  1. Breaking News: THIS IS HAPPENING! On my way home tonight (I like to drive with the windows down) and upon getting to the 45/toll road interchange, the strongest odor of pine you can imagine hit me like a wall. I looked to my left and saw that thousands of trees have been cleared to the left of the freeway and you could see dust and dirt being moved around by heavy equipment. Now they left a wall of trees up along the frwy, but you can clearly see a massive area being cleared out. I think we are underway.

    springwoods is underway..........other studies are underway for the exxon site connected to springwoods. i do not think the tree removal is for the exxon site specifically.

  2. I couldn't have said it better myself. I don't know when people are going to realize that The Woodlands is NOT that far out and that it IS a nice place to live and there is a LOT to offer here. I see jealousy written all over some of these posts. Bachanon, what is Waterway 2 and how many floors/sq. ft is it? Where will it's location be?

    2 waterway is next door to 4 waterway and at the corner of woodloch forest and lake robbins. i think it is planned to be under 10 stories. it will have retail at street level.

  3. i think what they mean is that the architecture is plain. it's clean, sleek, but nothing new, certainly nothing too interesting.

    that being said, it is cool to think that the woodlands "skyline" is growing outside of town center. the simcity player in me is already connecting the commercially zoned areas between town center, shenandoah and the research forest. the crane at aon/hewitt (research forest) is not too far from memorial hermann's crane for new six or seven story building (shenandoah). a crane recently came down at the luxury senior community on the waterway (town center/eastshore) and a crane at 2 waterway square may be in the works (town center/waterway square). to see three cranes up in such a small area is exciting.

    even though the architecture leaves much to be desired, it's fun to watch it be constructed.

    did i just hyperventilate?

  4. Well if you're going to build suburbs, might as well do it right. This project looks great, and I'm happy about the parks & paths. We'll see how the bridges turn out in the end. I'm hoping they'll keep a lot of trees. Every time a new development clears those tall pines, It hurt's a little on the inside. Go Spring!

    yes!.........and the connection to the spring creek greenway project is an added bonus. http://www.springcreekgreenway.org/Spring%20Creek%20Greenway%20Gateway%20Parks%20Map%20-%20March%202009.pdf

    the nature preserve at springwoods is connected to a 12000 acre preservation/recreation greenbelt between tomball and kingwood.

  5. .........little bird has been busy lately. the woodlands continues to attract big name retailers. big spenders who are "not from around these parts" must be spending freely. following tiffany & co, market street is rumored to be getting a "bb" and the woodlands mall may yet land a "nm".

    it's hard to believe there are still houses for sale under $130K in walking distance.

    oh, and the luxury senior living facility facade..........brick. boooooooo!
