The Pragmatist Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 The block bounded by Heiner, Saulnier, Robin, and Crosby just across 45 from downtown was being fenced off this morning. Edit: Urbannizer mentioned something happening in this general area earlier in this topic, so I figured I'd stick this here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texasota Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 So.... I hate to point this out, but that block is where MATCH is going up. *Maybe* they're off a block and the actual site is the old permitting center. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminare Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 If you are talking about the site that is shown on the pdf then you are wrong. MATCH is much further in Midtown. This is near the old Sears building and across the street from the Wheeler Station. A part of Midtown that desperately needs attention. It's literally the homeless camp-out for the whole area and just looks dreadful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naviguessor Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Luminare - It's not the site that the brochure is advertising. On page three of the PDF there is a pointer that that states "Residential High-rise 2016". But, on page two is shows "Future MATCH Arts Development"...which is correct.

Alec Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I appreciate the illustration, but it shouldn't be considered further evidence of where the hi-rise is going. Common Ground is apparently a very new brokerage firm (they only had half a website when they slapped up their signs on the wheeler lot a couple months back) so it's not like they are the driving force behind this major project. Furthermore, they have a strong interest in overstating the proximity and inevitability of major projects to the land they are marketing. They have probably read this thread and just prettified the same info we all already had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryDierker Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 The site in the PDF is Main @ Richmond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 The site in the PDF is Main @ Richmond.Yes and no. The site in the PDF is the Common Ground site and it not a highrise. The property is simply for sale at this point and this was the whole point of the PDF... to market their site on everything that is and is upcoming to Midtown. The highrise that Urbannizer is talking about is located at the wrong place in the PDF since we know MATCH has the entire block and no additional highrise will exist on the same lot. The block north of MATCH should be the true location of this highrise and whoever created the PDF, probably just put it at the wrong location.

houstontexasjack Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 At this point, we could use Midtown, Montrose, Downtown, Upper Kirby, Uptown, Memorial City, and Energy Corridor maps. There is too much going on for me to keep up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 It's a shame Midtown doesn't publish a monthly development map just like Downtown does.Agreed. For what it's worth, you can see most major developments on devmap.io. It's crowd informed so subject to speculation, but at least it updates faster than the downtown development map. I'll try to add this project tonight if no one beats me to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just split their development map into one more district, which they have nicknamed "Energy Corridor 2" (that just means it takes in the Exxon Mobil project and part of the north Grand Parkway).

tigereye Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I've seriously heard the Rayford/Sawdust area reffered to as SOWO.At least EaDo is in an urban area, where most neighborhood acronyms come from. SOWO is suburbia, thus making way more of a reach than EaDo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxtethogrady Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I don't know why it needs another name besides "Spring". As for EaDo, I always thought of it as Eastbound and Down(town). And maybe the Church block can be Downtown Abbey. Give me Tampico Heights any day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
