    If I am looking at that drawing right, it seems to be a suburban-style garden-style apartment complex with open-air parking of the type they are starting to tear down inside the loop now because of its very low density.  I hope I'm missing something here, because this seems totally out of place for something that should have an urban feel.

    Indeed, I think they are. HCAD discloses 411 Richmond was acquired by an entity called “401 Richmond LLC” (yes, it’s 401 not 411) about June 19, 2018. 4510 Main was acquired by an entity called “4510 S Main LLC” about June 15, 2018. Both LLC’s share the same mailing address at 6100 Main St., Houston, TX 77005—which is at Rice University (it’s the same mailing address Rice uses for the Fiesta). Looks like Rice may have picked up a couple more parcels.

     

     

    It appears that it's called "401 Richmond LLC" rather than "411" because it's the same entity that owns the 401 property next door, which currently has a Shipley Donuts store on it.  So Rice owns both properties.

    I think a big reason why the Catalyst is filling up is because of the insane concessions they are making on rent.  A coworker of mine just moved in there and got 3 months free on a 1 year lease, making it a good value.  But she said she'll move out after the year because the normal market rent is more than she's willing to pay.

    Why don't residential towers do this (have extra parking for non-residents/shoppers)? To me, and clearly I'm not a savvy developer, but it could give more justification to include GFR if they wanted to add it, essentially increasing the amount of potential customers.

     

    Some residential towers do do this.  For example, One Park Place has parking for Phoenicia shoppers, and The Star leases out contract parking to non-residents.

    On desktop, drag the image from whichever page to your post on HAIF. The image will be seen by everyone. That method also works for web addresses or links. Put the link in the search bar, highlight it and then drag to your editing field on HAIF. It's a workaround for now until the admin fixes the board.

    Thank you!  Now if only I could "like" your post!

     

    This is the image I was referring to:

    If we could find a higher resolution version of the stack diagram (I can't post it here because image posting still seems to be broken; somehow ekdrm2d1 and blakevirgilio figured out how, but I've tried Chrome, Firefox, and Edge and none will post photos), we could know for sure, but the low resolution version posted by blakevirgilio appears to say something like 720 feet if you squint.  Also, Block 42 looks like it says 520 feet on that same diagram.  Wish we could get a better copy of the image!

    It hasn't really changed since that June 8 photo.  I'll post a photo once HAIF fixes image posting (I'm not sure how some people have been able to get it to work, because it's totally broken for me), but it looks basically the same as a month ago.  They've pushed a lot of dirt around, probably in preparation for pouring the foundation, though.  I guess it won't have a basement since they haven't dug anything out.

    They've now added another restaurant to Bravery called ATLAS.  From their email to investors:

    Construction
    Awaiting last series of comments from Houston city planning.
    Initial painting of shell has commenced.

    Floorplan has been adjusted to accommodate an additional concept.

    Subcontractor selections have been finalized and preliminary equipment orders have been placed.

     

    Concepts
    Conceptual design, including finalizing food and drink menus, logos, branding, web and social media presence and aesthetic finishes to accentuate the individuality of each concept is continuing.

    A rework of the initial floorplan has allowed Team Bravery to allocate space for an additional concept to work in tandem with the outdoor bar space. This additional concept stands to increase Bravery’s public appeal and profitability.

    The additional concept, ATLAS, will be an elevated Diner concept with design elements reminiscent of 1930’s and 1940’s design.  Think Edward Hopper’s famous Nighthawks painting in Chicago.

    The outdoor bar space, The Secret Garden, will feature a unique glass greenhouse design and feature multiple frozen cocktails, Frosé and bottled cocktail options for expedited and efficient high-volume service.

    These two concepts will work in tandem. ATLAS & The Secret Garden will work synergistically to provide late night food and drink offerings and act as the “go to” Brunch destination in Downtown Houston.

     

    Media
    Team Bravery is in contact with local & national media to release updates on concept development and opening schedule. We are working with Visit Houston and GHCVB to ensure mentions in their ongoing press efforts.

    We have had interest from award-winning documentary filmmakers for a possible television series featuring Bravery’s concept and development. Fingers crossed!


    Overview
    The Blind Goat from Chef Christine Ha

    Cherry Block Craft Butcher and Seasonal Kitchen from Chef/Rancher Felix Flores

    BOH Pasta from Chef Ben McPherson

    Nuna Nikkei Bar from Chef David Guerrero

    ATLAS elevated diner (Chef to be announced)

    Fresh Seafood Concept Name TBD (announcing shortly)

    Indie Bar Operated by local bar talent with evolving and changing concept schedule

    Bravery Wine Bar Pouring unique wines produced solely for Bravery will act as the hub of operations for the food hall.

    Secret Garden Outdoor space featuring fast and fun cocktail options and the ultimate Brunch destination.


    Team Bravery looks forward to serving up a unique dining experience to Houstonians and visitors from around the globe. Stay tuned for more information as we get closer to an anticipated opening in Fall 2018.

    A little hard to see in this photo, but they've gone above ground now with the rebar.  Also, in the background it seem they are assembling another crane, behind the church.  Is this related or another project?

    Sorry, you will have to click the link to see the photo.  HAIF no longer seems to allow embedding images for me, and I've tried multiple browsers and multiple computers so it seems something is broken on their site.
