  1. Shell property addition to Willow Waterhole takes critical steps forward https://communityimpact.com/houston/bellaire-meyerland-west-university/2019/10/31/shell-property-addition-to-willow-waterhole-takes-critical-steps-forward After a six-year process, plans to construct a new 13-acre detention pond in Westbury took critical steps forward in late October. “What I would say to the people of Westbury and those who have been here a long time is, don’t sell. Don’t leave. Stay because steps are being taken to make the area a lot more resilient and a lot more sustainable,” Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said. Houston City Council approved the $3.4 purchase of a former Shell Oil Co. facility to serve as the site for the new detention basin on Oct. 16 and Mayor Sylvester Turner closed the sale with Shell executive Keith Probyn at a ceremonial signing Oct. 31. The property is adjacent to a park and network of detention basins known collectively as the Willow Waterhole, just southwest of the I-610 Loop. As a part of the sale contract, the city of Houston will lease the site back to Shell while it clears out the property over the next 16 to 18 months. Over that time period, Houston Public Works will conduct engineering studies and draw up a formal proposal for the detention basin to be presented to both Houston City Council and the Harris County Flood Control District, Public Works Director Carol Haddock said.
  2. The master plan changed, again. First look at a residential tower. 40 stories next to the TMC:Hotel? I also see a skybridge to the McNair campus. This is from today's State of Texas Medical Center 2019. https://www.tmc.edu/news/2019/10/texas-medical-center-ceo-outlines-the-future-of-the-medical-city/
  3. Under contract. Wonder if it the Sam's Club will be rehabbed for light industrial use? Townhome farm, or Class-B mixed use?
  4. 5001 Main street has been issued a demolition permit. Not sure if the space is still related to this development.
