    FINALLY! now we just need to see the one on wash ave..

    Fiesta is a great idea with poor execution. I think they have a great market, but haven't been able to capitalize on it. I am hopeful they figure out how to grow and make money. No reason why they cant attract a variety of customers.

    good question... Montrose was definitely considered seedy... So was the Heights. Both of which are on their way to be very 'high end'.

    They absolutely need a grocer here. We need Aldi's or Trader Joe's to be incorporated into these developments. Why aren't urban Aldi's a thing?

    Well, This shouldnt be compared to Calhoun Lofts. It is clear that was built with better materials. I worry how these will age based on materials (mostly stucco) and design (pieces of the building's architecture that stick out) that will naturally deteriorate faster, and the color (dated).

    all these mid-rises going up near UH are going to look like absolute trash in 10 years. Is all this development actually helping the area or is it hurting it because this construction is so cheap?

    I’m sad to see this previously untouched land messed with... for this development? Not feeling it’s worth it.

    the outdoor terrace removed was for the offices above. still an outdoor patio on 1st floor.

    post above indicates it will be a 6 story garage.

    Do you have more color on this? Was it office oriented? Why delay an announcement - its a very long lead item.

    I think we have a thread for memorial park... You are correct, the memorial park picnic loop needs some attention. It isn't really attractive, nor is it modern in its functionality. I think there can be some major improvements.

    i counted 27 floors... to imagine this 12 - 13 floors more means this thing is going to be HUGE
  13. Avossos
    I'm getting about the same. 19 more floors to go? I forget if this tower is 47 flors or 48. I always round up and call it 50 to my peeps. Ok - just opened my eyes I guess. Thread says 47... 😵

    Quail Valley then Sienna Plantation

    I grew up in missouri city too... The determining factor to me is.. does the - apartment / townhome / single family / ranch / etc - owner take pride in their space? if you have a tiny home with a micro yard, but you're outside making sure all is right, then you are a part of community. If you're in an apartment and you couldn't care less how your balcony looks and dont bother with a welcome mat or pot, you're probably not contributing to community. The way development is designed can really contribute to this. See townhome development 3 on a lot v 2... huge difference in how people live.

    buffalo bayou Park is the jewel of our city.

    Maybe we need to confirm if this is an active parking situation... meaning... are the signs indicating this is parking gone? Are there places to pay? access is available? groundbreaking tends to get delayed on most projects.

    This park needs some love, if we are honest. If this materializes like the rendering, there is hope that Houston Endowment will be helping fund a Spotts Park renovation!

    This is not st joseph's building... I like just dashes better.
  20. Avossos
    Good find, thanks! Very interesting to see these low rise, urban developments prioritize green space and the 'experience'. Certainly takes a singular vision.
  21. Avossos
    Very interesting... I will need to take a look to see how this all fits. I am not sure I am getting the real feel from the pictures... Bamboo gone. GOOD. That is really not right for Houston. I wonder why the decided to block off the West side of the fountain / obelisk (sp?) again. I thought it would be much more profound if it was left open to the park...
  22. Avossos
    does that mean they are digging up some dirt?

    One day, will the bank lot become a tower of some sort? Always curious what will happen when the corner owner holds out. There are a good bit of examples in Houston that the corner lot is being wrapped around by a large midrise. I wonder if it is sustainable beyond 10-20 more years.
  24. Avossos
    All the equipment is gone. Cars parked in lot earlier today.

    I have done a Ferris Day in Houston... It honestly so much fun. French Restaurant - La Colombe D'or... baseball was awesome. The only real problem is finding a parade on a weekday that coincides with a day baseball game!!
