  1. Technically the website is “not up” and has been that way for years. If you go to the home page http://www.grandtexas.net/ you are not allowed access to the site. They are not smart enough to know that search engines easily jump the barrier.

     

    Look at the location: “As part of the development process, Grand Texas has determined three different desired sites. Two are in Montgomery County, while the other is in Fort Bend County. We can assure you, this information will be provided as soon as readily available.”

  2. From Your Houston News. More signs of motion, but not necessarily progress.

    "The design and artistic license for the park is now in control of Contour Entertainment who recently drafted a letter of intent with the East Montgomery County Improvement District in order to forge ahead with their plans for development."

  3. I wouldn't completely rule out an HQ move, though it is unlikely. A new shiny corporate campus, with an entire master-planned community (and VERY nice one at that) built right behind it? That may entice a move from Irving, where there are hardly any Exxon employees compared to Houston.

    Yes but the Irving employees are mostly top management, and the rank & file here would be very uncomfortable with them looking over their shoulders. Lots of political implications.

  4. ExxonMobil should make a formal announcement early next year on their plans for the campus. At this time they have not finalized exactly what branches will close and move to the Spring location. Likely they will not move the present Dallas and Houston offices

  5. This has not got off the ground, right?

    A few months ago I took a ride down Matthews Lane and was curious about the extensive gate and brick fencing on the north side. Click for a Google Street View

    http://maps.google.c...419+Tory+Ann+Dr,+Magnolia,+Montgomery,+Texas+77354&ll=30.166445,-95.594401&spn=0,0.019784&z=16&layer=c&cbll=30.166465,-95.595523&panoid=49-1s3AUgjg5JOx0W08pvg&cbp=12,1.79,,0,5

    I talked to a local resident about the property and he reported it was previously owned by an eccentric millionaire who passed before he could build his mansion. The property was then purchased by The Woodlands and they are currently leasing it as pasture land until they have a need to develop it.

  6. when will RF get extended??

    The official report I have heard is Research Forest will be completed when 1488 goes four lanes. TW has a concern that RF will be a bypass for the 1488 traffic.

    Already the Stonebridge Church is having problems with people (like me :blush: ) knowing the gate code and using their access drive as a shortcut between RF and 1488.

  7. I am attempting to restart this thread because the old one was drifting off topic. Please start other threads to discuss trees and dentists.

    Have any other stores committed to this development?

    Will the anchor store be a Target or Super Target?
