yeah this is crazy!!! cant imagine this place being any bigger but wowsa!!! i cant wait as i go here fairly often! 

another phase with a new target maybe but dont you dare take away my target! i love having one so close to my house...i can afford Target!!!

is it phase II that is being built between phase I and the hotel derek? 

does anyone know when they will be closing/knocking down the convenience store and sullivans etc?

is there a time frame announced?

nevermind  

well it didnt survive the houston galleria but maybe it would survive ROD...

i just liked their cool window displays at the galleria

oh trust me...if a restaurant is good enough, i will practically be living there!

blue is restaurant you mean, not residential  

most of the ground level facing westheimer seems to be restaurant space...i know the west part is 2 restaurants plus one of those having a coffee shop (so 3 total on that side if you count it that way...) then 1 on the right side...and my guess is the rest will indeed be retail. (there may be room for 2 to 4 more places depending on the size)

its always fairly busy as its located within a hotel and just off main street so it gets a fair amount of traffic...also when my best friend headlined a show at house of blues a couple of months ago, we walked over there after soundcheck and there was a line about 10 people long...so it's doing pretty well apparently! 

thats a great idea...some sort of marquee or jumbotron type sign that shows upcoming events (similar to the one at Toyota Center)...that would be great for both the convention center and discovery green!

its actually a pretty cool building and have been checking in on its progress lately as well! i hope they have some good secular shows on the calendar so i can go check it out! 

i love my area more and more every day  i have lived on mccue near westheimer for almost 19 years and worked on post oak at westheimer (old compass bank bldg)/now sage and near westheimer for almost 18 years... i am so happy my area continues to change for the better! 

i am hoping to go if i can get a ticket from someone selling one as i waited too long to get one...but love m83 and love that we have a new cool music venue choice! hope it works out well for everyone.... 

I was going to post my own photos from Final Four saturday and sunday but these do the job nicely haha! man i really was so proud to be a houstonian this weekend...loved the whole experience and i love our city and really loved meeting so many people visiting that loved it as well! (thats a whole lot of love going around haha...and it was awesome!)

seeing that i live one block from Post Oak and work 2 blocks from Post Oak, I am looking forward to all of these projects...(and hopefully those bus lanes on Post Oak change to light rail as some suspect the plan will be by 2020...)

i dont know why am so excited about all this convention center news...maybe because i always thought this building was such an eyesore...so its just so cool to see that its becoming something better than it was. thanks for all the awesome updates and photos!!! 

haha true i guess! i just want to see it finished because it looks like its going to be awesome! 

is it me or is this project super slow moving? 

the bottom/west facing floor is being redone and will feature restaurants with patios and entertainment but not sure about the rest of the building...i would hope they do a little refreshing at least but haven't heard much about the inside of GRB 

wow!!! it really is!!! i would have never thought i would be excited to see photographs of the GRB or even go inside but this is really looking amazing and cannot wait to have all the new restaurant and entertainment options. i already love discovery green and The Grove, so this is just making me like this area even more! thanks for posting that cool photo!
