Jonah Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Has anybody heard or seen anything about this development. I went to the website www.kings-harbor.com and it looks to be something pretty decent looking. Along the lines of the Sugar Land and Woodlands town square but with Lake Houston as a back drop. That should make it stand out a bit from the others. They should put some harbor so boats could dock at the entrance. That would make it really appealing. I've always wondered why Clear Lake hasn't done anything like this yet. I would figure being so close to the water would make it a worthwhile proposition. Anyway the developer of this Kingwood project is the same group that recently purchased Town & Country mall and plans to turn that into a mix use project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasboy Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 http://www.kings-harbor.com/ I can't even put into words what this would do for the Bayou revitalization near downtown, but I guess the suburbs these days have to have their little downtowns too.

Yeah I know....was hoping no one would point this out Like it was mentioned above......It is out there. Would like to see it more in one of the 5 business districts (downtown, Uptown, ......)

RedScare Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 On a generally uncongested freeway, in a well forested area. I have often wondered why this section of town hasn't filled in quicker.I suppose Northeast doesn't sound as sexy as Westside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Hizzy! Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Good for Kingwood and good for the COH. Premier properties such as this can only help the overall tax rolls. Actually, aside from all that, it looks like an intriguing development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkosmin Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Has anyone heard about the Skylake Village that will go up in Kingwood? The Town Center is said to be bigger than The Woodlands', and the entire development (condos, retail, restaurants), will be about 2 million square feet! Link: Kingwood.com Discussion with links to more infoI would love to have a bigger commercial center in the Kingwood area - I think it's been underserved for too long.The developer will be Zane Segal. Does anyone know anything about this guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoog Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 This sure sounds a lot like the other proposal for a "mixed use" village on Lake Houston Parkway north of Atascocita.Can't remember the name of the other one.

houstonfella Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I heard that Tilman Fertitta is involved with the financing somehow but did not want his name out there.

Sooner&RiceGrad Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Woah, hot dogs. Skylake Resort will have 200 guest rooms and suites, a spa and fitness facility, tropical pool, an extensive conference center, and ballroom. Skylake Village will be one of the largest suburban town centers in the Houston region at nearly two million square feet. Three and four-story urban-scale buildings with retail and restaurants on the ground floor and condominiums and offices above I didn't know that Kingswood had 65,000 people...?!! Skylake Island, in the midst of over 40 acres (17 hectares) of lakes, will be the center of commercial life, with sidewalk caf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch4Snakes Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Kingwood has The Woodlands beat in one respect.A Houston address.From what I heard years ago, prior to annexation, from people that lived in Kingwood....many residents would apparently like to NOT have a Houston address.

MidtownCoog Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 many residents would apparently like to NOT have a Houston address.Well they should have tried to incorporte, or gave themselves to Humble. Just like Clear Lake City in the 80s, Kingwood was getting too big for its un-incorporated britches.On a related note, I read the lofts at Kingsharbor range from $350-950K.That' whacked.

Subdude Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Just like Clear Lake City in the 80s, Kingwood was getting too big for its un-incorporated britches.Well I wouldn't view annexation as a means to bring suburbs down to size. A lot of concern was over the comparabilty of services Houston would be able to provide relative to what they already had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNiche Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 UPDATE Last updated: July 27, 2006 07:58am $14M Advances Kings Harbor's First Phase KINGWOOD, TX-Midway Cos. has secured a $14.3-million construction loan to keep development moving on the first phase of the $50-million Kings Harbor Place in the Kingwood-Atascocita submarket.

It was posted in 2005 by Jonah and nobody post back so I am puting it up again since I live in the Humble/Kingwood/Atascocita area so I am excited about this project. Looks like its moving along nicely and the web site seems like its almost done and I think people will like it so here it is.

But maybe what im looking at is strictly office space...but i thought perhaps retail would be on the bottom...if that is the case....it looks like a business park. But the new apartments they are building look nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
