    Got this in an email a while ago, since I was apparently left on the list from Titan...

    Sounds like groundbreaking took place... Also a couple of new renderings. http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/2013/01/trammell-crow-breaks-ground-on-energy-corridor-tower

    Per Bisnow, this one should be starting soon...

    Also looks like they'll be expanding the movie theater to the southwest, to fill in the vacant plot next to the existing building.

    Over the past few years, only a few tenants have moved into the space, but they are generally larger ones. Currently, the center is home to a Just Brakes in the former Auto-Service area, Baskins Western Wear, a chinese buffet and now one of the DPS "Mega Centers" http://www.click2houston.com/news/DPS-opens-new-Mega-Centers/-/1735978/17775598/-/g3b5bgz/-/index.html Aside from this development, back in the mid-to-late 90s, it looked like the movement was to turn the intersection of 59 and 36 into the major retail corridor. For the longest time, there was even a billboard promoting it as the "Fort Bend Crossroads" or something similar. Then again, this is when the Super K & all of the pad sites were open... well before the Reading Road intersection began to develop the way it has.

    The Chronicle just ran piece on the development - naturally it's behind a paywall. http://www.houstonchronicle.com/homes/article/Community-takes-shape-in-far-north-Harris-County-4075094.php And Nancy's blog teases a few photos from the site... most are infrastructure-related while the remainder are renderings that have already been seen here. http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/2012/11/images-of-the-super-secure-springwoods-village/

    Actually saw the Event Centre when I was down there a few months ago. Didn't realize it hadn't opened, but it looked like a nice enough structure in the area. This was before the 'lake' was filled with water, and they were still putting the final touches on it. Apparently it only made it's formal debut in late August. http://setxhomepage....t?nxd_id=198452 I like the idea of redeveloping this part of town, though the 'great lawn' & building's relationship seems out of whack. I also like the fact they're making an effort to introduce people to the area by doing their "Lunch at the Lake" events over the final weeks of November, and first week of December. Was happy see some of the older, heavily neglected warehouses surrounding the space demolished. Having been inside of one of them while it was still standing, those were structures that really did have no hope of rehab. Nearby, it looks like they're making progress on developing a Skate Park & Playground http://www.beaumonte...own-4056989.php Actually saw that they were pretty far along rehabbing one of the older buildings in the area for the new Children's Museum as well. One of the best things about the downtown area as of late is one of the most basic elements - The streets and sidewalks. Was impressed to see how all of the work over the past few years turned out, and was pleasantly surprised at what I found.

    The offices and preliminary venue were to have opened this weekend. The group wants to have the Cole restored by the end of next year. http://www.chron.com/fortbend/news/article/Center-for-the-Arts-to-debut-in-Rosenberg-Nov-4013335.php

    That's probably the case now. Saw the updated version of the plans and it looks like the place where Peter Piper would've been has been divided into two potential pad sites - one proposed as an Oakbend Medical Center Clinic. The other is just open. Not the biggest fan of Papa Murphy's - you get to pay for them to prepare a pizza... then take it home and bake it and assorted sides/deserts yourself. You're better off getting getting something from the freezer at the store - same taste but cheaper. As for that thing I couldn't make out earlier on the Phase II side - it looks like it will be a Children's Learning Adventure location. Funny thing is, they've planned to develop something just northwest of the Hampton Inn on the Phase I side. The current layout shows it there too... That space is bigger though - around 65k in total. It looks like there may be an Old Navy planned for the open space between Palais Royal and Kohl's The site that previously was Conn's may become a Marshall's/HomeGoods Store, with a Cato going in next to it. Other new 'proposed' tenants include Firehouse Subs & Cornerstone Automotive, both on the Phase II side.

    Southwestern Energy looking to build a 10-story building in the development... http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/morning_call/2012/11/southwestern-energy-springwoods-village.html

    Looks like the incentives were approved... http://www.bizjourna...centivized.html

    Not sure if this is the one, but I seem to recall reading an article several years ago about those buildings and how they had issues keeping or even landing prospective tenants due to issues, chief among them, the location and the resulting smell... Based on this 1990 article from the Chronicle, the properties haven't had the easiest of histories... http://www.chron.com/CDA/archives/archive.mpl/1990_677586/offices-back-in-business-corridors-complex-kept-un.html

    It's the Finger Co. project on the soon to be former Ben Milam site. What caught my attention was further down in the article that Hanover may be looking to develop in the area. Sounded much less along than Marvy's development.

    The Chronicle has a profile piece on the developer, and naturally talks about the hotel in the process. http://www.chron.com/business/real-estate/article/Quiet-Houston-developer-to-undertake-bold-3924226.php

    Per a recent installment of Bisnow, Building 3 is finished and 4 is under construction http://www.bisnow.com/real-estate-hou/2012/10/04/construction-diaries-the-sequel/

    Although this piece is a little over a month old, felt the need to post if just for the construction photo... http://www.bisnow.co...family-project/ ...taken from the 51st floor of the Williams Tower.

    The network makes it's debut today. Interesting to see if it does stand up to the the hype of "HSE 2.0" or something similar. http://www.chron.com/news/article/Fans-of-local-teams-stand-to-win-as-new-network-3907606.php

    It looks like there may finally be activity of some sort on the site, where buildings 5 & 6 have been proposed. Since it sounds like they're going for their own campus, these towers likely won't be the end product... Maybe this needs it's own thread (couldn't find one if there was one previously posted!)? http://www.bisnow.co...s-66s-new-home/ Phillips 66 has chosen the site of its new global HQ. The big winner: Westchase. Here’s the 14-acre site where Phillips will build its campus. It acquired the property, off Beltway 8 West between Westheimer and Briar Forest, from an affiliate of Thomas Properties Group. The company has officed at Pinnacle Westchase since leaving the ConocoPhillips campus in May. It’s working on the design for its HQ; construction will take 24 to 36 months after groundbreaking. Plans call for office space, conference and training facilities, and wellness and dining options.
