    Variance was approved on June 23, 2011 for phase 1 of a 3 phased project. Phase 1 will now be 4 floors and parking does not look like it will be a garage. The planning commission talked in depth on the June 23 video about how they need to move more quickly on re-doing the parking requirments for similar developments.

    Anybody know if there is a tentative date out there for expansion? "When it's completed, possibly in 2010, The Mix is expected to have more than 300,000 square feet of retail space" http://www.chron.com...ff/5563952.html And this about a new location opening up from innerlooped http://innerlooped.com/1040/new-restaurant-coming-to-the-mix-midtown/

    http://www.houstonrealestateobserver.com/houston-developers-starting-new-office-buildings/ "The most surprising of the new office projects being discussed is the so-called Block 69 deal at Main Street and Texas Avenue in downtown Houston. Hines owns the block and it has retained an architect to design plans for a new tower there." "Midway Cos. has two new buildings on the drawing board – the 250,000-square-foot City Centre III project and the proposed M Fifty Nine, a 74,000-square-foot building on Montrose Boulevard."

    I think that Houston has finally become dense enough that it make sense to build more urban style buildings.

    From culturemap... "While nearly every other city finds a way to protect buildings of historical significance, officials in Houston continually say it would cost too much to renovate such structures, so they tear them down and (as in the Y's case) put up a parking garage." http://houston.culturemap.com/newsdetail/06-27-11-another-landmark-bites-the-dust-the-old-downtown-ymca-has-memories-that-cant-be-replaced/

    From Bisnow http://www.bisnow.co...ory.php?p=15795 I think the second property they are talking about is Richmond Landing. "Post will be one of the first developers out of the ground in this cycle in Houston, Bart tells us. The two Houston projects include a third phase in Midtown at Post Midtown Square (rendered) and a yet-to-be named development on Richmond in the Montrose area. “We like the inner West Loop with its broader area to the Galleria, Medical Center, CBD, and Greenway,” David says. The Houston projects will start later this year or early next year."

    it's about adding density to the inner loop. the more grocery stores, the better suited we are to support high density development in the loop.

    "BBVA Compass marked the official start of construction on its new corporate office building last week with an official groundbreaking ceremony. The 22-story, 312k SF LEED Gold building will centralize BBVA’s local executives, multiple business areas, and staff units under a single roof. The bank will occupy 150k SF and six floors. Redstone Companies Real Estate purchased the land in the early ‘90s and demolished the long-standing Compass Bank building in ’09. Redstone CEO Steve Lerner says it was always his vision to build a “crown jewel” in the heart of the Galleria. The tower was designed by HKS Architects and will be built by Manhattan Construction. Expect occupancy in early 2013." http://www.bisnow.com/houston_commercial_real_estate_news_story.php?p=15708

    From an older Swamplot article... http://swamplot.com/...nd-development/ "The Finger Companies says the Whole Foods will be built “in conjunction with the developer’s proposed new luxury apartment project.” That project, also announced in the spring of 2008, was slated for the eastern portion of the site, closer to Montrose Blvd."

  23. DrLan34
    i was talking to a friend from a CE company and they said they had been contracted to begin re-doing a large number of sidewalks in the heights area.
  24. DrLan34
    would be excellent if they did.

    http://houston.cultu...-new-complexes/ "Archstone has broken ground on a new complex that will contain 474 units on the northeast corner of North Braeswood and Brompton Road. It's on the site of the former Houston Scottish Rite Temple, which was demolished in 2008 in order to make room for a developer. Already Hines has announced plans to build a mid-rise apartment complex near the Galleria, part of its new focus on multi-family real estate. Apartment giants Greystar Real Estate Partners and Camden Property Trust are also said to be in the planning process on new developments. Post Properties announced last week that the company will break ground on the third phase of the Post Midtown Square, a mixed-use mid-rise development. One hundred 24 new apartments should be ready to add to the existing structures in the second half of 2012. The Dinerstein Companies is expected to break ground by July 1 on its third Millennium apartment complex in Houston, a "boutique" complex with 237 units on McCue, just north of the Galleria. Partner Brian Dinerstein told the Houston Business Journal in April that the complex will be pedestrian-friendly and should be certified LEED Silver. The Millennium Galleria apartment are scheduled for completion in 2013. Tell us: do you think the influx of high-end apartment complexes a good thing or a bad thing for Houston?"
