    Fort Worth actually has a very nice three-screen drive-in complex situated just north of Downtown and south of the Cats' ballpark. That actually could work one one of those vacant Northside or East End lots.

    EaDo Station in the East End? Quaint.

    It doesn't appear to be that much. Two-story garden apartment-style hotel rooms. The Wichita, KS, WaterWalk Hotel is kind of disappointing to look at from the outside. But there could be more than one.

    I don't think Skanska's going to hang around if nothing's going to happen for years. They have their own Downtown skyscraper to worry about.

    Disappointing. More overruns on the Australian gas plant? Or another excuse?

    Somehow, since we were discussing retail experiences, I just had to dig this one up... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-6w9e9cheE

    Maybe deliveries are slow. There appear to be shortages everywhere.

    Any recent pics? That could yield some clues.

    If you think something doesn't add up, take a look at the company profile for the local office of Lukiven International. It sounds like a small outpost. Exactly how much office space are they taking? The most solid tenant in the place so far is Cambria Suites. I'm still hoping this happens, but it sounds like early days...

    Virgin Megastore is overhyped. In this day and age when MP3's can be purchased from a computer and Kindles are everywhere, a gigantic movie, record and book store is rapidly becoming obsolete. Better to have Virgin Atlantic or Virgin America touching down at Intercontinental.

    That's only true of the Cenikor parking lot - with its English graves underneath.

    They clearly reversed the polarity.

    Yes, but now the residents can claim to be the EastEnders...

    That's the new Montrose pricing for you...

    At this point, I don't even think GHIC knows. Which is to say they don't have a property locked down. They say 242 and 1488, but that kind of in the middle of nowhere.

    Not anymore. They moved to the Woodlands about a year ago.

    If this thing becomes more certain, they may decide to add some architectural touches that we haven't seen yet.

    Hmm - for whatever reason, their ads in the airline magazines don't list it. And the same sentiment goes for those Hawaiian jewelers, Na'Hoku.

    If you've ever seen the Ballston section of Arlington, VA, you'll know that buildings like this are a dime a dozen. Only the brick is tan.

    But they are Houston-based. Just like Conn's.

    Why does it always want to rain when it's time to take pictures.
  22. toxtethogrady
    Are they still calling it EaDo place when the Master Plan says East End?

    The reason it's not gaga time is the name of hotel hasn't been announced (and I'd take another Valencia Group Hotel as a substitute), so it's not even certain this will happen or that it will be a W. And the four stories does indeed look like a typo; kind of hard to cram 300 hotel rooms in four floors. But four star is a downgrade from five stars. I also think Houston needs to start turning up its nose at some of these newbies. W didn't see fit to bring in a hotel to Houston back in 2007 when they built one in Dallas? Screw them. Ritz Carlton? We're way beyond that. Bloomingdale's never opened in the Galleria when they had the chance? Tough luck - we want Raffles City or Harrod's now. Roche Bobois still not interested? There are better furniture designers who are. We're the most important city in Texas, and if you high-end retailers don't get it, we don't want you.

    Actually, Target's kind of in the way. I wonder if they can be bribed to find another site in the vicinity (Much like MIcro Center was).

    This really wants to be somewhere between the Town Center and Hughes Landing. And look, it's being advertised as an EB-5 opportunity!
