    The two buildings on the site are pretty basic even for the bail bonds and boxing gym currently there, as well as very inefficiently situated on the lot. If they find new tenants I'm sure they'll be building something new.

    A big lot just south of here just sold "for development". New neighbor? Either way, bummer for the new residents that won't have delicious sliders. http://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/31174-lot-at-montrose-and-california-sold-for-development/

    Slow but steady. The floor pictured is above the bottom parking level. Next floor will be above grade.

    The patio is still there but the sandbox is gone. Most of what the lost was the grass, which I never saw people occupy. If they rebuild the sandbox, I think the new shade from the neighboring building makes up for the lost grass.

    No significant activity as of 9/27.
  6. Alec
    Yep.

    Ha! They might have some trouble getting permits for that location. I think it's actually at the triangle where Preston meets Washington just north of Buffalo Bayou and I45.

    Variance requests were granted and plat approved 8/7.

    CREguy is talking about the Camden project to the North, not the blocks that are the subject of this thread.

    I believe they wait for a more concrete announcement than what we have now. If the map updated to HAIF rumors, skyhouse main would have been shown months ago.

    Yes, it is quite the little cluster of development when combined with the new broadstone apartments on Alabama. Check out the map on devmap.io - there's a sea of blue in midtown.

    The Natachee's gazebo was removed this morning.
  13. Alec
    Nope, pretty recent. I know because I used to use that sidewalk for walking.

    Variance request was considered July 24. I can't find the minutes, but they probably just aren't posted yet.

    That's a prime example - the undesirable behavior is ignored because there's enough other activity to draw people there. Everyone will benefit if Houston can do the same downtown.

    Certain behaviors are social pollution. If 1 in 10 people smell like urine, people avoid the area. If 1 in 100, that's just city life. I challenge you to find a homelessness or mental illness advocacy organization that celebrates social isolation; mixing is good and dilution of antisocial behavior helps that to happen.
  17. Alec
    Yep, dilution is the solution to pollution.

    There's a new developer sign posted at wheeler and main caddy corner to Sears. It lists commonground.net as the developer's website, but that is clearly a work in progress. Anyone heard of this outfit? I would love to see this big lot used as something other than a base of operations for panhandlers.

    Now that work is picking up on this, can we get this thread moved or mirrored back to Going Up? I doubt I'm the only one who had to dig to find it and it might be more accessible over there.

    First five floors of Central Square are gutted and windowless now. This project is going to have a very ugly neighbor in the short term, but it should be much better by leasing season. BTW, is there a thread for Central Square? I can't find it.

    Yes, I did read the article. Here is the reference to a 6500 seat professional stadium that prompted my question:

    So what's the deal with the sports complex? That article just talks about "junior" sports, but I also thought I saw the word "pro" on one of the renderings. Can we expect another minor league team like the Sugarland Skeeters? How about the New Caney New Canadians?
  23. Alec
    Is this project (farb apartments City Place II) complete? I wasn't sure if I should add it to the development map.
  24. Alec
    Cool! Anyone who hasn't kept tabs on The Susanne should check it out - by far the fastest mid rise project in town.

    Demo is already underway:
