Target has two level stores in places like Minneapolis, Chicago and Denver. 

Whole Foods has several cart escalator stores but it's usually to get to a parking garage.

H-E-B just opened a two level store in San Antonio. (Uses inclined magnetized conveyor)

There's a 3 story Wal-Mart and Sam's Club, I'd say where it is but I've caused enough trouble for one thread. 

This is the Whole Foods mixed use development in Dallas that will be finishing up this summer.

This youtube page is a gold mine of aerial video's for you guy's, down there. I have no clue if his stuff is posted elsewhere on this board.

Developer Dirk Laukien, founder of Black Forest Ventures in the Woodlands, took me for a helicopter tour of the Woodlands and surrounding areas, and I was able to see what all of the fuss is about...

 

Irving, Texas-based Exxon currently is building its 385-acre campus south of the Woodlands in Springwoods Village. The campus will consist of about 20 office and specialty buildings, and at least 10,000 employees are expected to be working at the site by 2015.

I can't easily tell what, if any progress has been made in these pictures and the ones posted by Urbannizer at the begining of February.

With two towers, they do need to move nearly 700 units.

The store was built on the southwest side of Houston for about $25 million and has interior capacity for more than 300 vehicles. The facility also has 30 service bays, nine inspection bays, two alignment bays and an automated car wash.

In the GreenStreet Redevelopment thread Tumbleweed_Tx posted a photo of a Preview Center.

They also had one (pictured here) in Austin that opened about 3 to 4 months prior to move-in.

Just down the street at 78 Rainey Street, the Preview Leasing Center for SkyHouse® has now opened, as apartment leasing gets underway in anticipation of late November move-ins.

Simpson Southern Region Senior Vice President, Ginney Harvey, expressed her enthusiasm for welcoming prospective residents, saying, “Our Preview Center will allow future residents to explore our floor plans and experience for themselves the authenticity and vibrant community that will be an integral part of life at SkyHouse®.”

Any thoughts, is this aggressive or know of any other for lease properties with off-site preview centers?

NBC's Community had a bit of a Houston easter egg during the season 5 premiere "Repilot" episode.

Spirit Airlines is growing again at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport.

The low-fare airline, known for its $9 promotional fares and $45 fees for carry-on bags, will announce today that it plans to add five destinations from DFW, including Baltimore and Houston.

The move will make DFW Spirit's second-largest hub, behind Fort Lauderdale, Fla. In a little over a year since it started flying out of DFW.

The Baltimore and Houston flights will begin in September.

Houston: The Rushmore School

by Kyle Ryan June 11, 2012

When we filmed the first season of Pop Pilgrims last year, we selected cities and picked three locations from each. I couldn’t make much of a case for Houston, and anyway, we had a great Wes Anderson location in New York with the Royal Tenenbaums house. This year, we let the locations, not the city, guide us, and considering what big fans we are of Wes Anderson here at The A.V. Club, it was easy to pick Houston and St. John’s. (I still haven’t received a citation from the city for bringing in literally dozens of production dollars.)

That wasn’t the only serendipitous part of Rushmore’s production. The crew distributed flyers at homes in the West University neighborhood, looking for a location for Rosemary Cross’ house.
