Midtown superblock park - renderings are out July start date? Let me give you the low down - a lot of people are hating on it being scaled down DG - IMO it's better than giant empty field - think there's Camden apts in the mix too.

This is too crazy - 1929 Sears Robuck Co I imagine they are referring to the now vacant lot former wharehouse on Dallas & Montrose?

Well I am blown away. My bad

Ha to whoever said "the north canal will be coming soon" I'm young and optimistic but I don't expect that will happen until 2030

+1 courthouse and new hpd has to go north or east of DT - this would not be cool / not cool at all

Can someone who knows this project well summarize the timeline for rennovation. New developement? And most importantly the gigantic crater in the earth - when will that be filled in? I always liked the door down there - reminded me of a zombie movie - I envisioned being stuck down there being chased by walkers and of course the door would be welded shut.

Memories of Dallas & Montrose - then I remembered this one is steel.

Frost Town - has a nice ring to it. Thanks Houston 19514

The whole area is a forgotten town - can someone remind me what it was called

When they built I-10 and 59 it wiped what was left of the town off the map.

Who owns this building? Can someone tell me

And somewhere near 1919 Smith the proverbial tortoise also known as "Uncle Sam" with great pain and animation takes one more small step towards the finish line.

Triton great catch! Would an experienced mole person please advise on if this is possible??.

What happened to Wharhols - real story? Open for what 3 months - so nice on the inside I know there is more to that story. Interesting about 2401 Main - I know Patio Bar was great and pretty busy when they first opened but lately has been a ghost town. Wish them the best!

Applause from this guy!

Pearl is going so hard in the loop right now. Someone with better math skills than me can/could add them up.

4 in Midtown alone!

Agreed - no bueno - knock down plus a resi/commercial tower here might work too though.

Anyone know the scoop on who owns it? Current status?

Le Mistral is actually very good I'm glad you saw the humor in my post - I'm sure it will rile someone up but that's half the fun of it.

These two trailblazing structures capture "The Spirit of The EC" in their bold and unique architechure and style.

Imagine, flying into IAH at 4:40 on a Wednesday afternoon. You get your bag and hop in a yellow cab who conveniently finds a way to hop on 610 West, your then lucky enough to sit on I-10 in the far right lane viewing all 16 lanes wide in all their glory.

You realize you have been having a staring contest with a small boy sitting facing you in a volvo for the last 15 minutes, you think to yourself I haven't seen that in a while.

Your on East Coast Time still and find yourself hungry. Dinner choices? How to even start, you have narrowed your options to Chilli's, Murphy's Deli or Cheddar's when the cab driver tells you OK you have arrived... btw you owe $95 dollars. Company Credit Card? You don't have cash he scolds you? hiscard machine is broken but after some pleading he tells you it will be $100 for charges and calls it in.

You walk through the automatic doors at The Courtyard pictured in that bizjournals article and as you lay your head down to sleep you think THIS IS A CITY and this is an area that I want to come back to with my wife.

Full disclosure I am in the EC multiple times per week and it's just so hard to get excited about anything there especially these two boring boxes - sisters to t the one I am writing this ridiculous post in (located 10 miles outside of Shreveport, Lousiana).

hahahaha - as someone who takes the hardy 12 X week - i actually just lol'd

besides the pictures attatched or googled - does anyone know what the interior is like? Is it solid sealed? Or where urban pioneers and explorers able to get in and squat like days inn, savoy ect

I will try to ride my bike to and take some pics this weekened - seriously never knew about this building until someone bumped a 6AC thread elsewhere.

bumping - could they convert to condos?

Hey I know the POTUS is in Houston but does anyone know why there are 20 plus COH dump trucks lined up right now on Louisiana?

Great news for real - now we need to start with that bigger D/E Terminal.

Looks like my intel was wrong - new owner of OTC midtown unsure if this was in the sale of OTC

Can be anything you want it to be...
