    What's the word on this now. Any sort of timeline? Because if this happens it will really distinguish the Montrose neighborhood. This is the type of stuff Houston needs.

    Never because crap like this takes forever in this city.

    Its funny because I was just in this area today and I was like why the hell don't they make this area more pedestrian friendly... it has some elements of that but man why doesn't this city go crazy with laying sidewalks? Like consistent sidewalks with the same width from downtown and everywhere expanding from the cities core. If you added more pedestrian friendly areas for people to simply cross the damn street, you'll get a denser city with higher quality. Instead all these developments are half ass, with sidewalks to nowhere or that end out of nowhere and so much landscaping that it becomes hard to maintain all that crap. Instead if you made everything simple and just have all sidewalks come to the edge of the curb, you would find a nicer city with less maintenance. I just don't get it. And all these lots that are empty or overgrown, man fence that crap off. Is the city that strapped for money that they can't section off eyesore lots?

    3 more midrises to cover those other parking lots. Yeah I know about these, and I'm glad they're happening but man that crater on the south side of downtown sucks.
  5. j_cuevas713
    I'm amazed to see this midrise in a sea of parking spaces. I would've hoped for maybe 3 more of these midrises during the incentives program

    Man the Pierce destroyed some interesting parts of the city smh... seemed pretty dense too... just disappointing

    Wth man, that thing looks awesome. It just adds a cool element to the city. I like the entire color jam idea. I think they finally got something right.

    Saw what appeared to be an electrician checking a breaker box today on the side of this building.

    I do agree with you trust me... I just think the overall trend has not only come back to people moving back in to the inner city but also with saving older structures. If any city follows what the market is doing it's Houston. It's hard in some cities to distinguish what the overall trend in the market is because of such strict regulations on how and what to build. In this city you get such a huge spectrum on what is the current move in the market and what isn't. Houston is definitely changing culturally in many ways... whether it's salvaging history or embracing a clean "green" Houston, this city is going the right way and I can honestly say that I've never in my life seen Houston take such a huge initative in heading this direction. I think the culture of anything goes and not embracing this city is finally coming to an end. The culture in this city has been changing over the past 15 years and it's very exciting to see.

    That's really not true... historic preservation doesn't always mean maintaining every original part of a building... it's maintaining the structure as a whole... and honestly the original bricks of this structure would not have withstood the test of time... the best way was to restore it back to it's original build. And the statement that Houston isn't being built on history is wrong. There are so many structures being saved and repurposed in this city. It's becoming the trend in Houston and culturally it's becoming the norm. I work with a guy who owns Underbelly, Anvel, and a few other places and we've had the same talk but many of his partners notice the trend has changed in Houston. Whether it's salvaging and repurposing or building 100 percent green, the city is building the right way now.

    Wow they really are moving fast... well they have 5 more days

    I hope this is finished in time for the Super Bowl.

    I have never seen that particular fountain on. It was supposed to create a wall of water with images of the city projected on it. That thing has never even been turned on.
  15. j_cuevas713
    I mean we still got a solid week and a half lol... maybe this will be done
  16. j_cuevas713
    I mean honestly its not as bad as it seems. I take the 25 sometimes from there and there are a lot of families, etc, that enter and exit that station but yeah its a rough patch.
  17. j_cuevas713
    The city needs to really do something about that area. It would be nice if they used the space under the freeway for a nice park. I also envision the Wheeler TC to be more exciting. Like why not build a large bus depot type building with the trains entering. I could see that station being a major interchange for transfers. Idk just my opinion.

    Got this today on the train

    Use public transportation... you can't complain about parking yet favor more pedestrian friendly development and expect them to invest more to build a parking garage so you can neglect the transportation system you have in place to use. I ride the 36 to RedLine South every day and it's great.
  21. j_cuevas713
    YES!!!
  22. j_cuevas713
    Thank God, that Wendy's was terrible. I hope that plot of land becomes something to add to the area.
  23. j_cuevas713
    YEEEEEES! Omg this is gonna be so cool!
  24. j_cuevas713
    I mean why would they spend so much to improve a parking garage unless they expect to get some sort of return out of it. I feel it's either just updates to the garage, or prepping the garage for a retail tenant/tenants... because wasn't the original idea to demolish it for a multi-use project? Just seems odd
  25. j_cuevas713
    I've asked the same question with little response. It seems like they are renovating the building for better street presence. I would like to know what retailer has signed on though to be the anchor tenant.
