intencity77 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Walmart. Correct?Wouldn't that be awfully close to the other Walmart on Wayside/45 though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mab Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 In my opinion I have a feeling that Krogers would go at the anchor spot. Walmart is on wayside and HEB is at Gulfgate. Krogers would be a good store for that neighborhood especially with the increase in housing for UH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naviguessor Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 http://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/30752-activity-at-fingers-furniture-on-gulf-freeway/?hl=fingers#entry469318That is the page that a Walmart was discussed. But, rereading it does not actually confirm a Wally World at this location. I think someone was just looking at the map from Lovett Commercial that shows a "Future Walmart" further down I-45 at Wayside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANTHONYHTOWN Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 not sure if kroger would go since there is an existing kroger on polk and cullen just like a block away unless kroger decides to make it into a signature store the kroger there is just a small store not a signature store.

samagon Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 So this is what they're replacing the apartments that burned down earlier this year (or was it late last year?) with? I'm neither impressed, nor unimpressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed_Tx Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 so, it looks like they are going to keep the Fingers Furniture building's slab, using it as a parking lot. My late friend Gonzo did a survey on it for his engineering firm... he said that slab and cockroaches are the only things that will survive a nuclear war, it's so thick.

If that rumor is true then maybe Lovett, who currently owns the old Macy’s warehouse site, sold off a large parcel to Aspen. Nothing as of yet to reflect that on Lovett’s Commercial site. The leasing page is still showing a Burlington and Palais Royal store as part of that redevelopment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andre154 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 It's between Earnestine and Lockwood. Is that the eastern side of the Macy's facility? Aspen Heights just built another apartment complex at OST and MLK south of UH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
