Vacant Parcel On Westcreek Ln.
citykid09 replied to Urbannizer's topic in River Oaks/Upper Kirby/Greenway Plaza/Bissonnet
I had forgotten about this one. Too many developments to remember and many times its easy to forget about them if we are not here talking about them everyday.- 91 replies

Is the limit only 5,000 units for the incentive? Well it should surley be moved up in my opinion to at least 20,000 units. Midtown should also have these incentives and require that the buildings be at least 5 or more stories, no parking requirements, no set backs, power lines must be placed underground and the sidewalks must be as wide as the ones you see in NYC.

Hilton Hampton Inn/Homewood Suites Hotels At 710 Crawford St.
citykid09 replied to Houston19514's topic in Downtown
For some reason I thought this was cancelled. Wasn't a downtown hotel recently cancelled? Anyway, good to see a big parking lot gone from downtown and from the inner city. When will we hear about all of those high end hotels they said we would see announced in Houston this year? Has work started on the Green Street Hotel? I thought they were supposed to start in July???- 486 replies

They should also look at the Atlantic Station development in Atlanta for inspiration.

I hope to see some supertalls coming to Houston soon, but most of all I hope that Houston will continue the trend of building more urban style developments and never goes back to the days of stripmalls on every corner.

Love this! Just a few questions. Is this on the same lot that West Ave Phase III was going to be on? How close is this to the new Kirby Collection development? Who thinks Kirby is the new Post Oak Blvd, Rodeo Drive, or 5th Ave type street?

I don't believe in the superstitious stuff, but I would not want to live that close to a grave yard. They could have atleast put a tall fence inbetween their lot and the grave yard as well as put in a slim park behind the building for the residence to give some distance and just build taller.

Aspire Post Oak: Multifamily High-Rise At 1616 Post Oak Blvd.
citykid09 replied to Mab's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
This is ALL about obstructing his view. This guy acts like he lives in a small town. If he is so concerned about an ambulance making it in time in case he has a heart attack maybe he should move near the medical center.- 1,031 replies

You know the city requires 2 parking spots for a single family home because they say its needed because in Houston you have to drive everywhere you go. There are also so many parking spot requirments for each business. If the people in charge would undrestand that THIS requirement, poorly planned streets (only for vehicles not pedestrians, bikes, etc) and no shade tree requirement is the reason that Houston is being held off as a walkbale city, not heat and humidity.

Intresting! This here says that its estimated to be only 400 feet.

Didn't this developer also buy the near by bank building? I wonder if they plan to also redevelop it into a higrise as well.

Lets hope all of those problems go away with new street redevelopments since the city has said that (I think) all new major thoroughfare redos will be redone as complete streets.

Yes, they did homework. I had no idea about the restrictions the city had in the 1970s. imagine what the city would have looked like it had allowed all the development that wanted to come into the inner city.

Whats in the little 1-2 story building that looks white with a red and green roof right across the street from this tower? That spot looks prime for redevelopment.- 988 replies

I think H&M will draw people in. But I would like to see Macy's ome back and wouldn't it be nice if someone in the Foley's Family brought back that department store? Is that family still around? Also an urban HEB.

CityCentre: Mixed-Use Development At 800 Town And Country Blvd.
citykid09 replied to Parrothead's topic in Going Up!
They should buy all of the I-10 feeder property and plant a thick little forest of trees trees to buffer the development from the freeway. It just doesn't seem that cool when you look over and a freeway is right in your face.- 960 replies

When you have had HEB who would go back to Albertsons? No one! The only grocery store that is not in the area that I think would do good is Publix.

Its weird that I can't find any images of it online other then this, but here is what the Villa Maria/Welbron Road/Rail Road crossing looks like. Its not the best image, but it give you an idea of what can be done at Westheimer and the train crossing. If a city the size of Bryan can do it, why can't Houston on its premier street?
