    One more thing, check out the leasing plan (.pdf) for a detailed listing of stores some have not been mentioned, like Disney, Sephora, and other restaurants.

    Looks like CBL updated their website with a new page, new site plan, etc. That building on the east side of the PTC is a Red Lobster. See the link and enjoy: http://www.cbldevelopment.com/pearland/

    Denny's is already coming to the Shadow Creek Town Center, so one wish granted.

    Nice!! Well it has fallen short of its designated purpose!!
  5. rajuncajun
    Hate to be the bearer of reality, but what is the purpose of this thread?
  6. rajuncajun
    I think that the two of you are talking about two different types of housing. You, HBCU, are talking about tax credit mulit-family apartments (which I don't think Pearland will allow on the westside b/c of zoning and the process to change it) and the other poster is talking about those "affordable" single family homes that say KB Homes is building North of Beltway-8 (near the City Park area). Either way I personally don't see either of those types of dwelling being developed in the Shadow Creek (i.e. westside) area. This master planned community will stick to its master plan. Again, the key to these types of developments from not happening in Pearland is zoning. Shadow Creek/ST are the only parcels zoned for single or multi family dwellings between Beltway 8 and 518, 288 and Almeda. Everything else is commercial type zoning. In order for someone to build anything different they have to seek a variance request to change the zoning. That's where it will get hung up or else they won't issue a permit.

    Not everybody goes as high as 40% - 60%, but even 26% (odd number to guess BTW) is over twice the reality. Still interesting.

    Looks like the TC will open on July 30th as planned, but with a partial list of retailers. CBL Announces Start of 100 Day Countdown to the Grand Celebration for Pearland Town Center in Houston (Pearland), TX News Date: 04/21/2008 10:14:31 AM http://www.cblproperties.com/cbl.nsf/Front...TX?opendocument

    Interesting to say the least. I have noticed a plethora of all races in and around Shadow Creek. I can't say with certainty that there are more of any one race than the other. I do feel that some people get turned off if they see even one black family lurking around. What can you do? Clearly the "powers that be" don't mind investing in the Shadow Creek area, so it must be more than skin color that drives business decisions. On a side note I've asked a few of my Caucasion brothers what the population of Af. Am. is in this country. I get answers like 50%, 40%, 60%. The reality is that we are less than 12% of the US population. Why do you think that they were so far off? The answer might give you insight into why some people see "the brothas" and think "there goes the neighborhood".

    Can you elaborate further on the "diversity"? Surprised good or surprised bad. Good meaning: they thought it was all one particular demographic and then they saw more of what they didn't expect. Bad meaning: they thought it was all one particular demographic and then they saw more of what they didn't expect. Fill in the blanks as necessary.

    I think that you may have confused the construction of the Kroger Marketplace with the Waterlights. There is no movement on the Waterlights parcel as of yet.

    FYI...... CBL ANNOUNCES RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT FOR PEARLAND TOWN CENTER IN HOUSTON (PEARLAND), TX 250 Luxury Residential Units to be Developed at Pearland Town Center http://www.cblproperties.com/cbl.nsf/Recen...+C?opendocument They mention something about a dining tenant called "Cork Wine Bar" anyone heard of them???? Anyway sounds nice.

    "The hordes have descended upon it." Is that a good or bad thing?

    Gringo's will be located at the Pearland Town Center....By the end of the summer there will be a slew of new eating options west of 288 (Not to diminish the eateries just east of 288). Once they build the gym in the Shadow Creek TC it will be hard for me to go on the east side of 288. I live in Shadow Creek.

    If my memory serves me correctly, this is going up in that Crosswell Greenwood development b/n Sonic and Buccees. See the link, I THINK it is tract 13. http://www.crossgreen.com/pdf/scrvmtflyer.pdf
  16. rajuncajun
    The name of that development is "The Parks at Boulder Creek". It will contain multi-family units in addition to single family. Take some time to peruse the attachments on their website: http://www.maverickgrouponline.com/commercial.html If it all comes together, it should be a nice development.

    Cabo's was the absolute WORST!! The thing about Pearland that I do like is if your business is subpar, people will let you know with their feet. You have to "bring it"to make it out here. Anyway, the new grill/bar is Norton's Grill and Pub. http://nortonsgrillandpub.com/ I don't know anything about them. Also, where the Buffalo Wild Wings use to be there is a business call Wild Geese Tavern opening soon. I peeped in their window and the improvements seem to be a step up as they have a lot of dark hardwood on everything.
  18. rajuncajun
    Yes there will be feeder roads on both sides of 288 between 518 and FM2234. Also this proposed development has a website: http://thereserveatscr.com/

    I noticed that a few weeks ago. I came across this article from the Memphis Business Journal, dated October 26, 2007. They mention the Spectrum property in the article: Another development, which is pending public funding, sits on 120 acres, the largest parcel Poag & McEwen has ever developed. Located just outside Houston, the Promenade Shops at the Spectrum is a mixed-use development that will potentially include office, residential, retail and hospitality, says president Terry McEwen. Poag says the company has partnered with other experts on this project, including Indianapolis-based Kosene & Kosene on the residential front. "We quickly realized we knew nothing about residential," he says. Architect Frank Ricks, principal of Looney Ricks Kiss, is working with Poag & McEwen on a couple of developments. He says mixed-use projects are gaining popularity in the U.S. Traditionally, Americans have lived, shopped and worked in distinct, separate areas. "It's taken a few decades, but users now are attracted to mixed-use environments," Ricks says. Full aricle: http://65.213.146.1/memphis/stories/2007/1...y11.html?page=1 All in all it seems like the remaining portion of the property is still the "what do we do we this?" stage of development.

    FYI, if you want info on the Senior Living Facility next to the hotel. http://cantexsc.com/centers/colonnades.php
  21. rajuncajun
    As an FYI, the townhomes are in the process of being built on FM 2234 (Shadow Creek Pkwy) between Reflection Bay and Kirby. The infrastructure is being installed as we email. Any viable community needs apartments to sustain itself/grow. There are a number of jobs in the local community that are "entry" level positions and the people filling those positions will be looking to rent until they save enough to purchase a home.

    Park 288 - An industrial park. Do a google search.
  23. rajuncajun
    If this development looks anything close to what the rendering looks like this will put this area on the map. Quite ambitious IMO.
  24. rajuncajun
    518 is open. It goes to one lane each way a little bit past Kirby.
  25. rajuncajun
    Looks like it opened last night. So, when will we find out about what other retailers/venues will occupy the Promenade Shops. Please post comments/opinions of the store after you get a chance to visit.
