yep, sad stuff!

this development looks so strange to me and not sure exactly why! maybe how different the lower stainless steel tupperware container building looks compared to the base and angled supports on the taller adjacent tower?...who knows haha! but everytime i ride my bike by it i find myself staring at it in wonder so i guess that is a good thing 🤪

even more kooky is that the building just adjacent (on the other side of the cross street) that houses Hay Merchant looks like it may be redeveloped too!
looks like Westheimer is going under major redevelopment all around this famous intersection! wowsa

(i get those Neighbor/Neighborhood email updates but don't even remember signing up for them haha!)

Yep you are right @mkultra25🍦
and edited to say that Urbe is open TODAY! For now it is counter service only and open m-f 8am - 3pm and weekends 10a - 3pm.
I am hoping for late night hours eventually but who knows.
and long story short i was on my way there this morning and this driver on post oak blvd was driving crazy and recklessly and after 3 instances of them showing proof of needing to retake their drivers license course (and to learn common courtesy), it turns out they work at dang URBE!!! (i found this out after they decided to slam on their breaks in front of me in order to back up and then back up into a parking space on the side of URBE...i honked so he wouldn't back into me and he proceeds to roll down his window to start screaming at me...) I said hey you work at URBE?! I was just about to go eat here and will let them know how you drive to work. Drive safer!
I decided not to eat there after all this morning... 👹

FYI: i rode my bike by Van Leeuwen Ice Cream this past friday night and it was OPEN! :)
however dang i was mislead originally...the ice cream shop ONLY takes up the small space next door to Crave Cupcakes! a construction worker originally said they were doing demolition on all 3 spaces for this but nope, the last 2 spaces next to the animal circle park are going to be an independent space! (I hope this isn't where Postino is going and instead they take over the old Tasting Room spot as i have mentioned previously...
we shall see...
(oh, and rode my bike by sat and sun and the ice cream shop had a line out the door of about 12 to 20 each time!)

wowsa! i haven't been keeping up with this thread but cannot believe the changes going on...and that plaza, although strange, holds some good memories like when my best friends played there for 1999/2000 new years eve when we knew we were all going to die immediately after the computers and phone were going to blow up 🤪
speaking of my best friends...they are actually headlining this at Bayou Music Center 10/30/21 although to be honest i wish it was going to be at the new 713/POST!:

great photo! (as usual) :) ...not shown though is either a covered eating area or a drive thru for Chop Shop! I haven't driven by close enough (or slow enough) to be able to tell haha! I agree this end of the plaza underwent a really great transformation!

wow that is surprising news! will definitely read that article...thanks @iah77!
-
this is amazing news...i have stayed at Hotel Saint Cecilia before and man that place is amazing and so darn cool! Jake Gyllenhaal was staying there at the same time btw!
anyway...don't know if you all remember but originally these owners were looking at the land where Cane's Chicken Montrose is now but when the economy went down, so did their plans. I am so excited they have decided to open up a Houston hotel after all, as they are one of the best at small boutique hotels with exceptional service.

PF Chang's is being built out down the road at the base of 5251 Westheimer with signs all at the base of that building...i wonder if this location at Highland Village is closing?

more info about Urbe that i am betting opens next month!
An update posted to Uptown Park’s website indicates that it will be an all-day eatery, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus a case packed with pastries, a full bar and coffee menu, and a “robust to-go program.” Hashtags on the original Facebook post offer a touch more insight into the dishes one might expect — including “trompo” and “barbacoa.”
count me in 😋

actually really liked that location and do hope they find another home in uptown...and soon!
but this even more makes me think that this whole area (jenni's noodles to container store) is on its way out and a new development is on it's way! (i wonder if everyone's lease ends by 2021/2022?)

I don't think it takes away from the project. I do think it takes away from the street. Or the pedestrian experience of the street.
ETA: Or takes away from what could have been. I'm not saying the project in any way takes away anything from Westheimer.
yeah i get it for sure! one thing i love about Velvet Taco across the street is sitting on the street facing patio area watching the world go by!

I think it just depends on the kind of space they are trying to create...vibrant and lively main street facing or peaceful tranquil side street facing...with Westheimer being so busy i guess they may have made their choice dependent on that.
who knows! but i am good with either and don't think side street facing in this case takes away from the project at all.
