    There has to be a way pedestrians can cross without worry. Maybe if all of our highways had some sort of bridge? Idk

    No... you need greenspace throughout each neighborhood... if I live in Midtown (which I do) then having to travel downtown just to go to the park is too far... plus new greenspace increases land value for the immediate area... there is no redundancy in creating quality development

    I feel like this development is going to become a Rice Village shopping area over time

    I went back and looked at TxDOT's "plan" and this whole idea would cripple the city for a nice long while. It would widen, not close the gap between the East End and Downtown. The Pierce Elevated would be demolished last and it is such a small segment compared to the hell many people, businesses, neighborhoods, etc, would have to go through before anything clears up. And even when it clears up, what have you accomplished??? This would be an absolute disaster for just a small section of covered freeway and a small section of the Pierce elevated demolished in return. Why not make access under 59 more inviting!? Do something with the space provided under the freeway! Double decker 45 and 59 like in other cities! So in summary, TxDOT is going to turn a crap load of dirt for people who can't find another way to get to work other than their cars!? Like give me a break. Those of us who live in the city have to cater to everyone else. I get around just fine on my feet.

    This is actually a good development for the neighborhood. The reason the east side get's "this stuff" is because the majority of that side of the neighborhood is families. Now within that 3 to 4 block radius you have a dentist, a nice park, etc. IMO a development like this is better for the quality of life. In much the same way the new Crime Stoppers building serves a similar purpose.

    Had some good times in those apartments

    I wouldn't doubt it in this case.

    These look so damn good

    Yeah but every city enforces a degree of development it feels is needed for an area to have future potential growth. This is basically what the city is starting to enforce. They want to build out Midtown quickly but with lots of options for more retail in the future.

    From what I remember, this development was going to be built next to a cemetery. Basically the back porch of a few of the units would have been within a few feet of tombstones. People were upset but the develop kept going. Then the building burned down.

    Think about if the developer had just listened to what the people wanted.

    According to the Business Journal, they are closing 9 and opening 6 from what I read. I'm assuming 1 of the 6 is the new Midtown location.

    It was taken off? I just walked past there and it was on

    I was in shock to see that the planning commission actually made that request... Houston is changing for the better guys!

    So glad this is going up. These types of projects spur more projects like this. It bothered me for the longest wondering when those buildings on that side of Midtown were going to start coming down for new development.
  18. j_cuevas713
    I never said it would be smart to start this project with the way the econony is. Hell, I'd hold off too. My point is when he had plenty of time to decide and the market was strong what was holding him back then??? We all gave him grief then. So yeah the economy will pick up and things will get better, and the money will start flowing again. But from what they've shown, the state of the economy doesn't matter. We have developers still building in this city regardless. "At some point" doesn't sound encouraging and a push out date of 4 years from now doesn't either. That's all I'm saying.
  19. j_cuevas713
    Then I guess we're all wasting our time caring then if that's the case. We're all wasting our time wanting great development as well. Whether we know the in's and out's is really irrelevant, because even if Campo isn't calling all the shots, something is seriously wrong with being able to pull the trigger on projects. And trust me I'm far from a moron when it comes to publicly traded companies. There is clearly a track record with not being able to finish projects as expected and not having enough reason to start a new one. Yet investor after investor is deciding to move forward regardless. There were no assumptions with my previous statements, those are plain facts.

    Idk what to say. This guy is a coward. He pushes everyone else to build build build, but when it comes to him he remains "bullish on downtown!" How in the )(&()$*&$(*@ do you remain bullish about downtown and not make a move! Makes ZERO sense!!! Then he has the nerve to say "at some point." I hope at some point he steps down from his position and allows someone who actually believes in this city to move forward.
  21. j_cuevas713
    Great point! This is so key in making the city more cohesive.
  22. j_cuevas713
    Awesome news! I want this to be as successful as the mix has been. It will really connect the area along with the future Whole Foods and Midtown Park.

    Just in case anyone is wondering Ay Te Miro means see you soon
  24. j_cuevas713
