    I saw moving trucks at the church this past week so it looks like they might start demolition soon.

    That photo was taken at 3:30 PM, near the sun's minimum (winter) elevation. My guess is that during the summer (sun's maximum elevation) the northern half of the pool will get direct sun for 2-3 hours. So yes, no sunscreen necessary.

    The pool looks like it's getting close. (Photo taken Saturday, 2/22)

    Just wanted to give a heads-up to anyone interested in attending. The Planning Dept. website doesn't show the next meeting date. WHAT: Public hearing to consider the proposed Midtown Walkable Place Pilot Area Plan WHEN: Thursday, March 5, 2:30PM WHERE: City Hall Annex Chambers, Public Level (900 Bagby St.) MORE INFO: The plan addresses things like setbacks, sidewalk widths, and the location of parking spaces. http://www.houstontx.gov/planning/Commissions/walkable-places-midtown.html http://www.houstontx.gov/planning/wp-committee.html

    The previous post referenced a site close to the Med Center large enough for a Microsoft campus. That's the first chunk of land that came to mind. As much as I would like Microsoft to move into the Ion, I'm hesitant to think that Rice would allow any company to put a "campus" there.

    Don't forget about the UT land that's for sale south of the Med Center.

    From today.

    Yes, it's open. Nice spot to hang out after work. They have a sign in the bar area that they update each day with the time of sunset, which I thought was a nice touch.

    I believe they closed for construction/remodeling. They recently applied for a setback variance so not sure if this a major change to the existing structure or if they are adding an additional one.

    The Instagram account makes this look like it's a place for "influencers" to smell each other's farts. I'm glad the building is occupied, but I doubt I will be a customer.

    It appears the square footage in their filing was a typo. CultureMap Houston is reporting 2,800 sqft addition, which is more in line with the Bar Munich takeover I was imagining. http://houston.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/01-31-20-glorias-latin-cuisine-midtown-location-closed-remodeling/

    The more I see the Rowdy tags on HAIF threads, the more I wonder if he/she is a commenter here...

    The retractable roof is now fully installed. I'm wondering if this is going to be another club/concert venue.

    They could just extend the columns from the current roof up to the next floor plate and begin pouring. The current roof area would be a maintenance and storage floor that is wrapped in glass like the rest of the tower. The buffer between the hotel and office portions would also keep the construction noise down. Once the hotel is ready, you would build out the elevator infrastructure and connect them once complete.

    After visiting Fabrica la Aurora in San Miguel de Allende, I was thinking this would be a really cool spot for artist studios and a high end gallery. However, based on the description on their website, it will be yet another co-working space:

    The plan is to build out the courts and basic amenities first (in order to open by May), then the finishing touches would be added in the following months. Easily achievable, in my opinion... but yes, they need to start ASAP.

    This article says the next phase will break ground in Q2 2020. https://www.multihousingnews.com/post/laneways-midtown-a-growth-story-from-the-south/

    The way the structure is designed, it looks like it could be a retractable roof. That is an interesting twist to this development.

    I love that the tide in Houston has shifted to master planned high-density infill. This video shows what every large parcel in the inner loop should be destined for.

    I think a lot of that was designated to the stand-alone parking garage. If this is a podium or wrap structure, it should go up a lot quicker.

    Sunset has announced an opening date of January 17th:

    I saw them working on that a month or so ago. Couldn't determine if that was the original Proof structure or something new.

    The synergy between this food hall (if it materializes) and the Hawker food hall across main will be incredible for foot traffic. Not to mention, once the hotel, condos, and additional rental units at Laneways come on line AND with the AMCAL highrise going up... this section of McGowen will be unrecognizable in 5 years.

    No clue why Next Level even bothered to test the countdown clock on their website... so many other things that need to be done before that.

    After reviewing the wording (https://casetext.com/statute/texas-codes/property-code/title-8-landlord-and-tenant/chapter-92-residential-tenancies/subchapter-a-general-provisions/section-920132-effective-112020-term-of-parking-permit), it makes no mention of anything other than: if the landlord issues a permit, they must honor it. Therefore, if your lease states that it's up to you to find parking (aka street parking) this new change does not apply.
