detract from downtown. It close, but it is separate. It's not like Eado, which operates almost in unison, or perhaps competes with downtown, in terms of nightlife. Transportation and road connections are awkward, especially when there is a Game or Match, or Event at any of the stadiums Convention Center or Arena which separate the districts. Becoming connected to surrounding areas is something that East River will have to overcome to allure folks from more than a mile away. But, it is building off of a lot of energy in the area and will have enough to it, to make it stand alone...and, I believe, that it will have a unique vibe due to its location on the River/Bayou and it will be connected directly with Jensen Street Bridge and a pedestrian bridge at Gregg, to Navigation, which will be symbiotic. It does appear that Midway is struggling a bit to confirm tenants, but perhaps this is an opening for smaller, more localized businesses, retailers and restaurateurs to get into a quality development that they otherwise would not be able to manage, and create a more unique, interesting district. The last thing that I would want is the same list of chain restaurants and shops that exist at City Center to occupy ER. I just wouldn't go very often.

My goodness, we are spoiled with how easy it is to get around our central city. This must be a joke comment. Freight rail activity in the east end is not a minor inconvenience. I'm not a train hater, but I understand how it affects the area. Train blockages can profoundly impact traffic during peak periods or situations where numerous lines are blocked for hours at the same time. The Galveston subdivision was blocked for 15 hours or greater three times in the last six months. The east belt was blocked for 23 hours by a single train this year. Prolonged blockages have been shown to keep kids from getting to school, and HFD wrote to the FRA that train blockages have caused emergency response times to jump from the stated goal of 10 minutes or less to 45 minutes or more 1,500 times this year -- through the third quarter 2022. The railroads claim first-responders get preferential treatment (if they call, the train will move or be broken, they say). If it takes first-responders 45 minutes, the above 10-minute claim is in no way grounded in reality. The latest TxDOT Houston region freight rail study found the uptick in stopped trains combined with consist length increases has resulted in an $800 million economic loss for east Houston businesses -- commercial and industrial. The study identified myriad roads that need separation to improve connectivity -- the same roads as all prior studies dating back to 2011 (Sampson/York/Hirsch/Waco, Lockwood, Commerce, new Navigation tunnel to replace the aging one) -- but there's a well-documented history of these projects stalling as a result of railroad protest over what they state will be negative impacts on daily operations during construction. East River is on a stretch of the bayou along a rail line between Towers 5 and 86, which is commonly blocked by stopped trains for hours at a time practically daily. If the Houston line is also blocked, the development is not completely isolated but reachable by only a few roads. I can understand why businesses with the coin to do feasibility studies would be hesitant to come over at this time (although I want them to). Hopefully things change in the future, but maybe I'm just spoiled. Edited December 23, 2022 by JClark54 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everything you wrote is totally fair, and the extended rail blockages are absolutely a problem that may significantly affect the success of East River. But what Houston19514 said was that describing traveling 2-3 miles in 10 minutes (which is not at all unheard of around Downtown) as evidencr of "connectivity problems" is pretty wild, and I think that is absolutely fair. In downtown Boston or New York, 3 miles in 10 minutes would be just about a record pace. Of course, 3 miles is a lot "further" in terms of destinations in those cities, and personally I would rather things be closer and traffic slower than the reverse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JClark54 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) Trains utilizing the Houston complex have grown from approximate max lengths of 3,000 feet in the 1950s to approximate max lengths of 10,000 feet today. In filings with the Surface Transportation board, the major Class Is that own trackage here claim Canadian Pacific plans to run eight to 14 trains in excess of 12,000 feet long per day if its proposed merger with Kansas City Southern is approved. Studies from myriad entities usually align in that the major driver of train blockages in the east end is yard size and train length. They were predominately built in and around 1900, when trains were shorter. Current lengths no longer fit in the yard. So they extend out when switching and must wait for those passing through to clear the main lines before entering. Thus, street parking. Englewood has enough space to build sidings sizable enough to support these longer trains running today. UP hasn't invested in them to the extent needed to take train parking off city streets, regulators claim.

And surely, even if they are following the rules, the hour they are allowed is acceptable! That's a bit of sarcasm. I'm also not anti rail. There needs to be a better solution. There's not much hope of any real solution considering the state of our government. People who move here just need to accept what it is and learn to navigate around.

It wasn't intentional. I doubt the railroads are worried about customer product stolen from trains. It appears they build in protections for these scenarios into contracts. I came across a unique tidbit while watching the STB's public hearing on UP's growing use of embargoes, a mechanism railroads can use to temporarily reduce or completely halt service. They're typically enacted as a result of track washouts or weather-related issues. UP has upped embargoes from 27 in 2017 to 886 through Oct. 2022, a period coinciding with its well-documented attempts to cut personnel levels. A West Virginia coal producer VP testified that UP "lost" a 100-car consist of coal. The cars were filled at the mine site and moved on, but they had not yet reached their onward destination by testimony time. The STB chair asked about recourse, and the shipper stated its contractural language is such that UP is minimally liable for lost or damaged product. Theoretically, they could go elsewhere as a result of this preceived poor service, but the trackage rights in the area are such that UP is a virtual monopoly and moving coal by truck would make it much more expensive for end-users, putting coal at an economic disadvantage over other energy sources. So UP holds all the cards. Edited December 29, 2022 by JClark54 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's linked in the prior post. The merchandising plans was not part of East River's previous retail brochure (link to the last one). At least two of the images in the merchandising plan were included in earlier leasing materials. The photo in the upper left hand corner with the overhead table shot is one. However, the other images appear to be new additions to the leasing materials. The merchandising plans seems to indicate Midway is seeking, is in talks, or has signed on the following type of businesses: childcare center Japanese / sushi restaurant mini golf or indoor golf venue That's everything I can make out. Additional retail concepts possibly in the works for East River are pictured next to the corresponding buildings.

Popular Post DotCom Posted January 13 Popular Post Share Posted January 13 More details on The Studios buildings. OJB plans to move into their new building by June. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/OJB-Landscape-Architecture-Office-East-River-17713091.php Midway sells first of three East River office buildings to project's landscape architect The buildings on Clinton Drive are designed for businesses seeking to own offices rather than rent. OJB Landscape Architecture will move from downtown’s Pennzoil Place to a new headquarters in the East River mixed-use development by Midway. The relocation will enable the company to not only own its building but provide the firm’s 30 or so local employees an opportunity to commute by bicycle along the trails of Buffalo Bayou, walk to restaurants and events, or sit under one of the hundreds of mature trees saved by Midway to incorporate into the 150-acre development taking shape on the old Brown & Root industrial site east of downtown. “We’ve done all these amazing spaces around the country,” said Chip Trageser, partner at OJB. “This is an opportunity to be in one of those spaces.” OJB, which is leading the site and landscape design of East River, has agreed to purchase the first of three recently unveiled buildings called the Studios at East River. The freestanding industrial-style buildings, spanning 10,000 square feet across two stories, are under construction on Clinton Drive along the development’s northern boundary. “They feel like east Houston,” said Brad Freels, chairman of Midway. “What we’re trying to do is attract companies that would like to own their own facility instead of being a tenant.” Depending on how they are finished, the customizable buildings can cost upward of $500 per square foot, or about $5 million, Freels said. The buildings have minimal interior build out, four restrooms, a kitchen, an elevator, about five dedicated surface parking spaces plus access to an adjacent garage. Buyers can take advantage of tax incentives because the project is in an Opportunity Zone, Freels said. “We’re testing the waters with three,” Freels said. “We can do a lot, if there’s demand for it.” OJB plans to occupy about 6,500 square feet, about the same amount of space it leases in Pennzoil Place, and will offer ground-floor space for lease to retail or other tenants, Trageser said. Move-in is planned in June, as other businesses begin occupying buildings in the 26-acre first phase of East River, including two office buildings, a parking garage, a multifamily project and retail. OJB’s move to East River builds on a relationship extending back almost 25 years, Freels said. OJB, which has five offices and 105 employees across the country, has worked with Midway on projects such as CityCentre, Levy Park, Kings Harbor in Kingwood and Aggie Park at Texas A&M University. OJB is working on the Watermark District at Woodcreek, Midway's upcoming redevelopment of the 70-acre former ConocoPhillips campus in the Energy Corridor. East River is designed to be walkable, with narrow two-way streets that can be easily crossed, bike lanes on some streets, central green spaces and views from the buildings to the bayou and downtown, Trageser said. The entire project represents an area equivalent to 68 downtown blocks. “They really understand how people interact with the environment,” Freels said. “We have buildings that may have office above retail or hotel above something. It's just that first 14 feet of vertical space that people recognize and engage and related to. They’re very good about getting that part right.” Katherine Feser Jan. 13, 2023 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may just be full of optimism, but if there were going to be a grocery store it would need to be accessible to major streets for ease of access. I'm guessing they are either saving that location for when HEB or another major grocery chain steps up or with the highest level of hope, they are keeping it under wraps and they will deliver the grocery store during the first phase. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
