Any update on this? Is this why nightshift closed?

Unfortunately, it seems as though Night Shift closed due to a disagreement between ownership and talent that lead to an employee walk-out. 

Wow, almost looks like a completely different building. Impressive what a bit of paint can do.

So long as they never fix all those broken windows, it will remain the Ventana that I knew in my youth.

Could it be for the roundabout? Scissor lift for light poles?

Great point. It's a bit further off from the roundabout. Honestly, until the permit app for the Mill was posted today, I would have expected that lot to be used for staging.

That said, you're probably right.

Looks like they are getting ready to break ground on the multifamily building.  

Excellent! There was a bunch of equipment (cats, scissor lifts, and some other minor equipment) across the street at the old Alamo Tamales place today, I wonder if it is related. Not sure what scissor lifts would be for at this stage, but idk.

Alternatively, maybe Marquette is ready to move forward with their remodel of the rest of the lot in front of Forth.

It's actually entirely out of the flood plain. East End in general and along the bayou has a very small amount of land inside.

Can confirm. The bike trail got Harvey'd, but the land there didn't flood. Didn't make it that far up.

They really did, and I agree. I'd love to see one more on Jensen flanking East River.

Maybe after Phase 2 is completed. I'm still holding out hope that Phase 2 wasn't scrapped.

Sign with realtor info for the GFR was put up today. Looking for two restaurants, it seems.

I moved here in early 2019. Before my purchase, I did some research on developments in the area and stumbled upon this subpage. It's become a bit of a hobby for me to drive around the neighborhood and monitor developments that are mentioned in this page, and to share when I see one that hasn't been noted yet. I've learned so much about permitting, construction and real estate. I feel like I've become an armchair expert. It's such a unique experience to watch a neighborhood develop and transform around you. I've become familiar with your handles. I see you here often. It has been even more enjoyable to share such an experience with you guys, as well. Thanks for continuing to share your finds with me and for never losing hope that an HEB is coming.

Pleasure as well, friend. Let us never give up hope for HEB.

Just down the street from Fitzcarraldo. RIP my liver.

Oh my, to whom should I praise the new Metro stop?

talk about a fabulous upgrade……….wow

Oh wow, that looks great. Metro recently ripped out a bunch of stops along canal/navigation. Hope we get something similar.

I thought they did a perfectly good job with Forth, but generally speaking, yes. I agree with you.

 Or maybe you saw it in the existing thread that was created for Ancorian's Union East mixed use a while back:

https://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/46171-union-east-proposed-retail-office-development-at-mckinney-sampson

That's the one. Thanks!

These plans look vaguely familiar. I don't remember the project, but they look awfully similar to some project that never came to fruition. I want to say it was in the Sampson/York corridor.

Hands down one of the best MF projects we've seen recently. The materials, design, structure.... Marquette crushed this project. Need more.

Agreed. And if they ever move forward with Phase 2 it will be even better.

they definitely need to make more use of the rooftop garden...add a bar and refreshment stand and then have more live music regularly at the little kooky stage they have up on the north east side of the roof! 

I was there last weekend and there were, ice cream, regular drinks, and a bar set up on the rooftop, though they seemed more like temporary things, not permanent shops. Maybe they are moving towards your suggestion because there was live music (well, a DJ, but close enough) there as well.

The teal and brick made me think this was 2301 Commerce for a second. Its even a similar shape.

Agreed. I dig it though.

CBRE listing is up

https://www.cbre.com/properties/properties-for-lease/commercial-space/details/US-SMPL-76546/1701-commerce-purse-building-1701-commerce-street-77002?view=isLetting

I see Red Purse Girl didn't make her way over to this building. Shame given the building's name.

A "for lease" for retail/restaurant popped up a few weeks ago. Interestingly, no Loopnet listing yet.

I wonder if it's related to that water pipe leak that I keep reporting to 311 that leaves a constant river down Navigation, hence Water and Sewer fund.

Eitherway, glad to see "for roundabout construction" in City docs.

Do you think people working on a Home Depot hear the incredibly hype "Home Depot Theme" in their head as they work? I would.

The shopping center is dirty.  Have you taken a real good look? Dumpsters everywhere.  Empty retail where stores used to be.

Agree - the shopping center looks subpar - especially against the River Oaks shopping district down the road.

Did you comment on your own comment?

Was only a matter of time.

I will 100% try to take a photo of this being torn down with the "Optimism Starts With You" mural in the foreground.
