    Depends on the width of said people.....

    Is this development still being marketed to students?
  3. skooljunkie
    Nice lowcation.

    Looks like the Admiral Linen facility (on 1.5+ blocks at Harvard/Center) is closing in January...just one block north of the new mixed use/H-E-B building at Buffalo Heights: https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2018/11/02/linen-and-uniform-rental-co-to-close-houston.html

    Kroger should be rotated.

    Haha---Dolce deserves a little more respect. Le Palais on W. Gray started a full year before, and it's still under construction.

    Along with this City-funded portion between Dickson and Washington, TIRZ #5 is planning the reconstruction of Durham and Shepherd between North Loop and 11th. Based on their current budget document, Shepherd is scheduled for construction in 2020 and Durham in 2022. That would leave the heavily traveled portion between 11th and Washington unplanned. https://www.houstontx.gov/ecodev/tirzdocs/budgetsfy18/tirz5.pdf

    TDHCA recommended a 120-unit multi-family development for housing tax credits at 8506 Hempstead just south of 11th. It's the 2.6-ac. vacant lot at the curve. Here's a link with site plans, and info: https://www.tdhca.state.tx.us/multifamily/docs/imaged/2018challenges/18254.pdf Three levels of apartments on top of one level of parking.

    I hope everyone can get a refund on all preorders of yellow foam board and stakes.

    Hmmm...I cannot see the link, but I am 99.9% certain this is being mixed up with ~800 apartments planned for the 17000 block of Bissonnet in Fort Bend County in the Camelia development just east of FM 1464.

    Insert Houston Chronicle joke here.

    No doubt roads will flood anywhere for a short period of time during 4-inch+ per hour rains, however it seems that drain pipes are way too small (and likely collapsed/clogged with silt) along many major roads in Houston. They were built 5-10 decades ago when we didn’t tend to think about regional drainage. For example, water sits for up to an hour on Westcott and Washington after intense downpours and these streets are on relatively high ground between two bayous. Drive along during a light shower and you’ll spot drain after drain clogged. Clogged drains are by far the most challenging item to get fixed via 311 (and believe me, I’ve 311ed a lot over the years). My guess is the old, small drainage pipes are also the easiest to clog up. How are rebuilds like Shepherd and Kirby doing now? A small car could be driven through the new storm pipes that were put underground along Tuam recently. I’m going to bet I could not even fit in the storm drain pipes under Richmond Ave. That road needs to be rebuilt with or without the train. In sum, Rebuild Houston.

    Going on about 5.5 years now! Almost done!!

    An Amazon drive-thru would do well here.

    ...just saw this announcement back in March: http://hcp1.net/News/post/commissioner-ellis-announces-street-repairs-around-tsu-and-uh

    A crane went up about a week or two ago...I believe it sits on this site.
  18. skooljunkie
    The apartment building site has been under construction for a few weeks now.
  19. skooljunkie
    Doesn't seem like it. It looks like they consider that portion a separate property--notice there is a drop down above that allows you to pick the Kroger area (Loc. 20005)

    The building connected/adjacent to Sunbeam appeared to be undergoing demolition today.
  21. skooljunkie
    People actually live in the Cosmo? I assumed it only houses the erasers and pencil sharpeners of charter school students--oh and their Superintendent's fine china.
  22. skooljunkie
    I snapped this a few days ago to show progress. The crane is going up today actually.
  23. skooljunkie
    Yup.
  24. skooljunkie
    I'd like to see a rendering of this with the bayou flooded.

    Yesterday I noticed the sign's image was corrected with the smaller brick office building AREJAY linked. Also, dirt was being moved on site.
