    Thank you for the explanation. Only in Houston...?

    This is a project that doesn't do much for me. Can someone remind me about the parking garage? Is it staying? Thank you in advance and yes I don't want to click through 15 pages.

    its a mystery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Apartments here would be like the wild wild west - instead of injuns and wild buffalo one would fight the occasional crackhead and homeless. I head to this very spot and give out sandwiches from Panera on a weekly basis. Before labeling me a hater - I do my part and try to spend some time and give some food. This in my mind is a couple blocks and really all along Pierce elevated that Houston needs to focus on their homeless people. Also, the park on the northside shouldn't really be called a park. Drug use and selling in front of parked cop cars, really a sad sight as I ride my bike up there weekly. Does anyone know if there's a plan for that northern park by the trustled bridge? Sorry blanking on name. Who will be the first with the scoop on these two lots? Urbanizer, Howard Hughes, Bigfootsucks? I'm ready HIT ME!

    Maybe stupid question - does anyone have renderings and timeframe for what's currently under construction. I know there was a new tower that was maybe phase 2?

    UU My guess would be when the Pierce elevated rammed through the hood" (NPI), things changed dramatically. I spend a good amount of time in Shreveport and how the freeways changed entire neighborhoods is crazy. 4-5 block section was probably erased out - sometimes streets/numbers on both sides change as well. sorry - reread your post - thought you meant the 3 blocks that the APTS are going on: Never Mind.

    good call on the orig building being 8 stories. Anyone have pic? Love some history like that - my vision for the building... I think bottom two levels ground floor retail with condos above and upon your move in you are given a small ball point hammer to "create your own view". The antenna on top could be a converted to a launching catapult for anyone who complains about power lines or demands ground floor retail on every project in Htown. Exciting times.. For rEal.

    As I've said and freedman's town continues to get squeezed like a pimple / all sides all angles - land simply too valuable - I drove by airline and calvacade tonight you should see the 700k houses going up - anywhere this close to CBD with those views ....
  12. Chi-Char-Hou-Dal

  13. Chi-Char-Hou-Dal
    I know the link with the story exists but could anyone post the pic of buildings there before?

  15. Chi-Char-Hou-Dal

    Driving on 45 south tonight looked like 5-10 floors with flood lights on - is there some sort of massive demo or redo on the north tower? Thanks-
  17. Chi-Char-Hou-Dal
    Why would they do anything that makes sense ??similar to Skansa the parking garage is first here ... According to workers I asked in Spanish today.

    Matheson @ 2200 Houston Ave, Houston, TX 77007 Montalbano @ 1309 Houston Ave, Houston, TX 77007 I heard from a pretty credible source the amount of money being offered to these two companies simply can't be ignored anymore. I know specifically with Matheson they are looking at options outside the beltway. At some point, density becomes too great and your the last business on the block. Thoughts on your ideal replacement or do you like the mix of industry and resi / certainly works towards the charm in some larger cities ect.

    INTERESTING THEY AREN'T DEVELOPING THE ENTIRE BLOCK - PAUL ART FRAMING IS GOING TO BE SURROUNDED - KIND OF LIKE RON'S AUTO ON BAGBY http://goo.gl/maps/SvdOU

    The GFR people never cease to amaze me! Until the Post retail spots are filled up (If I may borrow a famous Chicago Sports Radio Segments Catchphrase) Who you crapping? Seriously - there are multiple empty retail spots including some in the 24 hour complex 2 blocks away! Why don't you take your savings and start a complaint department there? I started off trying to be funny but now I am mad! You guys are ridiculous.

    I started a thread about this building in downtown From my boy Like This Luminare Saturday, May 17, 2014 unfortunately the architecture of it really isn't all that unique. It's really just a simple warehouse with loading docks for trucks and nothing more. If you really wanted to save this then you would really have to do a lot to it! I'm talking like knocking down some walls to place some much needed windows and completely overhauling the exterior. I'm surpised with the revitalization of the bayou and downtown that this area hasn't been touched at all. It all depends on what the city wants as the feel for this area. If they want an older feel then they will find some way to keep it. If they want a more contemporary setting then this one is as good as gone as it really doesn't and a lot to the community. I'm all for preserving our past, but it has to be stuff that adds to the narrative. but idk maybe someone will do something good with these old warehouses.

    Is the activity on this site for next door or new? Appears to me to be setting up to demo
  24. Chi-Char-Hou-Dal

    Can someone please re confirm the two addresses in question here??? What house is being torn down? Is this the giant empty lot / unofficial dog park on the corner?
