IamHouston Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Demo for Casa Grande site: http://swamplot.com/daily-demolition-report-landing-ellington-field/2015-06-01/ I saw that yesterday and remembered you mentioned the Holiday Inn Express coming in there. I haven't found anything regarding a new hotel coming in or plat information for that area with the city. Should be good news for the area though. Did you notice that 2223 N. Main is coming along nicely and also that the building directly adjacent to it on the left is also being gutted. Do you have any idea what the building on the left is going to be? I saw the city posted the yellow permitting papers with project numbers on the window recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFootsSocks Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I'm curious how Fitz is going to recreate the feeling of impending doom that I've come to know all too well on the upstairs stage floor... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texasota Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 This does seem like a great project, but I will really hate to see the old Fitz's Houston'ed for townhomes or a strip mall or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFootsSocks Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Well reading the article shows that the group that runs FunFunFun Fest is taking over operations and will be remodeling a few things around the venue and knocking down some homes for parking.

Triton Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 remodeling a few things around the venue and knocking down some homes for parking.They have already torn down the homes for parking and they are remodeling things such as the tower and the old warehouse garage next door.

BigFootsSocks Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) I was there just a week ago and didn't see anything, is that recent?Edit; just to be ear, I gathered that the article was referring to the OG Fitz spot, not the new Pegistar location.

Triton Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Looks like this will be opening much sooner, perhaps it is solely the indoor part. Someone just shared with me from an app called Bandsintown that Willie Nelson will be playng here Jan 15th, 2016. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 This does seem like a great project, but I will really hate to see the old Fitz's Houston'ed for townhomes or a strip mall or something. Sorry to burst your bubble of negativity, but it has been reported in the Houston Business Journal and Houston Chronicle that "Popular Height's music venue Fitzgerald's will undergo renovations that will improve some of the technical and logistical features of the nearly 100-year-old building. The venue, located at 2706 White Oak Drive, will be completely gutted and renovated once the current tenant leaves. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alec Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 ^Interesting development. The light rail line just isn't quite close enough to the venue to accomodate the light rail crowd. I bet they'll try to get the path to loop past the venue and go to the rail station to give rail riders an easy path - more about that accessibility than the bayou network.

Texasota Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Now just put in a bike share station at the light rail station, one at the new fitz's, 500 more bike share stations throughout central Houston, and bam! genuine alternative to driving 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 This thing is going up fast. And it turns out this thing is already expanding before it's even finished. They have purchased the "candy factory" to the top right of this picture: Plan is to turn it into a brewery/bar.

Triton Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 Oh also, they are building a Holiday Inn Express somewhat next to this on N Main. (At the former Casa Grande location). I guess for bands more on a budget to use? Not a bad idea... especially for out of towners. Hotel confirmed. Signs all around the site for a plat variance. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamHouston Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 http://archpaper.com/news/articles.asp?id=8337#.Vk35gXarTbg Shuttle service? Interesting. Makes absolute sense though. Wouldn't be surprised to see it taken a step further. Offer parking at UHD lots beneath the elevated Burnett station, and hop on the train one stop to get up to the venue. Because lets be real, very few will actually walk to this place. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
