    Update on this:

    I saw them taking down the back part between the auto shop and larger building on Friday. There were also guys repaying the soffit and roof of the space next to the dance studio on the corner. Seems promising.

    I saw something awhile back about a group trying to make this area a quiet zone, but it doesn't seem like any progress is being made toward achieving that goal. There is no way someone could live here and get a full night's sleep.

    I find it fitting that this development, on Gillette Street, seems to have taken inspiration from a stack of razors. Well done.

    Just in case you guys have forgotten that the webcam exists: https://blogs.uh.edu/infotech/services/webcam/ftpractice/video.mjpg?resolution=704x480&dummy=1491223168750

    That's his maroon car parked across from our cars in the video.

    Finally got around to taking the drone around the site. Sorry the video is so short. I know the developers transferred ownership of the streets to the city, but security guy said I was trespassing on private property. Didn't want to piss him off because this is a fun place to fly.

    I think you just solved the problem. We'll build the underground tunnels, wait for them to flood, and pass out high-fives as we introduce the world's first subterranean submarine mass transit system.

    Sorry for the lack of photographic evidence, but there is a VERY LARGE hole on this site. Like half a block by half a block by 10 feet deep large. Quite the progress since I drove by a week ago.

    It appears the property is for sale now.

    I really thought they were going to wait to try to assemble the whole block, but I'm glad this is moving forward. This area needs a shot in the arm, which hopefully this development and ATMA across the street will provide. Fingers crossed for GFR!!!

    Machinery is on site and dirt is being turned.

    "Can't cross over" was referring to cars. You can walk over at the Drew intersection, as shown in this pre-Camden/Superblock Park GoogleMaps picture:

    You can't cross over the rail line at this location and the blocks running parallel on either side aren't one way... so I don't see abandonment as a huge issue.
  15. phillip_white
    I noticed someone demo-ed the whole block a couple streets away from the lofts. Anyone know what's going in?

    More like One Park-It Square...

    I have a feeling the drone is going to want to have a look at this...

    Remember when we thought Block 334 was taking forever to complete? I think this one has it beat.

    They had the option to put retail, office, or housing units on the ground floor. It appears they believe retail is the most marketable.

    I really appreciate mixed use developments like this. Most places in Houston are developed for arrive/buy/depart mentality. Even if you think the structure itself is ugly, you have to admit that Mid Main is turning into a destination where even a it's-too-hot-to-walk Houstonian may take the time to explore the area. And to think that the same developer owns most of the property in the immediate area... I can't wait to see what else they have planned.

    View of Discovery Green from the 2nd floor balcony at Biggio's. We didn't try the food, but the old-fashioneds are tasty.

    I was also perplexed by the way the wrap glows at night time, but it's definitely a projector of some sort. They were playing clips of videos on the window wrap when I was there last night. Very cool however they're doing it.

    I got there right as the demo guys were leaving. They said they have until Friday to get the building down or they have to wait until after the Superbowl... but didn't elaborate as to why.
