  1. I can think of one good one thatโ€™s a goner. Is there more?
  2. My whole family is also in Sienna Plantation. If they could connect FBTR to 610 in anyway, that would be huge! It would shave off 10/15 minutes... I was hoping that they would find a way to get this done. I feel - like so many road projects - the vision is only partially achieved. Hardy / Fort Bend / That spur project by UH that they demolished so many homes for ROW years ago... Why can't we just finish what we start?
  3. while this is no award winning design, I think it fits in with the area and feels very basic. I find it as welcome improvement from the warehouses that were there. I especially like the trees. Kevin - Safety is important and I hope they can improve... the bike path is very important.
  4. doubt it. the rendering included here looks ultra suburban... even rural almost. I bet the actual rendering is a much smarter use of land.
  5. Does anyone know what floor they are on, or how many they have left to go?
  6. You should have been at the neighborhood meetings! Some people seemed like they'd give their left hand to save it. I think more good could have been done with the money, but the proposed plan seems nice too. Oh well.
  7. Love the pictures and love this hotel concept. Houston badly needs small scale boutique hotels! These are the kind of places i look for when I go to new cities... little hotels within cool neighborhoods. Are these drawings released because the project is dead or is the project moving forward?
  8. well it never went for sale. This is owned by the Houston housing authority. This will have a small % of rent controlled units for seniors. Majority (85% or so?) will be market rate.
  9. Looks like darker glass or metal at the bottom here... Are you sure it is glass? If it is, we may have 2 colors of glass here.
  10. if they paint that front building red, it could easily be a large 'Red Lobster'
  11. I just think your critique maybe led them to keep the stones despite your protest ๐Ÿ˜˜ we need a photo shoot infront of those stones.
  12. I'd like to see more direct confirmation that hardy extension is shelved... Like you said much work has been done already - millions and millions of dollars. It is aggrevating to me that *IF* this is actually on hold, there was no official announcement by HCTRA OR Houston Chronicle reporting...
  13. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ฌ I had a feeling. It might work, aesthetically... but it also may be very strange to have a eccentric building next to the 'ritzy' galleria... Are those stones painted? I don't mind stones in architecture, but i really dislike PAINTED stones...
  14. It seems pretty dooming if Cinemark has an upcoming theater section and Lower Heights was there, and now is not. I was trying to find an excuse, but I don't think there is one other than the deal is dead. Bummer... I wonder if another theater would jump on this? It is probably tough times for theaters right now. I would love an Alamo Drafthouse / specialty theater here.
  15. Building renovation on Washington Ave (In Old Sixth Ward) from Deal Co. https://www.dealco.net/listings/detail/1d9d0b12-24e0-4040-9d8e-c633171de03c 'After' image: 'Before' image:
  16. Those columns will likely remain. VT makes a point to get funky / awkward buildings and keep some of the original features.
  17. Lower Heights District made Summer Street much improved. It only needs a little more to connect. Is there a plan to do so?
  18. I have been wondering what is going on as well... definitely some ground work, but i couldn't tell if it seemed more like a building or a parking lot
  19. This is really beautiful! It looks perfect for the area and considering it is going in my neighborhood, I am thrilled! I hope this gets built!
