mls1202 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) I find myself more excited about the potential “Boulevard” being created along Kirby than I am about Post Oak. While I love where PO is going with some of their developments, there are some key shopping centers like the Centre at post Oak (one with. Nordstrom’s Rack) and Post Oak Plaza (one with California Pizza kitchen) that I think are so entrenched that they will not be going anywhere for years. Kirby, on the other hand, looks more promising as even their shopping centers around the Richmond intersection are old and are more likely to be redeveloped, making the street more uninform in its density. Of course, south of 59 is a whole other story... Edited May 11, 2019 by mls1202 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Luminare Posted June 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2019 Thought I do the same thing for Upper Kirby like I did in this thread: Difference here is that the change is more pronounced over a 15 year period than in a 10 year period. Also a fairly dramatic change, and more to come as well. Both areas in question are become some of the densest neighborhoods in the city. 2004: 2019: 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I can remember when Johnny Carraba and Damien Mandola first bought the little xxx rated magazine stand on the corner of Branard and Kirby back in 1985. Not much was going on in the neighborhood at the time. I worked at Carrabba's, while in graduate school, and that was definitely the place to see everybody. The celebrity's and world class athletes that came to eat there was astounding. I met more hall of fame athletes in every sport and quite a few movie stars and politicians. Waited on Joe Jamail and Hugh Liedtke the night they settled the landmark lawsuit for Pennzoil. Made Joe a multimillionaire. The House of Pies, and Jamail's, a great grocery, import store and the best place in town to see who's who in Houston at the time were right across the street. There was a Jaguar dealership at the southeast corner of Kirby and West Alabama, and a funeral home where Thor built their mixed use development. I'm sure Johnny is very pleased that they picked that location and were smart enough to buy up the land around that original restaurant. The area just keeps getting denser and trendier. I see Kirby as a Post Oak Blvd. mini me. I also think that Montrose is slowly growing into the prestigious neighborhood for high rise residences and museums I always hoped that it would. Now they just need to redo the blvd. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarathonMan Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 The elevator shaft on HRO should be topped out by now. I thought This Tower would look significantly taller than 2727 Kirby, but it doesn’t to me. 2727 must have some high ceilings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the pictures above, it looks like they’re pouring the columns for the 37th floor. The elevator shaft looks at least a couple of floors above that. Assuming I counted right, that would put the elevator shaft at or very close to the top. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmitch94 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I was stopped at the Kirby light and read the construction elevator plywood doors and the top one they had in place read 38 with two more floors above it and then the roof.

bobruss Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Nice shot. I like how you also captured the other buildings under construction to the east. The Hines La Colombe d'Or 3300 Main and I think the Drewery in the space between the Hanover Montrose and the Hines If I'm not mistaken that all went up in the last 3 years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmitch94 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Interesting that they moved the balconies from the south side of the tower to the est side. Much better views that way, I wonder if that was the reasoning. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
