    That would never happen. You all realize TMC is an actual entity/protected trademark and that its largest source of revenue is parking fees lol?

    Yes, in Medellin there is a well known and successful project. Caracas also uses them but mainly to connect informal areas to existing metro stations.

    I would love for this to be built, would make reaching this part of town way easier (I live close by). Back part of OST is underdeveloped because the light rail and bayou make reaching it a little harder then other areas near by.

    All of near nothside, most of 5th ward, 3rd ward, and midtown are opportunity zones.

    Well a big delay in the project was getting the historic tax credits approved while allowing modifications such as skylights punched in the roof... There are a few tenants signed up already. The fingers furniture site (or can't remember if Macy's site) I don't believe isn't being developed but they are putting some pad sites in front (Fast Food/Commercial Tenants). They aren't in a rush and have recently acquired acquired some other big lots recently. They function in a long term land bank strategy. They own so many lots of Harrisburg for example, was there a rush to put in Baker Ripley or the CVS? It's not even 1/5th developed.

    I have a house nearby so would hope so as well but I heavily doubt it because they haven't done it at at other new location I've seen built lately. The oaks at the Montrose store were already there from the torn down apartment complex.

    Probably because they anticipate in a few years something built up against it I would imagine.

    Can anything be worse than Memorial by Windsore and the housing project next door lol?

    https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2019/02/22/developer-to-build-new-office-retail-on-site-of.html?iana=hpmvp_hstn_news_headline It's this I'm assuming.

    They already demolished half the center this week on the left side:)!

    Valobra just built a huge new store on a lot next to St.Anne's church down the street so I'm sure that space is being leased out.

    It's chugging along, entertainment is so far what's been subscribed to the most in terms of what's been taken. I know the F/B component is progressing as well.

    No, it seems like it's there in the back with the green roof?

    Since we all pay taxes to maintain street, who exactly gets to demand parking is "spilling" onto public residential streets? Such an elitist way of thinking... That area has been commercial for over 100 years and used to be denser so there is not exactly anything new under the sun here. If you want a private street where no one can park there are plenty of those in Cypress or The Woodlands.

    UH is not undefunded, and if you don't think that's exactly what people do with bad schools then what are all these charter schools doing in the carcasses of bad HISD schools that couldn't compete? People don't seems to understand this is about creating more slots and capacity for students. A city of 7 million can't have one "ok" public option. Seriously who would turn away a free state level gift. FYI, it's also a dropout factory with less than 50% of students ever graduating and we are talking about the main campus. UT Dallas for example has a graduation rate of 60%. "Overall, 49.4% of U of H Undergrads Finish Within Six Years"

    That's like saying you shouldn't build a new good highschool because there's a crappy one in the area that will lose students. Like who cares, education is about benefiting students, not a monopolizing rent seeking institution. Do you see University of Dallas or SMU complaining about another resource for their city?

    That's not what killed what killed it, had more to do with returns.

    Is the exterior surface supposed to look like that? Looks like soggy cardboard to me with the undulating ripples.

    I don't think many people here get how high quality projects by Rem Koolhaas/OMA tend to be, it's obviously not going to be easy and fast. The project is advancing on the inside and I know several leases have been signed so it's starting within a few months. The second phase has highrises (3-4), I don't think anyone has posted those renders here.

    LOL, who are these "people"? Oh yes, it's the city and the site's owner, Midway who corrupt everything they touch. Same people proposing a TIRZ funded trolley to their isolated site while there are literally hundreds of acres of empty lots within a block of light-rail access. Not a dime should going towards making their property easy to lease while there is so much left to waste closer to downtown on existing infrastructure investments.

    Where did you get RA sushi from? That RA is the name of the vintage furniture place currently there, have they said anything?

    Impressive line-up though they are taking so long some retailers like Scoop NYC don't even exist anymore lol. Would be really impressed if Soho House and a few others were actually present.
  24. iah77
    Their store on Westheimer is such a disappointment compared to the design of their other stores outside Texas. Hopefully this one is better.

    Lol, claiming to be first chef driven food hall in the world. These chef's counter food halls are all over, especially in Seoul or like Sarona market Tel Aviv etc.
