Christus Health bought the entire block in December.

Any idea what Christus Health is going to do on that block?

I can't believe they're tearing down that building. It's not a very old building. I wonder what's going in there... anyone know? It was for sale for a while... guess it sold?

Yes, it is getting overbuilt, at least in terms of townhomes. I'm afraid it's going to be another townhome ghetto. 30 townhomes seems like way too many for that block.

What exactly is a "townhome ghetto"? Where can I find one?

Its going to be 30 townhomes by Waterhill priced in the low to mid 300's.

(im speaking to the shoe warehouse).

Cool how did you find that out?

Any movement on the Octerbeck building on the adjacent? That place looks terrible.

That building is now a self-storage place called Neartown Mini Storage. I have no idea why it's called Neartown since it's in Midtown but it's better than a vacant building. That block has really been cleaned up.

Yeah the whole block looks so much better with that building gone. We'll see what happens with the land. Is there some City of Houston website that might list permits or applications for the land?

They are finally starting to tear down the old shoe warehouse building on the corner of Jackson/McGowen/Chenevert. Does anyone know what's going in there? There was a rumor a long time ago about a mid-rise going in there.

Oh ok... I thought the sign said "Roof" but maybe it said "Reef." Seafood restaurant in Midtown? Hmm....will be interesting to see how that does.

Anyone know what's going in on McGowen and Travis where the noodle shop used to be? The sign says The Roof.... is that whole corner going to be one huge club? That's a prime location if the Camden SuperBlock gets developed.

I just noticed the signs. They could have been there all along except they weren't faded so I thought they were new.

I had not seen the signs before... not sure how long they've been there. I wonder if they're going to start building anytime soon.

I saw signs up by the SuperBlock on Main and McGowen...it looks like they're going to start building residential and retail. I wonder what's going in there. Anyone have more info on the SuperBlock?
