citykid09 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 He knew what what I meant. I just felt like I should explain it because.....well I don't know why I explained it. LOL!I thought it would be more of a walkable center. The start of Uptown becoming a walkable area. Its still a great center, but the planning could have been better to enhance the street scape. I riding Westminster the other day in the Montrose area and I thought wow! people are walking everywhere. People parallel parked in front of the stores and walked around. The area is not neatly planned, but it has the concept. Rice Village is another area that almost has it. I was hopping BLVD place would have been the more upscale version of areas like those.Can we not edit post anymore? I was trying to say "I was riding down Westheimer the other day" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 (edited) They've got a new polished website for this. What do yall think it means, going ahead full steam or just stepping up the advertising?http://www.blvdplace.com/Also, notice what the description is missing. Anyone remember if the sq. feet for the office and retail/restaurant are the same or lower as before? edit: actually, it does not list the hotel and residential on the main page but does on the Location/facts page.

citizen4rmptown Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Looks like the website has the same old renderings.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Looks like the website has the same old renderings....I saw one or two new ones. The interactive map still shows Hanover for the res. tower but the hotel just says "luxury hotel." I'm sure the design will change along with the hotel company.

I'm sure the design will change along with the hotel company.Well, they would not invest more on a website if the project was dead. So that's some positive thinking at least.Maybe some fresh news is on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you're talking about.If you go to the BLVD Place website and go to retail and click photos you will see what I am talking about on the 6th photo down. There is no sign, maybe that spot has never been taken. Edited March 28, 2010 by citykid09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) I'm no longer passing the intersection of San Felipe @ Post Oak. :crook: I got laid off from the architecture firm that was located on Bering & San Felipe. Blvd. Place is a nice project. Too bad I don't pass by it daily. Gene, Right. They should clear off all the old bldgs and site materials. Looks bad. Edit: I like what COH has done with the San Felipe project. The street lights are very cool looking and the bus stops are nice. The project on the SEC? of San Felipe @ Sage has finally finished. Brick building, I think it's a car wash? Nice bldg. for a car wash Edited April 26, 2010 by ekdrm2d1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJVilla Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) They have started putting fencing around the Northern building (closet to San Felipe and Post Oak Blvd). Not sure if it was all around the complex, just the front or what. I will see what else they do before I go out of town. Yes, the street work and landscape look great (especially the lights). Good thing since it took so looooong and still not quite done! Edited April 27, 2010 by JJVilla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJVilla Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Update, the fencing has been erected around the whole northern complex as of this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they're starting with the ones labeled with lower numbers (BLVD 1, etc) and that look the worst plus are more visible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Definitely just the norhern building (from the former Cafe Annie to Eatzi's).A backhoe was working in there this morning.

gene Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 i guess as long as they know its going to take they wanted to go ahead and plant some cheap bushes along san felipe just to make that new wider street look nice? haha that is weird but hey i guess it does look better than if they hadnt i seriously am counting down the days until they knock down that plaza....if anyone finds the date let me know!

lockmat Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 oops. There are a few buildings from this project that are listed and at least one of them had a listing of "built: 2011." I guess I posted the generic link on accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstrosLiam Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 is the Ritz Carlton going to happen? and with an awesome Hermes store I would think that the developer would attract something other than "Pickles and Ice Cream". amirite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
