TheNiche Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 The one along Holly Hall crosses freight tracks owned by UP or Houston Belt & Terminal, but the frequency of trains is very low and almost never during the daytime. At night, small trains drop off and pick up cars at the Grocers Supply Co. distribution center on Holcombe, which is where the line currently ends, but that is the only user of the tracks of which I'm aware. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even have a terminal off Corder street. Tried to look for the demolished bldgs that were on the above demo report. Looks like they are behind schedule. 3006 Holcombe Blvd Looks like something was cleared here recently. Doesn't fit the two addresses above?

bobruss Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) Thanks CrockpotandGravel, for getting us caught up on this amazing tract of land. I'm hoping that a major developer comes in like Midway and creates a Citycentre type mixed use development on the property. It has everything you could want in a location. Right on the freeway. Five minutes from the Med Center, Hermann park, zoo, museums, and golf course. Downtown can be reached directly down Almeda. It's roughly ten minutes to U. of H., Rice, and TSU.

hindesky Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Went by today but didn't take a pic, but to me it looks like they are removing metal shelves. Saw an inside forklift handing to them to an outside forklift. I'm guessing they're removing as much metal from the inside as they can before the structure comes down.

Highrise Tower Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Main building at 3131 Holcombe was issued a demolition permit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 The demolition scope was much larger than I thought. The 3131 Holcombe demo permit includes the main office, and all the terminals from Dixie road to the 288 feeder. Was the land purchased? The HFF listing is still active, indicating "On The Market". On the other hand, Loopnet's listing has been taken down. Loopnet took it down due to a company conflict or it is no longer for sale? HCAD mentions the current owner is the real estate division of Grocers Supply named 2ML Real Estate Interests, Inc.
