asubrt Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Being that close to Buffalo Bayou Brewery would be amazing but dangerous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Money Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 So I think this will be the eastern half of the large grass field at Sawyer & Summer. The western half looks to be occupied by the office development at 1601 Sawyer, also said to be breaking ground in Q4. There's some good info in the leasing pdf, including a massing diagram showing a ~7 story building in the spot where the residential portion is proposed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBC2HTX Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 This area needs significant infrastructure improvements. I’m aware of Sawyer being redone but that’s not enough to accommodate the explosion of multi family development. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I do wish the planned BRT station were at Sawyer/Taylor or where the MKT trail crosses I-10, rather than at Studemont, but the planned location will still be pretty useful. There a couple of BOOST lines planned in the are as well. Finally connecting Summer through is big. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a plan to do so? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Something seems afoot at this site.........from the Houston Chronicle website The Drive-In at Sawyer Yards opened in May with a screening of "Grease." Movies are screened on the old Success Rice grain silos twice a night, seven days a week. Houston was the first U.S. city to get a Rooftop Cinema Club drive-in. The location was originally set to close earlier because of planned construction on the site. But a delay allowed them to stay open through November. https://preview.houstonchronicle.com/movies-tv/drive-in-at-sawyer-yards-to-close-but-a-new-15704335 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avossos Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Here is what I️ think I️ know... the large green space is divided in half (near half?) and there will be an office off sawyer and a multi family next to buff brew 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know where to find it?? Here are some photos I took of the presentation board for the railroad realignment at the City of Houston meeting in September 2018. These maps don't suggest any improvement to Winter street, but that was more than two years ago. (I could not embed the image because the links are not https) This should be available somewhere on the CoH web site, possibly more up-to-date. http://dallasfreeways.com/dfwfreeways/AARoads/20180904-0013-2000.jpg http://dallasfreeways.com/dfwfreeways/AARoads/20180904-0012-2560.jpg Edited January 1, 2021 by MaxConcrete 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 The lot has been elevated, packed and rolled. It only covers 2/3's of the empty space. I guess the remains portion is for the future office build. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Apparently silos are going to be part of the build. They may go underground though. Anyone know what these are? I counted 4 of them, some have bottoms and some don't. They are loading out dirt on dump trucks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine they are going to need quite a few more than that for a site of this size. Here's a video about installation of a CMP detention system.

Really impressed that they are putting this much effort into stormwater mitigation, but I would guess there are financial incentives motivating the decision. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFootsSocks Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I heard recently that either CoH or Harris County (or both) plan review departments now require drainage on site for any plans submitted after March or April 1st. Now obviously these plans must've been submitted before but maybe they had to work out some deal. I expect a lot of onsite drainage retention for projects in the future. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skooljunkie Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Put enough of this down and eventually we have more flood protection. I have so many questions though. I wonder how much water sits in them at any given moment. Seems like a mosquito breeding habitat. And you know they will get silted up—wonder how they can be flushed out if clogged. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
