jgriff Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I’m still not sure why we’re taking about Kroger here. If there is evidence of activity with that site please post it. I’d be very interested in seeing it. Heavy equipment is behind Sur La Table this week tearing up all the parking. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Till I can figure out how to place pics on here with my iPad (my desktop is acting) I’ll just say there were 6 pieces of equipment on site but not much has changed. Some of the equipment belonged to North Houston Powerline so they may just be running power to the site before they can really get started. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2018/07/18/weingarten-s-new-high-rise-at-river-oaks-shopping.html Houston-based Weingarten Realty Investors (NYSE: WRI) started demolition work in early July to clear the way for its 30-story, 318-unit luxury high-rise that will tower above its River Oaks Shopping Center off West Gray. The Driscoll, set to deliver by 2021, is the publicly traded company’s first foray into Houston’s residential market in 15 years. The company has owned the roughly one-acre high-end retail destination since 1971. Houston-based Hanover Co., the developer and contractor for the project, filed a $26 million building permit with the city of Houston but total construction costs weren't disclosed. The luxury high-rise will sit atop 10,000 square feet of retail, which will be a mix of “high-end restaurants and additional specialty retail that will complement the existing tenant mix at River Oaks Shopping Center,” said Gerald Crump, a senior vice president with Weingarten, in an email. In 2017, Drew Alexander, Weingarten’s president and CEO, told the Houston Business Journal this likely won’t be the company’s last high-rise development in Houston. Crump said there aren’t any definite plans to add residential towers at this time, but the company “continues to seek opportunities” that can add value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angostura Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 People would generally say Shepherd, Westheimer, the bayou and the railroad, though the "official" boundary differs. ROSC is River Oaks adjacent. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
