Whoa...just saw this article:

https://www.houstoniamag.com/slideshows/2018/10/31/the-rustic-downtown

that states:

Beyond that, though, The Rustic will open a second Houston location at The Galleria, according to Free Range Concepts. The opening of that location is preliminary slated for summer 2019.

wow! cant wait...my area just keeps getting better and better! I wonder where it will be located...?! any ideas? Maybe Post Oak Corner? that would be the ideal spot in my opinion! 

Uptown park would make the most sense, though im not sure they have the available space for a venue that large? Next guess is somewhere on Richmond.

The site is adjacent to Stage HQ and Public Storage. This is NOT the County Building north of Public Storage.

Mid rise, I'd guess. On that site, you can probably fit that many units in 5 stories. 

https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2018/06/04/developer-new-heights-waterworks-apartments-will.html

Broadstone Waterworks is going to be 8 stories with 309 units. 

45% more units with about 40% more land. More units = more parking so depends on how they do the parking (podium or separate structure). If parking is a separate structure then it'll probably be 8-10 stories. 

Not sure why there's so many tears about not having a path along the bayou. If you want that, then go to BBP or one of the other many bayou paths around Houston. Plus, its not like the bayou is eye-pleasing.

With  the  successful  completion  in  2015  of  River  Oaks  District,   a  luxury  mixed-use  project  boasting  some  of  Houston’s  top  performing  retail  and  restaurant  destinations,  OliverMcMillan  is  looking  to  develop  a  parcel  adjacent  to  the  current  project. The  parcel  will  consist  of  267  luxury  apartment  homes  located  above  6,000  square  feet  of  retail  &  restaurant  space. The  new  development  will  also  be  located  next  to  a  new  luxury  hotel  tower  commencing  construction  in  late-2018.   Phase  II  is  anticipated  to  begin  construction  in  2020  with  a  2022  completion  date

Phase 2 begins construction in 2020, consists of Apts with GFR. The Luxury hotel is no longer consider part of phase 2. But this is just semantics. 

Houston, brought to you by Hanover. 

Love it.

La Peep at 4702 Westheimer is on today’s demo report.

 

Is this apart of Phase II? Looks to be the same parking lot?

Yes its the phase 2 lot, but i'm not sure they're going to start phase 2 yet. Technically the Equinox hotel, which is moving forward, is not part of ROD phase 2.

Very basic answer: People in NY are actually out on the streets, so any trash is noticed. People aren't walking around everywhere here.

I believe that Tilman will, also, develop some surrounding areas and create more of entertainment district around Toyota Center. 

Lets hope its more Post Oak than the Aquarium or Kemah Boardwalk 

Bold prediction- Ocean 44 opens here. 

The Heights-based restaurant group will begin the roll out of its three EaDo concepts — Vinny’s, Miss Carousel, and Indianola — sometime this month (in that order)

A few months ago a friend, who works at Equinox, and another friend, who works at Stream Realty, both told me that Equinox will be opening their second Houston location here. That should be an indication of the quality of retail they’re seeking and that this project is definitely moving forward. 

You can in fact, see the Equinox signage on the second floor of the retail building. 

I can almost guarantee that the "lifestyle center" apart of Phase I will be Equinox. 

Address is 211 West Loop South

3 story 39,660 SF of retail/parking

Same.

Depends on who you ask. Its easier to say what its not- River Oaks, Afton Oaks, Royden Oaks, Oak Estates, or Lynn Park. 

Some in real estate refer to it as "Briar Hollow" or Highland Village. 

Most people will refer to it as River Oaks or Uptown. Despite all of the River Oaks branding, as a resident I prefer to refer to it as Uptown. 

Renderings for renovations on the corner of Amherst and Kelvin, where Talbots used to be. These are NOT the renovations mentioned in the HBJ article.

AGREED!

Couldn’t disagree more

1) there isn’t THAT much cohesiveness from 610 to the train tracks, or beyond HV for that matter. The only thing cohesive about is all is that there’s dining/shopping along the north side of westheimer. 

2) there’s still going to be ground floor retail

3) this board always complains about underutilized plots and not building tall enough, this does both

4) ROD, HV and even uptown park are struggling to bring in tenants, which is probably why the previous proposal got axed. Plus they still have the east green space for future development.

5) this will look less out of place with Equinox Hotel, ROD phase 2 and further development along west creek.

So this 15 story office building is replacing this "phase III" proposal then?

Correct.

Slightly confused.  The referring of the shopping center are no way off?

Updated leasing brochure. Entire first floor has been leased to a medical office, so the streetside renderings of diners was for naught. 

Century City/Westwood probably has Uptown beat. 

There will always be a few a-holes that will ruin it for the rest of us but all-in-all people are pretty responsible and considerate. The benefits outweigh the small nuisances.

I'm not too concerned with their being over-saturation. Finn Hall and Conservatory are more casual options, while Bravery and especially Lyric Market, appear to be going for the more upscale experience. There's plenty going on downtown these days to support them all, and I think that Lyric and Bravery will draw people in town.
