  1. I biked down there today and there is definitely some crane action going on. It’s further down from the Alliance development. Looks to be the church property. What could the crane be for though if the church hasn’t even been demo’d yet?
  2. I do too!! And usually close my eyes for good measure! Look ma...no hands !!
  3. Today’s Planning Commission meeting is obviously cancelled due to weather, but can anyone help me understand how the meeting cancellation impacts this proposed project?

  4. The brick building at 4503 Montrose is also historic — built in 1920. Former African Art Center space. This lot needs an art gallery or something. Not a storage facility.
  5. But they’re requesting a variance to build, so it technically doesn’t meet the requirements unless they get an exception. The variance request meeting is scheduled for this Thursday. I plan on joining the call, but am wondering what type of input from nearby property owners actually has an effect on these types of things.
  6. Lol! And Big Tex Storage...”No problem! We’ll build in both!”
  7. What’s the best way for nearby property owners to fight this?
  8. My guess is Urb’s post was made in jest, since it was a reply to my post where I quoted something he posted 6 years ago. Don’t leave us hanging Urb ! 🤮
  9. I own in this pocket, so it’ll be exciting to see if it’ll be commercial residential or commercial office. Would love to see it be something that’ll benefit the neighborhood.
  10. Gotcha. The lot is still listed for sale on the MLS for $5.3m, so it sounds like the current owner is looking to get the variance request in order to make the lot more attractive to developers.
  11. So does there request basically mean they want to build closer to the highway than is allowed?
  12. What exactly do you think this means? Just spotted the sign today.
  13. My guess is the next spot in this pocket to densify is the vacant 35,000 square ft lot just across the highway at 4503 Montrose. Since the office building plan for that lot never panned out about 7 years ago, my guess it will be residential with GFR.
  14. Hah that was me that asked that...just can’t remember where I initially heard it.
  15. I vaguely remember reading something about that too, but couldn’t find anything. Do you have a link?
  16. I don’t necessarily think it’ll be another Kroger (or grocery store) on the ground floor. Wouldn’t surprise me if it were a gym chain though. Other than Timberline (which is quite small) further south near the spur, there really isn’t another large gym closer than the 24 Hour Fitness in Midtown or that LA Fitness on Yale. I think another Equinox gym would make perfect sense in this spot. Their River Oaks District location is quite a hike from a Montrose, especially during rush hour. They could draw a solid customer base willing to pay $180/month from not only Montrose, but the Heights, Rice Military, Museum District, and Boulevard Oaks as well.
