Not all of the restaurants on your list or below are due to COVID (Indika for instance was closing long before they announced COVID - as is Dolce Vita next door) but here are some more I know of all close to each other: Treebeards Market Square Frank's Backyard Boomtown on Main Hard Rock Cafe

I’m fine with the new crown, I just feel like the glass podium looks more alive from the street level than the stone.

Yeah it’s still a really good looking building but they missed out on it being a jewel.

Did you has the stay back at home (WTF?) when your friends were out and that’s why you were home posting dumb jabs on HAIF at 2 am while crying in your room or what? Go GF.

Niels Esperson Building, Partial Conversion To Multifamily

That’s awesome. Anybody know a way to get up there to check it out? -

You pay for parking for Phoenicia? I assume you mean meters because they have free parking in the garage.

The middle-man was apparently intense there but, to be honest, I think a lot of the closings there came as a result of the lack of quality overall of the food. Mala was still pretty legit but a lot of people can't handle sichuan spice and so they need a lot of traffic in the place to get enough people that can. There were a lot of subpar food options there. I live and work downtown and barely went. My coworkers who went said the food was bad. I think that the management group that charged all of that money failed good places like Mala by surrounding them with options that wouldn't increase traffic.

Same. It’s directly in my work from home view.

This was also a tax break to incentivize development that goes on to significantly increase the tax coffers in the future. An affordable housing development would have a lower fair value and thus bring in less tax revenue making the development make less economic sense. I am not saying that it would make no sense at all, just not as much sense towards specifically increasing your tax base.

It may have more potential than any other lot downtown due to the location. I always hope for a crown jewel at the street level here.

I-45 Rebuild (North Houston Highway Improvement Project)
kbates2 replied to ToryGattis's topic in Traffic and Transportation
So I haven't spent much time in this thread, and now at 35 pages catching up seems daunting, so I will just ask the question for anybody who may already know more. Are they widening 45 around the north main/houston ave area? If so are they going to expand both ways? Just west? Just east? Imminent domain going to be used anywhere?- 3,361 replies

I was really referring to the vantage point of Triton's photo, which was taken from the parking garage on Milam and Franklin - the one with two massive giant blank cement walls.

Apparently this project is back on. "Sovereign Properties will resume construction on a mid-rise apartment project near Minute Maid Park in downtown Houston after securing new financing. Acres Capital Corp., a commercial real estate lender based in New York, provided a $49 million construction loan to fund completion of the project, now called Sovereign at the Ballpark, a 229-unit complex at the northeast corner of Crawford and Commerce." https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/Stalled-downtown-apartment-project-to-resume-15018116.php

Seems like the city still thinks cutting down mature trees and planting saplings is net neutral. At least it doesn't get hot here in the summer.

Drift Bar opened on Friday, 01/10/20. Fantastic place to go watch a game as they have tons and tons of giant TVs.
