The Allen: Mixed-Use Development At Allen Parkway & Gillette St.
CaptainJilliams replied to jmontrose's topic in Going Up!
This project has become very prominent, and the main tower hasn't even reached ground level! Whenever I'm on Memorial Drive headed to Buffalo Bayou Park, you can see 3-4 story building already going up very easily. It'll be a sight for sure once the main tower goes up, it will significantly alter the view looking towards downtown.- 1,657 replies

Memorial Park At 6501 Memorial Dr.
CaptainJilliams replied to themidtownguy's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
I can also confirm what @Triton has seen. They've also placed a fence around the perimeter that has renderings of the land bridges all over it. I don't have a PDF, but I found this link to the Memorial Park Conservancy that has some FAQs and a detailed description of the plan: https://www.memorialparkconservancy.org/discover/master-plan/land-bridge-prairie-restoration-project/ Not sure if this helps! -

Memorial Park At 6501 Memorial Dr.
CaptainJilliams replied to themidtownguy's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
From a few days ago, it looks like they will be breaking ground soon on the land bridge! New render I also have not seen yet.- 635 replies

Memorial Park At 6501 Memorial Dr.
CaptainJilliams replied to themidtownguy's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
Yeah, finally went last night myself and walked in this area. The boardwalk in the wooded area is rather narrow, so I think these little stubs allow people to either take a break or step out of the main path so traffic can flow through. -

I"m hoping to swing by tonight! I've tried going the past 2 weekends to see if it was open with no success. Kind of wish they had set a more definitive opening date, but I guess given the virus they didn't want people swarming the place all at once! -
Bottled Blonde At 4901 Washington Ave.
CaptainJilliams replied to CaptainJilliams's topic in The Heights
I feel like with this whole COVID thing going on, outdoor eating options are going to increase across the board. -
If we did, it would include a "s" 😉 Jokes aside, no, it's really exciting to see how the neighborhood is going vertical.

Shepherd Dr. And Durham Dr. Reconstruction
CaptainJilliams replied to j_cuevas713's topic in Traffic and Transportation
Shepherd and Durham are up there with Richmond as the top roads that need to be repaired/reconstructed in my mind. With all the development exploding along Shepherd, repairing the roads and adding bike lanes would be huge. -

Looks like it will be a pretty "instagrammable" place once everything is all done. Hoping it's a success!- 1,574 replies

If it's attached to slavery in any way, it seems like it's only a matter of time. I wouldn't be surprised if they start a discussion to rename the college as well.

The Galleria Mall At 5085 Westheimer Rd.
CaptainJilliams replied to TreaderCRC's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
I would assume so, at least this iteration of it. If the hotel does end up happening, I'd venture to guess it will be half as tall and won't look nearly as good. I think COVID has set the industry back. -

That was the assumption in my mind as well.

Looks great, but to change the subject briefly, gas is back up to $2.40 near River Oaks? I'm up in Jersey Village and it's still only $1.70 - $1.80 tops. The more I think about it, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
