  1. kim son is coming to the corner of lake robbins and six pines. the building housed four failed restaurants so far....maybe kim son can make it work. border's is out at market street? any guesses on who might replace them? crate and barrel maybe?
  2. RIP amy winehouse...so sad

    1. Trae

      Trae

      She should have went to rehab instead of saying no no no, to be honest...

  3. it's finally over!! i hope i never ever ever have to immerse myself in a college level accounting class!

  4. woo hoo! next to the last accounting test done! final exam....tomorrow evening.

  5. "super 8" was super great! ..........polyester has come a long way.

  6. happy 4th haifers!

  7. actually, i was thinking it's about time we had a container store, but yes, it is also about time the circuit city location had some activity. REI would do well in the woodlands too.........i wonder if anyone is trying to lure them here? .....the demographics appear to be on point per REI's website.
  8. i think everyone understands that the woodlands alone would not be the beneficiary of the exxon campus. there are plenty of non-woodlands neighborhoods to the east of i-45 and south and west of the new campus that will continue to build, neighborhoods on riley fuzzel, rayford, spring steubner...... as far as an employer offering "eateries".........compaq employees and bmc employees had plenty of in house eating and catered options..........the people i know/knew still went out to eat in the area. also, it's 4.3 miles from hardy toll road at I-45 to kirby's steakhouse in town center....a five minute ride. sawmill will be extended through the new development giving exxon employees an additional connection to town center via grogan's mill. sawdust road eateries will more likely benefit the most (vietnamese, japanese, greek, cajun, indian, thai, italian, mexican........both variety and proximity).
  9. i don't know......a swiss bank vs. a texas based energy company........to consider the ubs move, or even businesses headquartered (or not) in manhattan, a national trend would be incorrect. what we fail to consider in our discussion on exxon is that the economic climate could change unexpectedly and exxon would never finish the campus. ( just read the chronicle article about the coming "boom" for the woodlands area) how many times have major energy companies started huge construction projects and not completed the "campus", i wonder? i'm excited about this, don't get me wrong, however, it's still early in the game. the game can change drastically in three years.
  10. 3 waterway is a go yucatan taco stand under construction in a portion of the space formerly occupied by sirenuse.
  11. mfah website link/map press release on the mfah website includes the placement of the new building and links to each of the three architectural firms.
  12. happy mother's day mom's. you're the best!

  13. i noticed that too. i've seen "2" waterway elsewhere. the brochure is the first i've seen of "3". 24 waterway avenue is on waterway square with a waterway avenue address, but then 4 waterway square (and 3 or 2 waterway square) is/are on woodloch forest/lake robbins.
  14. topics merged this will mean the construction of 2 waterway square. you can see a partial view of it via the waterway square link above. it's the brochure niche poo pooed....."Since it's in a brochure, it must necessarily mean something."
  15. point taken (lol)....no need to be rude. it's fun. i spoke to a guy from harvey construction while 24 waterway was being completed. i believe u.s.oncology was under construction and asked about future buildings, he mentioned two more buildings next to it. the rendering i saw this morning has two more buildings exactly where the harvey construction guy said they would be. i'm sure he has seen models of the "proposed" buildings or drawings. regardless, it was exciting to make the connection.
  16. waterway square brochure scroll down the brochure and there is a rendering of the waterway square area that gives an idea of the size of 2 (brochure says "3"?) waterway square. unfortunately, shorter than 4 waterway. you can make out two additional buildings to the left of u.s. oncology (lower left hand corner of same rendering).
  17. on the rox sports bar and grill landed in the old marco's location on sawdust....opening soon. while i'm here: northside fiat dealer opening showroom on the first floor of the town center garage, just down from hubbell and hudson. stir crazy, asian cuisine, opening in the old chocolata location. coal burger, under crush and next to/over grimaldi's; la lupita mexican and luca & leonardo italian opening soon. i heard that a new bar concept is opening in the old 24 rio location, also next to hubbell and hudson and a small restaurant (tacos?) to occupy a portion of the vacant sirenuse location (24 waterway). count 'em....seven new retail locations opening by this summer in the area around waterway square. this does not leave much retail space for this area. 2 waterway square coming soon? maybe? .....and the senior living facility....looks much better than i had imagined.
  18. in the recent issue of 002, a rendering (seen earlier in this thread, i think) of a tower for this development was included.....ed wulfe notes...."We are talking to one high rise rental developer about a site on the property. I am also excited about talks with a hotelier about a boutique property as well." 002 article .........this is exactly what niche is talking about.
  19. compare that with this: it appears to be the empty spot, exactly the exxon spot.
