    overrated. high end chain with mediocre food. locations are placed where the demographics are great and people with limited palettes flock. how many "special occasions" have i had to suffer through at brio tuscan grille. olive garden would be as satisfying, cheaper, and a quicker get away. even more insulting than the food and two hour (excruciating) dining experiences are the faux chic interiors and pretentious youngsters acting as if it's a five star restaurant. on every occasion (too many to count).....inconsistent service, cold food and long waits for refills and corrected orders. i do not understand why so many people like it.

    for what it's worth: 05.03.2012 Txdot publishes grand parkway request for proposals on segments F1, f2 and g A final Request for proposals for Segments F1, F2, and G were published by TxDOT on May 3, 2012. Five teams have been shortlisted on the design/build project. Timeline for Segments F1, F2, and G Proposals are due August, 2012 Conditional Contract Award is set for September, 2012 A TxDOT Bond Sale is scheduled for October, 2012 Contract signing is scheduled for December, 2012 Construction begins January, 2012 Open to traffic July, 2015 Request for Proposals (docs and many links to more info): http://www.gpprocure....com/gprfp.aspx Toll Configuration (traffic and revenue): http://www.gpprocure...e132803033.aspx things will get worse before whatever relief grand parkway will provide is on line. ditto jesse's sentiment that many will not be new to the area/perhaps already here; however, the area is growing substantially without exxon mobil. the traffic will not be pretty. (thanks to the poster who posted the above information in the grand parkway thread! i thought it relevant here too.)

    http://www.chron.com/neighborhood/woodlands-news/article/Segments-of-Grand-Parkway-are-taking-shape-3489126.php the exxon campus will come online slowly. the grand parkway segments that will relieve congestion should be well on their way by the time exxon mobil is fully operational. the connection from holzworth to grogan's mill requires a bridge over spring creek.

    my thoughts exactly. hines has projects going on simultaneously around the world. one project will not hinder the other. each will progress (or not) independently.

    next phase of the millennium apartment complex to break ground in the next 60-90 days. http://impactnews.com/articles/urban-living-in-town-center waterway cruiser ridership is up. http://www.woodlandsonline.com/newsarchives/archivedetails.cfm?id=47241 ................all of this is happening so quickly. is town center gridlock in our future? it's time to "time" the lights and widen grogan's mill and six pines.

    ...............sarnoff reported in january that it's 12 stories. "The Talisman lease is split between two buildings, a 68,000-square-foot property that was recently completed, and a 12-story, 300,000-square-foot tower that will break ground this year. Both buildings have been designed to attain certain levels of LEED certification by ZC+O, a collaboration between Ziegler Cooper Architects and Odell Associates." i thought that crane was kinda tall.

    a real theme park, away from hundreds of homes in established neighborhoods, with a decent concept wouldn't bother me so much. focusing on "texas" themes? for god's sake. i grew up in texas and we are texas themed to death. the rodeo, rodeo/fairs, country music, cows, trains, oil........all old news and super boring. i dread the future promotion of such a place included in the woodlands marketing materials! ".......and nearby grand texas theme park". oh my. put it in pearland or pasadena please.......or even galveston (love you galveston, but you're a tourist town). why tear down forested areas for a theme park when there are tens of thousands of empty, cheaper acres elsewhere.

    i was thinking the same thing. the pine trees are six to eight stories high; however, the cranes are usually substantially taller than the structure. the height of the cranes may be of little consequence....unfortunately.
  16. bachanon
    maybe we can keep it out of as many discussions of the woodlands as possible....oops, now i've done it again. i'd just as soon move it to "going up" or accidentally just move it to a sugarland thread. heh heh......

    crane is up!
  20. bachanon
    crane is up for the next building. it's taller than the pine trees. definitely multi-story...........on second look, it's way taller than the pine trees, must be at least eight (per info above).

    saks at the galleria is in the former marshall field's location, designed by philip johnson.
