Well Missoni Is Coming to the Galleria. An Just Cavalli is doing a big expanison in the USA I wouldnt be surprised if Dallas & Houston got one soon.

I looked at W site for future hotel no houston but Minneapolis an Phoenix are on there you have to be kidding me

I'm glad to see this coming to Houston, but Starwood needs to branch out with their Houston locations some. They already have four hotels in Uptown (two Westins, Sheraton Suites, St. Regis) and not a single location in Downtown Houston or the Texas Medical Center. They're obviously not doing this in the Dallas area, where they are building five of these, all in key business areas, including Downtown Dallas.

My biggest gripe about Starwood, as a frequent business traveler, has always been their lack of coverage in many locations.

Why Cant Houston get a damn W Hotel!!!! Its #4 in America an no W! but on the flipside Miami an Vegas just got theirs this year an those are very fashionable vacation spots, but that is besides the point I guess aloft is striped down W hopefully it does well an we get a W!

Nice article, gives a nice light on Houston's international position seems to be a good amount a wealthy international citizens in houston

LOL True They also show Bottega Veneta & Miss Sixty/Energie which also opened at Galleria. Well this at least shows what type of retail they are going for. Is this project even off the ground yet? Also what about BLVD place?

I like the WestCreek an River Oaks District renderings the most.

Ive noticed on the River Oaks District they have actual tenants listed

Barneys an W Hotel are posted all over it an then I noticed Prada

an when you look at the retail lay out they are all listed have these retailers actually signed on(I hope so)

or are they wishful thinking????

So did DUO move or just close?

Miss Sixty and Energie are opening , soo happy to know this because I like Energie jeans. I'm still waitting on a Diesel and Original Penguin store !! if I were in charge I would get rid of most tendants in Galleria III and open worth shopping at stores . A Macys has to go its pointless having two, we need Bloomingdale's or a full Barney's.

We are Getting Energie And Miss Sixty In Houston i know the one in Dallas is opening soon where are they in the Galleria? Is the sign up yet?

I want Sisley,D&G,Cavalli to open in the Galleria

It was rumored H&M were coming here I dont know if that is true

Any New News about the Glameria?

Thank you for the extensive info, especially on schools, even if I don't have kids. I would like to know an important thing (at least for me): are the women in Houston beautifull. Being from Europe and traveling allover the world (including some US cities) I have lived with the prejudice, wich I realy hope is wrong, that girls in US are not very pritty and moreover overweight (McDonald's type) - exept from the immigrants and descendents from Latin America. Please don't hate me to much and correct me if I'm wrong.

Mephisto I'll Give a Real Rundown:

As you being European I advise staying in the city it will probably fit your taste more. If your single they may help narrow your search more.

River Oaks-Very Expensive,Exclusive,Prestigous,The Beverly Hills of Houston.

Also like suggested Houston is very unpredictable. But the Central is the nicest (West Loop) All of the nice areas run together: RiverOaks,Memorial,Galleria/Uptown an to the South West University & Rice Village Area. You would probably like these areas the most, very nice new/an older homes & townhomes in meditterian stucco styles. I live in the Galleria Area an love it very nice,very safe, Ultra Convient I often walk to the grocery store at 1am for ice cream. A lot of European ppl live in this area its a very chic an international area from American to Persian its a great mix of ppl from all over the world. Plus to mention the 24hr starbucks is always packed. West Loop area is full of nice resturants an nightclubs ,Galleria (only mall you will ever need)plus Very convient to downtown 15mins max (non rush hour ,30mins during rush hour) Also I suggest looking at the Condos on Post Oak (Uptowns Main Artiery)

As for the Women Beautiful Latin,black,white,asian,european,russian,perisan whatever your choice (I love em all ) They are all over the place especially at night!! The international appeal offers a wide choice of good looking women.

An for suburbs I personally wouldnt suggest Woodlands since you dont have kids I would say Sugarland or Katy which are very nice an more convient to central houston.

So they are saying that Euro cities are crumbling? 9% are they that damn racist? I thought europe was suppose to be so progressive,liberal & chic

DAMN! DAMN! DAMNN!!!! Damnt they did it they beat the Houston Galleria in size! But that expansion is nice I was in Dallas last month an Northpark is nice had to do some splurging while i was there lol. They seem to have a lot of upscale malls in Dallas excellent shopping all around there. Maybe the Houston Galleria will next it to the next level now. Since that the only big powermall besides memorial city. How do they have a city full of nice stuff? They have better shopping than Chicago!

Why Dallas and especially Philpedelphia!!! Before Houston, not trying to pull a Marsha,Marsha,Marsha move here or maybe I havent been in TX long enough to understand The Texas Republic politics.

I need airport transportion does anyone know any good limo companies, or any with cheap rates thanks.

Get ready for some shock, areas can completly change by going on the other side of the freeway it was a shock for me. But I still like it here great nightlife and resturants,shopping,etc I suggest getting a new townhome you can get a nice 3story one for around 200k(innerloop) or move out into the suburbs an get a nice size home master planned.

WOW so they are gonna tear down some old galleria are buidings? GREAT!!! This is def what the area needs! Any pictures of the Ford Dealer redevelopement

Nice Pics I would take down the bus stop one who wants to see a bus stop in what its suppose to be the "Rodeo Dr. of Houston" but anyways, I think a picture or Westheimer and Post Oak an Night the signs look really cool at night especially facing the Galleria

Went to Sugarland for the first time its very nice the first actual suburb I would live in. Everything is so perfectly planned. Went to Sweetwater whoah that is one neighborhood, Is it true the that celebs live there? What is with the fake guard gates?

Well If its makes you feel better Houston is getting Barney's CO-OP, Texas seems to really be a retail hotspot

Can someone post pictures of Sugarland on here hardly ever go there maybe been twice. I want to see all this developement you all are talking about.

TXDOT planted the trees along and near the BW8 interchanges for sure.

Not sure about 288.

But one thing I am sure about, is that the Palm trees they planted along Dowling @45 and 45@ Scott look like poop.

This is Houston, not Miami.

At least the Palms @ Southbelt look OK, but the ones inside the loop should be removed.

What are you talking about Palms trees are great I like the ones that line post oak , If anything we need a lot more of them planted but the extremly tall ones not those stubby ones

Does that mean Houston will get some major densification?

The city needs to be planned better its to suburban looking ...To many old cheap stripmall developments allowed no building standards which is a major problem. Houston needs more beautification projects like a Palm tree lined median down westhimer out to Hwy 99.

You think with a city thats land mass could fit too NYC inside it be more urban. Im not asking for nyc density but it def. needs to be worked on

I'm hoping that the Borders will be accessible from the outside and will go far to alleviating the "bunker" look of the Galleria. A nice multi-story glass facade will give the Galleria a lot of curb appeal from Westheimer. I like the renovation of the inside, but I'm hoping that something can be done to the exterior. That intersection is extremely important.

Well its your luck there is lots an lots of glass when you go to that end an see the artistic rendering the whole damn wall facing westhimer is glass

I heard they were putting a Custo Barcelona in the expansion wing i dont know if thats true? And why is it,scottsdale 1, SA has 1 an Dtown has 2 Hugo Boss stores an Houston has none? Just wondering.

What is going in that Lord & Taylor expansion at the Galleria, I heard new stores were coming in? Anyone know which ones?
