    This is looking good!

    I kept pasting the link and it didn't show anything so I did it again, until it showed up, and now somehow it's 4. Weird. Fixed.

    It's across the street from the parking lot that this thread is talking about. I think it's the lot that used to have the "Binz Med Corp" sign on it, which was never developed. I drove by last weekend and noticed a fence is now up around the lot.

    Topics merged! This is awesome. I'm really looking forward to another alternative to the mainstream movie theaters, and I'll be very happy to have a theater I can walk/bike/rail to. Midtown is really rocking lately!

    Agreed. First mixed use building in the village with both housing and retail, right?

    I wish we could see the drawings. A 27 foot set back on that part of Montrose sounds bad, even if it does have a garden in front. If it has outdoor seating its not as bad though I guess. I like the fact that there will be bike racks, but PLEASE NO CAR PARKING IN FRONT!

    Sounds great. Let me know if they start to move some dirt and I'll move this thread in "going up".

    I took this on the weekend.

    Here's a better picture I found online.

    I find Berry Hill's fish taco quality has gone downhill at the Montrose location, but it's still good at the (original?) Westheimer (still in Montrose) location.

    Yep. I have a nice view on my roof from the west but I'm kind of bummed I can only see a tiny sliver of MainPlace. Hopefully the net building to go up will make an impact on my view!

    One thing I don't like about the Houston skyline from certain angles is that it doesn't appear very dense. there are a bunch of towers that can be seen from west on Buffalo Bayou but it looks like there is a lot of space between them. So even if a building is in the shadows, I think it only enhances that view, even if it's not the most prominent. I guess Main Place is a bad example though because it can't be seen from that angle. Also I just realized that Chase doesn't look like much from this angle either. Houston Skyline Panorama by J-a-x, on Flickr

    Haha. I didn't see it glow yet. I didn't realize it was just officially open now. I know the building has been open for some time (at least the skybridge and the floor with the cafeteria and Wells Fargo bank).

    This is great to see. I didn't believe it would actually be renovated, I thought the signs were just there to make us feel less bad about the abandoned building, kind of like the stories about the old Days Inn...

    http://swamplot.com/eatsie-boys-taking-over-kraftsmen-cafe-space-in-montrose/2012-03-19/ I'm looking forward to checking out the new brick and mortar Eatsie Boys restaurant. The location is great and I feel like Kraftsmen is a bit boring, so I'm looking forward to the change. Having a new place I can walk to is always nice too.

    The temperature felt fine to me, but I kind of like it a bit warmer inside than the average Houstonian. The tinting on the glass was more than I expected. It would be interesting to know how much it costs to air condition compared to a regular roof.

    I could see workers of many different ethnicities inside.

    I checked the new Apple Store out today and it is pretty awesome. I'm SO glad I didn't have to walk through a mall. The parking wasn't even bad (maybe I got lucky). The glass is pretty heavily tinted so I bet that will help with keeping it cool.

    Looks like it. How close is this to the other "Mix @ Midtown" building? By the way the other "Mix" building seems to be doing really well and it's cool that they are expanding that concept. In my opinion, MIx was built just the way new retail in Midtown should be built. The sidewalks are nice, the entrances are on the sidewalk, and the parking his hidden away. I have actually never used the garage. I either walk there or park on the streets nearby. Anyways, I hope to see more like that in the neighborhood.

    I removed "cancelled?" from the title since the project is now moving forward again.
