    Very exciting!

    Pitch25 says they are trying to open by the end of the month:

    Ummm...... WAT. I'm sorry, but there is absolutely no way. Let me be clear, that this project is fascinating and I'd love to see it come to fruition. First of all, most people don't want to boat on the San Jacinto River, much less on Lake Houston. There's debris everywhere and the lake sucks. There is a boat launch in River Grove Park right next to this, but still. This would require radical changes to the streets in the area. It's in a really awkward spot to get in and out of the area for a major development. Even extending Woodland Hills over the river wouldn't help that much. If the Kingwood area can't even attract a single luxury car manufacturer, how would they be able to uphold a crazy luxury home and commercial district like this? This looks like The Woodlands and I don't think Kingwood is up for this. I'm sitting here just stunned this is even being presented.

    They are one of several tenants. The building itself is owned/operated by the East Montgomery County Improvement District.

    Looks like initial fares are right at $300 RT while United is asking $638. Interjet is also flying the Sukhoi Superjet on the route. They are one of the few north american airlines using the SSJ100 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukhoi_Superjet_100 It holds 93 versus United's 4X daily service with EMB-175 aircraft which have 76 seats.

    @Twinsanity02 This is one of the land clearing photos from their Twitter account. The green roof in the background is one of the EMCID buildings I marked them in the second pic with the star.

    Looks like there is an official twitter account for the H&I segments here: https://twitter.com/sh99grandpkwy It says that tree clearing started March 26 and another tweet April 10 said that it's continuing M-Sat 0700-1800. They may have made it approx 1/2 mile in the first 2 weeks.

    I'm assuming this was in connection with Le Meridien?

    Had a mini panic attack/sadness because the two softball fields in the middle where the land bridge are have disappeared on the rendering, but then I saw that they added two more in the north end of the park. I was so sad for a moment!

    Surely whoever buys this would renovate, right? Is this lot really good enough to demo and build something else?

    I live in Westmoreland, and I'm basically surrounded by construction with Elgin and W Alabama being torn up and now Tuam@Bagby being torn up. None of it looks close to being done. I'm assuming it's all sewer work.

    Much better article/press release here: http://memorialparkconservancy.org/latest-news/97-memorial-park-accelerates-visionary-plan-with-70-million-gift-from-kinder-foundation.html

    They edited it! That would make more sense though.

    Holy Shit. Kinder Foundation donates $70 million to fast-track the largest projects of the master plan. https://www.chron.com/local/article/Memorial-Park-restoration-gets-a-70-million-boost-12863707.php?utm_campaign=twitter-premium&utm_source=CMS Sharing Button&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=twitter-desktop&utm_source=CMS Sharing Button&utm_medium=social

    While it's a shame to potentially lose the Fiesta, we are gaining a Whole Foods like 10-12 blocks away and the museum district HEB about 1.5 miles to the south. While density doesn't have enough demand at the moment, it'll likely be coming soon as midtown densifies more and it having a prime spot just one block from a light rail stop.

    It's so beautiful. I can't wait. I've been dreaming of them closing Main for years.

    @phillip_white Where is that PDF with the Main Street information?

    NIce article with some highlights from the announcement: http://news.rice.edu/2018/04/12/historic-midtown-sears-building-to-anchor-houston-innovation-district-2/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=SEARS&utm_campaign=Facebook links That sounds muy bueno. Really good that Station Houston is going to be the operator in my uneducated opinion. Two years, as reported before, would be awesome. Keeping the art deco aspect would fantastic. This is looking to be an A++++ situation.
