What are they doing on the corner of the stadium at Crawford St and Congress St? Construction has been ongoing for the last month or so. 

Is this the Mcdonalds with the no dine-in option? 

So, they are only building half of that building?

This building does a great job combining the blue glass and brick of the surrounding buildings. 

I was in this hotel around 2015/2016 and they did their best to update the hotel, however the ceiling heights seemed extremely low. I'm really surprised they are remodeling this building instead of tearing it down and starting over. It's on a large piece of property and it's an oddly shaped building.  I would think it would make more sense to start over from scratch and build a larger building with higher floor to ceiling heights.

For a creative epicenter doesn't this look all too samey-same?

It's a medical research campus . . . Not a creative art district. 

I quite like the design of this building. I think it would make a great 3 unit multifamily with parking tucked underneath.

Centennial Plaza may not come to fruition.

Nowhere in the article does it say that the Centennial Plaza will not come to fruition. . . The article is about them not replacing the College of Education with a new building once the Farish Hall is demolished to make way for the Centennial Plaza. 

Brick . . .  nice!

It sounds like it will be this property:

The Houston Business Journal article states that the TMC Bioport will be south of the 610 Loop.

What is the “Laura”?

The apartments being built at East River right off of Jensen.

I apologize if anyone has mentioned this and I just missed it, but are they going with this 3-4 story design and site layout (i.e., no parking garage) so it doesn’t block that much of the view from the various buildings in Phase 1 at East River?

This is a different developer from the developer of East River. I'm sure they could care less about East River's views. Its cost related. 

Such a large assembly of land so close to the inner city. Sucks that one developer could not come up with a masterplan and develop it instead of selling it off piece by piece. Where is Midway when you need them ..

 Is this is going to be garden style apartments with surface parking lots?

I forgot about this place. Have they signed any retail or office tenants? Still just the food hall, concert venue, and rooftop?

Yeah they're maximizing their space for people, that's my point. That pocket park at the moment is a regular street. HV could benefit from losing some of their surface parking and converting it in to something else similar to that. 

Oh ok. No high-rises, just a better pedestrian realm.

I mean the Lululemon flagship store is def an indicator of things to come. I've said this in previous comments but don't be surprised to see a redevelopment of the entire site very soon, similar to what River Oaks District is doing. 

Similar to what River Oaks District is doing? All River Oaks District is doing is adding a pocket park, updating the sidewalks, and landscaping.

I tend to agree.  I think an RH similar to the one they built in Dallas would do really well in Highland Village.  Along with the Lululemon destination store, it can really elevate Highland Village... especially with Kimco's vision to build multiple high rises there (assuming that is still the plan post-Weingarten acquisition).

Autry Park needs to land another Equinox or even better Equinox hotel flag since it appears the River Oaks District plans for one are dead.  Aside from a few on West Gray, there is not a high-end fitness club to service the growing population in this general area.  The access to the park and lifestyle this development is hoping to imbue, makes Autry Park an EXCELLENT location for another Equinox-branded project, in my opinion.  

Highland Village and River Oaks Shopping Center are two different developments. Kimco owns River Oaks Shopping Center and that is where the multiple high rises were planned.

With this news, it has to be dead right? This is where the station was going in. Damn!

Is it?

This area desperately needs tenants in general. I'm kind of taken back by how many places have come and gone from here.

Haw many vacancies are there in this development? 

Is this another 10 story building to break ground? or the one already going up?

In regards to the Allen Parkway Village, they should preserve the original buildings around Bluebonnet Place Circle, Valentine Way, & Blue Place Circle. The land containing the remaining buildings which have no historical value should be sold off for redevelopment. HHA should then work out a deal with the new buyer to incorporate low income/mixed income housing in the redevelopment.

This area has a ways to go but with Gatlin’s new restaurant opening up next door, the other apartment building going up next to CVS and Sears finally being sold, that section of crosstimbers between Yale and shepherd is going to be totally different. 
 

The Pineforest business park has a lot of potential for redevelopment. 

Who purchased the Sears property?
