Is it confirmed sold? Are there any leads on who bought it or what it might become?

I live nearby and would love to see this become chill neighborhood-friendly restaurant or bar.

I've been walking by it everyday this week and they are definitely gutting it.  All kinds of fixtures and even lots of 2x4s are being hauled away.  We definitely need a cool, chill place on our end of midtown for a change. 

Yeah I noticed the same thing last nite me and my gf caught the train to downtown. This is great news because that building on the property was horrible and it seems like the Superblock Park is finally going to take off

I saw this last night as well! It has been a long time coming just to get it started. 

absolutely, it was apartment living at its best!!!   

Wow this was my first apartment inside loop 610 so it is a little sad to read this! it was a great little community! They had great landscaping, a cute pool area and was gated.  Oh well that's progress i suppose. 

Also, does anyone know what the steel building going up just to the south of Crappito's is?  Construction seems to have all but stopped on it. 

What's up with the old Wendys off Westheimer in Montrose? I knew that place would eventually close doors due to the nicer things around it, any idea on plans for the land?

Does anyone know what the new establishment is?  I noticed the old building is being remodled into something bigger and hopefully better. 

I agree, this would not only make people want to move to midtown, it would make people want to movet to the city period. This is the type of key element that I beleve Houston is missing. Regent Square will have this type of feel, but this one has that Time Square feel. I could see lots of people walking around in this area. The part that many of the similar developments in Houston mess up on is building their entire development on a lot and cuting out their own streets which are disconnected from the areas around them. This development is a part of the rest of the neighborhood which I like. That Fiesta in that area should have been demolished years ago and replaced with smething like this. And by the way, welcome to HAIF qtguy.

Thanks!!! Great info here! 

Id say yes and no, the land values in this area are rising fast. I see a few more developments like Richmond Landing built on both sides of 59. The way the economy is picking up even more gives me confidence that it won't be long before developers begin to take greater risks in this area. It has the potential to become a very dense pocket with rail easily accessible.

I could not agree more with this.  This is exactly the kind of thing that Houston is SO lacking right now and with all the new multi unit communities going up, seems like the time is right.  People need a reason to come to and live in midtown and this would be a big step in the right direction.
