No real updates. As reported by Chron in November, it is set to break ground in second quarter of 2020, with a two-year construction time line.

Apologies if this has already been posted.
The architect firm (Powers Brown) behind many of Randall Davis' projects has had the following renderings on its website since 2015 for a mixed-use project at 800 Post Oak.

Look at how many developments that aren't even in River oaks call themselves River Oaks.
River Oaks district, the RO, River Oaks Chrysler which is on Kirby south of 59.
Right, but that's a slightly different topic. I won't further derail this one.

I get it, it's like referring to the entire area in Santa Ana / Costa Mesa around South Cost Plaza as "South Coast". My specific peeve is when people say something like "I'm in the galleria" or "I live in the galleria" when they mean the area not the mall. But i'm just weird like that.

How is this project considered close to the Galleria?
It's not. The article is a piece on the office project on San Felipe between Arabella and Target. Only the bolded tidbit is in reference to The Allen.
In any case, a pet-peeve of mine is when people to refer to Uptown as "The Galleria" (not that you did). The Galleria is a mall, not a district, much less one that extends to the other side of 610.

Anyone been to that new BBQ place across from the washington HEB? Saw there was a line out the door this weekend I might check it out. I'm not super into BBQ, but the spot looked interesting. Good location at least.
Exceptional BBQ. It’s the second outpost from its start out in Brenham. I’ve been to both and the Houston location is every bit as good. Truth has been on Texas Monthly’s list for years now and IMO is the best in Houston (haven’t been to corkscrew or Killen’s, which I don’t consider to be Houston).

Don't fault @gene he's going off of outdated information that others found necessary to repost.

Outdoor Voices, an Austin-based active-wear/recrational brand will open its Houston outpost in Height Mercantile. A job fair posting indicates it'll be open in December.

Lol y'all crazy. There ain't no way, no how these metro people gonna find the money to ED new builds in that area. They shoulda done all this before the houses were built. They'll find a different, cheaper way.
They always do.
Not any different than going through the residential area in Cottage Grove.

sell *before* his property increases in value due to proximity to transit?
Depends on how proximate his property is. It may soon be metro's property.

Huh? I literally live on Hickory and follow all of this closely. I do not believe Triton's drawing actually ties to any reality or anything? I think he's just drawing a cute/easy line from I10 to Downtown for the BRT, but my understanding is the BRT will just take existing highways/HOVs to downtown, absolutely nothing has suggested they will be going to Houston Ave or some imaginary/absurdist line next to Hickory street.
Might be time to sell before the rest of the market figures out it's not just a cute line.

The plans for the court complex land have not been finalized. There is a good chance the court will not be here when the land is redeveloped. If it does stay, the thought is that it will be re-positioned to face Washington Ave where the current police garage is. With that, and the positioning of the LR station, it makes most sense to go due west up Reisner...
I believe the city wants to recreate a street grid here for mix-use.
Good point. I remembered there being some discussions on revamping the city court. A lot of newly constructed town homes along hickory are going to be subject to eminent domain

The plan quietly includes the green/purple line extending west to the Courthouse. The lines were already built so that the trains go under i45 and then just sit there to move back to the other side of the track, so the amount of track needed to be built is literally 2-3 blocks.
So far there haven't been any meetings or documents showing where the courthouse stop will be. hopefully it'll go up along Lubbock street to be closer for 1st ward/6th ward residents.
Based on Triton's post above (https://h-gac.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=5f2a62060d074a5d8c3f00a40bb6b3b2) my guess is that it'll likely connect to the BRT termination, which looks to be behind the courthouse along the city owned land. So at least to Lubbock would be my guess.

No worries those are all shit stores. Other shit stores will take their business.

It still is, more than a month later.
With the developers' eye for detail, I'm astonished that such an conspicuous maintenance issue has not been addressed.Those lights aren’t readily available. They have to be special ordered.

After much delay, they did not disappoint on the interior.

I can vouch that Mendocino Farms is really good. Really excited they’ve expanded to Houston.

Check the top left panels of the garage. Looks like they're testing out different window film. Also, the renderings indicate there will be film.
