    Jensen is being resurfaced from Clinton to Navigation. I spoke to the construction crew which said that all they are working on is resurfacing and that they are unaware of any plans to turn the Navigation/Jensen/Runnels intersection into a roundabout. However, there were COH and EEMD supervisors with the crew. I wasn't able to talk to them as they were all on the phone. I had recently seen survey crews on site with markers placed at the intersection. Hopefully they are working on both at the same time...

    Absolutely lovely. I can't wait to see this in person.

    100% agree. Completely shocked me. Way better than Corky's. I'll hold my congratulations until I try the morning coffee and beignets, but so far so good.

    Excellent!

    I guess the plan is for restaurant space on both sides of the building.

    Signage up.

    The website boasts "18,000 SF of retail space for a restaurant and café. On-site amenities will include a rooftop pool, fitness center, yoga studio, resident coworking space, and a sky lounge with views of Downtown Houston." I suppose it's possible that the 18,000sqft are split by both street faces. Also, I noted that the former Alamo Tamales building now has "Live at Forth" drawings all over.

    Siding work has begun.

    Ah, I saw the surveyors too, just didn't manage to ask what they were surveying. Thanks for letting us know!

    Not since May, 2019. The RFQ went out in May. https://www.eastenddistrict.com/wp-content/uploads/Navigation-Roundabout-RFQ.pdf EEMD says this about it: In September of 2018, the East End District entered into an advanced funding agreement with TxDOT that consists of the engineering and reconstruction of the intersection at Navigation Boulevard, Jensen Drive, and Runnels Street to include an urban roundabout, pedestrian elements, streetscape and bus stop improvements. Additionally, the District hopes to include a public art installation on the roundabout and funding has been secured for public engagement related to this installation. Public engagement and design are forthcoming. No funding source for public art on the roundabout has been identified at this time.

    Ah, my bad. I couldn't remember which Memorial Park/Buffalo Bayou thread had the bike path discussion. Delete if y'all want.

    "Forth at Navigation" banners and signage up at the property. Will try to take pics when it's not dark AF.

    It's been a while since we talked about the hike and bike trails, but...the fence on the west side of Jensen is now open. Looks like the new bike route through clayton homes to the downtown trailheads and out to the East End is open.

    Seconded. I agree with @I'm Not a Robot that it may be a nod to "Navigation," but I don't know. What really grinds my gears however, is the fact that it is also Marquette's fourth property (Catalyst Chicago, Catalyst Houston, The Mason (Chicago), and the "Forth").

    "Major Brand" Gas could also be Major Brand Gas:

    To be fair, HAIF's entire Venezuelan contingency will likely back you up.

    Much better than I had expected.

    Absolute bummer that they won't just play Moonstruck on repeat. It will be interesting to see how it competes with Space City Shows just around the corner.

    Looks like there is a drive-in screen set up. If Midway can do it at East River, why not here? (Forgive the terrible night time, in car photography)

    It seems to be Marquette's Houston MO (not that I'm complaining). Catalyst in an area of DT without many residents, 2404 Navigation, the possibly cancelled, possibly ongoing plan to build a luxury high rise off Jensen, and now this. Take advantage of Opportunity Zone funds and TIRZ funds and build bb build. Not a bad plan.

    After which they will likely move back over towards EaDo/East End.

    Per Buffalo Bayou Partnership FB page, it is a drive-in theatre: Theatre website: https://www.moonstruckdrivein.com/

    Walked by today and noticed that the Canal St. facing GFR looks to have one of the orange COH Inspection stickers on it. Will try to pop over there after the workers are gone to see if it is in anyone other than Marquette's name. Also, if I recall Marquette bought the building housing Alamo Tamales back in late November as part of Phase 2 of this project. Alamo now has a new all-black paint job on the wooden portion of the building and new utilities boxes up front. Some form of remodel is underway. Update: they aren't COH inspection stickers. Just very similar looking bills.

    Anyone else amazed by the lack of cars in that shot?

    Interesting...Gin Design is going big in Eado/East End.
