    There was a three-week cycle because the planning commission took the July 4th week off, so I'm guessing they must have accidentally missed their window to extend the validity of the plat.

    The name appears to be intended to be SOSO EADO. Excited to see this one moving forward. I think that they must be planning to do some serious-ish modifications to the structure, otherwise they wouldn't need to plat.

    @HNathoo Did you post about how you were involved with this property?

    Last I looked this was still on the market? For like 2-3X the cost per square foot of the one across the street that just sold. Interesting.

    I think the goal will be faster than that, but I'm not holding my breathe. Honestly, it really depends on the mayoral and city council election this year.

    Nice to see this one transacting at a much more realistic price of low $60s/sqft. The combined property across the street is still listed at a $172/sqft

    Primary entrance along the trail? Amazing. Based on HCAD parcel map, their property only extends towards the trail by 10' tops, so all of t hat fenced in patio area is not realistic unless they rent it from the city. This project would be a great addition!

    It was one of the projects that TIRZ 15 was considering funding. There was a station proposed for here originally, so a significant amount of groundwork has already been done.

    Chef Benchawan from Street to Kitchen won the James Beard award for Best Chef: Texas tonight. Be sure to grab a reservation as they'll fill up pretty quickly and haven't been lately.

    I'm glad that we can cuss on HAIF now. Was always frustrating to have the cuss words replaced with a random word instead.

    City of Houston Bicycle Advisory Committee mentioned that this is the next city-focused bike project. Complete street rebuild and extending some form of the Harrisburg Trail and bike lanes to San Jacinto St in downtown 👀

    Glad this one went this way! Looking forward to seeing it developed.

    Lots of good discussion at the BAC Infrastructure meeting yesterday. They did mention that Commerce would be the next major city-tackled project. Based on some of the drawings I saw at the Eado TIRZ meeting awhile back, I think the plan is to effectively extend the Harrisburg Trail with a multi-use path with some type of greenery buffer. Some type of infrastructure would extend up to Austin St to connect to the bike lane there and Buffalo Bayou. I ride this everyday on the way to work, and this has real potential to be a game changer for anyone else that might bike commute. Commerce is so rough that I've literally had some screws shake out of my bike. They also talked about adding a lane going up San Jacinto to Wood St as part of the canal project.

    FYI: the revised general plan is just shifting an alignment of one of the streets on the east side by about 10' or so, so very minor change.

    I'm really not sure what the best use for this site would be. Effectively zero on-site parking available. The site to the east is at least partially used by a metal fabrication shop.

    Didn't grab a pic, but brick was going up on the front of the structure along Polk.

    Went back and they still haven't recorded the plat. It doesn't expire until first week of July, though. They'll have to get a separate permit for the cedar tree as it appears to be in the city ROW. Basically, it isn't their tree to tear down.

    I seem to remember talk of a ferry to shuttle people to downtown, but that looks way too steep to comfortably walk down.

    This is from two days ago. Second story of sticks being started on the peninsula. Love how fast this is going up. Random data point, by my wife's hairdresser is in her early 20s and her studio is near the Heights. Currently lives in Midtown, but wanted to move to Eado but didn't there wasn't a 1BR apartment that met what she wanted for price and amenities so she ended up at the Chelsea Museum District. I have to think that this complex would have met her requirements if it were open. Forth at Navigation was more $$$ for a similar unit after incentives, which is kind of crazy.

    Fix coming in the next 1-3 years based on TIRZ project! yeah.... that's probably going to take awhile unless someone comes up with $100 milly for it.
