ya none of those can compete with the stranglehold HEB has in Houston.... and that's not a complaint. WF and CM are great when you want to splurge but for day to day shopping the hybrid HEB's that populate Houston are second-to-none. TJ's is great bc its so damn cheap but still not a great everyday grocer IMO since they lack so many items. luckily i can walk to HEB, TJ's and WF from my house.

crazy to think that all of Houston has one sole CM. i've always wondered why they never built more - the one here has been continuously slammed for 10 years.

it sounds like this development will have a hotel but allen center (ie Brookfield) is also under contract to buy the doubletree. it will undergo a massive renovation/rebranding to a more high end, boutique concept.

what part of long term, multi-phase development do you not understand? or preliminary stage? or anything else in that entire article? move along.

they're saying the right things with regards to how it should be developed - historical focus, multi-staged development, mixed income, focus on the bayou. i'd love to finally see something truly innovative for houston on this site. we don't need any highrises here, or at least no more than one or two, and if they do choose that route they better not be beige stucco boxes - they need character. drawing inspiration from dumbo and the meatpacking district is promising. also didn't know harrison stayed on board but that makes sense... he would've lost money on an outright sale and his plan was always long term. here's hoping for the best. midway was a real opportunity to develop a transformative project here.

Annunciation Orthodox School And Church At 3600 Yoakum Blvd.
swtsig replied to Urbannizer's topic in Holy Places
ya i don't know what that comment is supposed to mean but i dig the church. Houston is severely lacking in grand, historic looking churches and while this is grand on the scale of st. mark's on woodway it's a good looking church. -

I think $500m might be a little on the low side for what's shown but probably not too far off. i'm not privy to a lot of estimating but ground up construction for class A+ office is probably in the $500/rsf vicinity, condo/mf maybe $200-$250/sf (not as certain) - excluding land costs. I think you could definitely get 2 high rise residential and a 10-12 story office for $500m, a 4th tower is probably stretching it.

true but this isn't even on a major thoroughfare so what difference does it make? this is literally plopped down in the middle of a residential area - it's not like there was a great deal of pedestrian activity although losing the neat businesses there is somewhat of a loss. had this been on westheimer i would feel differently but it isn't. edit: this block was actually under contract to the morgan group a few years back but they backed out.

Annunciation Orthodox School And Church At 3600 Yoakum Blvd.

love this redesign significantly more than the original renders. between this, 3400, and the colombe d'or redevelopment this stretch of yoakum/montrose will have a different feel in a few years. -

swtsig replied to TreaderCRC's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
always err on the side of caution amigo... if someone wanted to figure it out they probably could. tanglewoods is right, many of these projects have NDAs attached to them.
