phillip_white Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Major excavation underway just west of the Starbucks site. I think the previously posted plat showed it being a strip of retail surrounded by parking. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 (edited) They are taking the dirt from the excavation to the larger tract of land and spreading. Edited June 2 by hindesky 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Looking at the leasing brochure from Read King Real Estate shows it will have future student housing and Shipley's isn't moving their headquarters here after all. https://read-king.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/I-45-and-Cullen-Blvd-Site-Plan_01.pdf 4 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) What a disaster other than the student housing I guess. We had a great opportunity to build dense with no parking requirements. None of these parcels have any infrastructure for pedestrians, just cars. Edited June 30 by j_cuevas713 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The developments in Houston have been very abysmal honestly. Most major sites are being developed as either HUGE gas stations or strip centers with a sea of parking facing the street. The only thing Houston has really done is remove parking mandate in midtown and create market based parking in EADO, while the majority of Houston is left exactly the same. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I don't get why the developer of this project couldn't have used better judgement in the layout and use of the land. If the goal is 2030 to remove all parking mins, then that's too long. I say no later than 2025, and I'm being kind. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also protected bike lanes on both sides of Cullen north of 45 as well! The student housing across this development on Cullen was also made very pedestrian friendly (all parking is in the back). This part of town (specifically north of i45) is already ideal for pedestrians/ cyclist; narrower streets, smaller/older setbacks, smaller developments/lots in general. The is also becoming even more walkable/ dense/ bike-able. Cullen was cut down to 2 lanes to include bike lanes (from 4), Scott is only 4 lanes with a rail running in between, Leeland was cut down to 2 lanes to include bike lanes (from 4). Let's hope rest of the development somehow makes up for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They feel safe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Mods @Triton @Urbannizer maybe the topic for the 4001 Gulf Freeway property should be merged with this one? Coog's Crossing will occupy the 4001 Gulf Fwy parcel that includes 3895 Gulf Fwy and 4001 Gulf Fwy. It's the former site of Finger Furniture. https://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/29807-finger-furniture-at-4001-gulf-fwy/ Parcel map with the 4001 Gulf Freeway parcel outlined in blue The Coog's Crossing site plan previously posted 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
