    ^ Quite a loony post to make in response to a historic YouTube video. I don't get why every single little thing needs to be politicized to pieces these days, ridiculous to say the least.

    So what you're saying is that without the government stepping in, those lots aren't going to be developed anytime soon.

    I know it's probably just a fantasy, but I would love to see the 3 surface parking lots northeast of Root Square (Rockets Lot, Dallas Lot, and MIPS Lot) developed into a park that connected to Discovery Green. I know another garage would need to be built somewhere else, but it would allow for a more connected and livable downtown, especially if more residential projects popped up around it.

    Is this the development? Swamplot posted an article saying the site is to be redeveloped: http://swamplot.com/east-downtowns-houston-post-building-now-airing-out-in-preparation-for-whats-next/2018-06-06/ Edit: This isn't for Regalia, this is actually for a development in Eado. My bad.
  6. CaptainJilliams
    Yes, 100% agree. Creating those connections makes the area even more desirable to live in. I love both Memorial and BBP, and ultimately I'd love to see those parks connect Uptown, River Oaks, and Downtown through continuous walking/biking paths.

    So what is happening with the building in question? Maybe I missed something, but it sounds like the work going on now is for something different from The Regalia.

    Whenever I read anything on GreenStreet, it always seems like they have a hard time holding onto tenants for a significant amount of time. What's the reason? Poor location? Lack of demand?

    A signature park in the Galleria area would be fantastic, and agreed on the location.
  10. CaptainJilliams
    @H-Town Man Yeah, it's pretty similar to The Independent. A little less jenga-like and it may even end up being taller than it. I'm not complaining, it would be incredible to get this kind of development at that location.

    Any word on if that plot of land next to Robbins Brothers is going to be utilized for some kind of development in the near future?

    I wasn't sure which thread this would fit best under, but a fantastic video by Kevin Purjurer on the history of Astroworld. Check it out below:

    It's becoming increasingly frustrating with every new press release that says "starting soon" or "ramping up" with this project. I'll I can ask is when exactly? This land is just screaming to be filled in with some kind of project, but year after year it just sits there with little or no activity. I want to have hope that this someday comes to fruition, but it just seems like it will be later rather than sooner.

    jgriff is sounding eerily similar to Bill Murray in Ghostbusters... (For the record, I do believe diversification is key to Houston's future, but I don't think we need to panic that much quite yet.)

    Finally took some pictures yesterday. Quite a few vehicles on-site. I'm not sure if anything is being immediately developed on the site, but it's nice to see the dingy building come down.

    About 2 weeks ago, I noticed fencing had gone up around the Shell station near the corner of N Durham Drive and N Loop West. Within a few days, equipment had been brought to the site and the station was demolished. I haven't had the chance to take any pictures of the activity, but they have removed almost all of the building above ground and are now working on removing the remaining structure underground. Does anyone know if there is a project scheduled to go up on this site? (If this topic has been touched upon in another thread, it would be great if someone could link it here.) Here is the site: https://goo.gl/maps/iCPmBW81wcq.
