Google satellite shows this on the KBR Lot now... Red circle is the temporary elevated driving range.

Thereare a few hints that im investigating about someone seeing the owner of top golf out on the site looking at the land. Looking and interest are two different things though. It would be perfect for the view but a whole lot would need to be built around it to make it possible

Bear in mind that I'm also the same guy that heard HEB was looking at the kbr site too. For right now just file this one under unsubstantiated rumors. Just looking to see if anybody else had heard the same thing

Anyone hear any rumors about top golf looking at this site?

Don't want to rain on your parade urbannizer but that lot won't be moving forward too quickly. Ike funds run out at the end of this year if I'm not mistaken. If tthe bringhurst infrastructure improvements go through, that is different from the bayou 5th rentals.

Site is getting mowed and Greater East End Management Signs are popping up. Anyone know whats going on?

Alright... Everyone ready for this....

What if UT doesn't want to buy that land in the SW... What if they want to instead purchase the KBR lot and adjacent MDI lot?!?!?

Look at the shape of the proposed layout... Very similar to the KBR and Adjacent MDI lots combined

The Ike funding is running out and no Mdi homes will be built on that lot in the near future....

Offices already in place on KBR site with utilities and sewage in place...

The KBR lot was freshly mowed a week ago. (first time in 2 years)....

No way this happens. UT to south west 100% going to happen

Noticed that the company lost it's real estate portion of its website.... anyone know what is going on with the owner or the property?

Does anyone have a loopnet account or know of another means to see if this land is for sale right now. It says members only and im not going to spend $79 dollars to find out.

Pan that image a little more east.... I think the city is giving up on redeveloping a river walk on KBR lot.

So apparently there are 2 cranes being assembled on the Most eastern portion of the property and a new gas line being installed by Centerpoint. Signs of life?

Millions are being poured into TIRZ 18 with no economic output. They leveraged city funding with a plan to develop the lower portion of "The Bottom" yet conveniently ran out of money less that 40% of the way complete. Now they are forcing the owners of KBR lot to join their TIRZ but its becoming a major stink because they want to be separate. 

It will be a few years. RIght now that area is looking to build about 600+ homes in the immediate vicentity of KBR lot over the next 3 years. Once that happens as well as continued East End expansion will cause commercial developmetn to become necessary and KBR will pounce. Thats the reason they didnt want the botanical garden on that site. Its worth way too much. The only issue with that area is 5th ward politics causing so many problems for the owner. Look no further for corrupt politicians that 5th Ward CRC and the TIRZ 18.

Using my powers of Google, I just happened to search out the adress for cathexis and found another company sharing the same suite (Catsyn LLC). They seem to be related based on the people that work at both

Half the property is divided on hcad right now towards Jensen. Its a great property with so much potential. Hate to see it held or mis-managed into a crummy shopping center. I'm afraid that the market for 300k+ townhomes are being eaten up quickly all over town. If Hines builds its other community out on the west side near 610 and i-10, it will be hard to fill these. Although a great skyline view and immediate bayou access are hard to pass up
