    New development at "Five Corners". Across the street from Five Points being marketed by New Quest. http://houston.culturemap.com/news/real-estate/10-20-17-crossroads-at-cavalcade-heights-retail-center-stream-realty-partners/

    I'm not sure how HSPVA works today, but when I was in school, HSPVA pulled students from all over the district. You had to audition in your desired discipline in order to be accepted to the school. A student is not "zoned" to HSPVA according to their residence. I would think, that once complete, maybe, maybe 2-3% of the students that attend the school will actually live downtown.

    I still find it baffling that HISD spent tax payer money on an entire downtown block for HSPVA. They could have purchased a block on the near East side for a fraction of the cost and still had great accessibility via the train to downtown.

    I'm not crazy about the design, but anything is better than the old car wash! Waiting for this intersection to take off - waiting to see what will go in on the vacant lot across the street and what will happen to the old shopping center on the other side of Studewood. Wonder how long DaVita Dialysis and Sola Salon will be there?

    It's now showing pending..... Maybe Town in City Brewery purchased it? It would give them room to expand in the future......

    I was thinking this one...on corner of Telephone and Winkler...don't know exact address

    Yes, I'm not a fan of the restaurant either. The owner, Tila, is not very customer oriented. Really don't know how she stays in business.

    Driving past Tila's Restaurant on the curve at 1111 S. Shepherd, there is a large "For Lease" sign on the corner. Are they closing? Any info?

    According to loopnet - the old gas station site is no longer available. Any info?

    Well, there was an Exxon station on that property for many years. I'm sure remediation will add a pretty penny to the development cost.

    Everyone take a deep breath! The first choice was to renovate the Clayton building. The architects came back with a plan to include 4 classrooms and some office space. That was the best they could do with the interior of the existing building. It simply did not meet the current and future needs of the school. Check out the plan for the new building: https://uploads.strikinglycdn.com/files/e3bb2996-8287-4384-9142-b16390aec3a8/Campus Map.pdf

    They are shopping the property across the street from this too....although I think the price seems a little steep.... http://www.loopnet.com/Listing/20063981/1137-W-Cavalcade-St-Houston-TX/

    Christine - I know Miss Hallie passed away in the mid-90s. I think that Earl has also passed away. I can't remember when I heard that, but I'm fairly certain that he passed.

    The sign is up in the window. It's going to be a Sola Salon Studio. www.solasalonstudios.com/store/heights

    Any suggestions for repair shops for lighting? I have two 60's era pendant lights that I need to have rewired.

    I'm an alumna of Incarnate Word and attended the "Farewell" party for the building on Saturday. When I was in school there in the late 80s, the building was home to approximately 5 sisters. The last 2 sisters vacated the building sometime last year. Prior to my time at the academy, the building was used for classrooms. However the inside had been reconfigured so many times in the past century, that there was nothing left from the original architecture. Last fall, we were supposed to have a special dinner in the building for alumnae, but it was cancelled due to the lack of structural integrity of the building. They said the floor was too uneven, and they were afraid someone would fall. According to Sr. Lauren Beck, the mosaic tiles on the building will be saved and incorporated into a sign on the existing building. I, for one, am all for the construction of a new building there. We have to remember that the school is not there to serve the past, but to educate and serve current and future students. That is their mission.

    What about the Heights Fire House on Yale. It's on the small side, but I think is very reasonable to rent.

    Sorry, I've been out of the loop...what is 6 HC?
  24. native_Houstonian
    Thank you for the clarification. That makes more sense.

    This property sold for $80 sq ft? I thought land went for around $50 sq ft in The Heights?
