HoustonMidtown Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Does anyone know what is going to be built on the southwest corner of Taft and West Gray? It used to be a vacant old restaurant that was torn down a few months ago..... How about across the street - it looks like someone made the abandon building a drive-in !!! (and someone painted "Got Beer" on the damage!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jscarbor Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I saw that yesterday. Now maybe they can tear that building down. And while they are at it tear down that building 1 block south of w gray on taft. That would be dandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestGrayGuy Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 The rumor has it that a condo tower (6 story) will go in at the Southeast corner of West Gray and Taft on the site of the old sheet metal shop.As a very close neighbor, I can not wait.There is pretty much hearsay as I do not have a link.Also, I would like to know what is planned for the old Seafood Take Out Restaurant that was leveled. Southwest Corner of West Gray aand Taft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 The rumor has it that a condo tower (6 story) will go in at the Southeast corner of West Gray and Taft on the site of the old sheet metal shop.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>That would be good news.Is that clinic still open on the SE corner? Is the sheet metal shop you're referring to on that same block? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestGrayGuy Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 You are right...The sheet metal shop is one block down on Mason and West Gray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjb434 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 A six or seven store tower would be great. It would be another step in moving towards more dense residential environment. Also, a new building on that corner will do a lot to help revitalize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called on that property a few mnths ago and the price was crazy from what i remember. I think they wanted $4000 per month for it with no allowances.

geofella Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I am curious, does anyone know what the business located on Gray between the cleaners and Byzantio is? I often notice many cars and trucks parked outside the tan colored house, but there is no sign and all of the windows are covered. I am assuming that it is probably a bar, but I have been hesitant to try to go in being that I don't know the nature of the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumapayam Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Crack House!!!!!!I looks vacant to me. I drive by there on the way to Meteor sometimes. Unless I am think of the wrong building.I like the cleaners though, nice looking building for a small lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geofella Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 No, it is definitely not vacant. I have seen people coming and going through the front door. It is the beige colored house next to Byzantio, they actually share the same parking lot. There are always cars there, everything from Mercedes to work trucks. It could be a crack house, but they definitely picked a very visible location if it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groovehouse Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 greek poker game. you only get in if they know you.This is what I thought it was... or a house of ill repute.There's also another house on Sage in between Woodway and San Felipe, that I think does the same thing. It's a nice brick house, but it has green shutters and they are always closed and there are always a bunch of cars in the yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geofella Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 greek poker game. you only get in if they know you. dreamThanks for the answer. That is one of the possibilities I had thought of.I have another one for you guys. Does anyone know what is in the large brick house that is across the street from Buffalo Wild Wings on Gray? It takes up the whole block and is surrounded by an iron fence complete with guard dogs in the yard. One of the guard dogs once reached through the fence and bit my dog on the nose as we were walking past. My guess is either a law firm or a private residence. It has a fairly large parking lot for a residence though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REALaw Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Anyone know what the dirt moving is for on the large lot between the new school and W Gray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skwatra Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 no, but i'm walking distance from there. i'll keep an eye on it. i heard rumors that the school there was going to be shut down by the district. i'm really hoping nothing happens to the baseball field next to it, my view would get ruined if they build there...

j_cuevas713 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Damn West Gray is really shaping up pretty nice overall. Aside from that small shopping center next to Barnaby's. But I'll let it slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
