  1. The more people who move in (residential wise), the sooner that BRT will be LRT!
  2. Updated info from uptown-houston.com Atlanta-based Trammel Crow Residential recently announced its plans to build 390 upscale, mid-rise apartments at 1111 Post Oak Boulevard. The project, dubbed Alexan Post Oak, will house four floors of apartments above two floors of parking. Units will average 965 square feet and will feature 10-foot ceilings, granite kitchen countertops, stainless steel appliances and hardwoods in the living room, kitchen and dining room. Additionally, the property will have a 16,000-square foot clubhouse, Internet caf
  3. I thought this was a new post, but it was just a tired old photo post coming back. Damn. Still nice none the less.
  4. Ok, I did not know that the final piece of empty land was being built on, that is amazing, tehy little area will be so dense now, I hope it has ground level retail what ever is in there, some outdoor cafe will do wonders, with that water wall there!
  5. I would say yes, because I think I remember seeing that too, or maybe I was as confused as you were too! That is the The Empire
  6. The Mercer is the one that looks like a stained urinal north of Richmond between Sage and Rice. The Mark is the one that look skeletal spine south of Richmond between Sage and McCue. The Mark II will go right behind Best Buy in the old Cavalia parking lot.
  7. Both the Mark II and Mercer II are still planned. The Mark II has a pre-sale office location in the Mark I building and the Mercer I recently refenced the parking garage as if they are getting ready to make a mess. So i think those two are going to break ground this winter.
  8. Westchester reverted back to SBISD while Stratford was getting reburbished as a temp highschool. I don't think HCC uses it anymore with the huge campus it built around the Builder Square/AMC 10 shopping on the NE corner of Beltway-8 and I-10 West.
  9. Yeah, this whole renovation project HISD is doing, along with Walnut Bend Elementary is part of the "re-investing in our schools" campaign.
  10. Might as well either delete this thread or combine it. HAIF Cosmopolitan Thread
  11. The the owners of the Chinese restaurant are left with a perfectly bad CITY mistake, they could have kept their business. I hope they were able to at least reopen somewhere else. :closedeyes:
  12. I smell "BioDome". If Pauly Shore is involved, I say we dome the Astrodome!
  13. They try to double dip, They will do rentals at the beginning while everything is brand new, then afer 3 to 5 years, you can bet they might sell them off for condos.
  14. I think all the condo owners at the Oxford would object. Neiman Marcus is independant of the mall, (the mall actually built up to the NM building, which used to be free standing back in the day) It would have to be a deal between NM and Dillards, not Simon (the mall owners) and Dillards. Can you explain this more. Does it expand into Halbouty building across the street? They would need a liftstation for that deep of a garage with all the flood issues Houston has..
  15. Aug. 1, 2006, 11:32AM RETAIL RENAISSANCE More shopping is on Galleria menu Eateries add new appeal to business spaces By TARA DOOLEY Copyright 2006 Houston Chronicle In a spot where dresses, shoes and handbags once helped lure shoppers into the Galleria, mall owners will soon rely largely on food to draw visitors from around Houston and the world. J. Crew will open today in part of the space left vacant since Lord & Taylor closed in January 2005. The 100,000 square feet that once housed the department store on the Westheimer side of the Galleria will now offer goods from specialty shops and three restaurants. The Galleria currently has 35 restaurants including upscale eateries in department stores and fast food options in the food court, Hascher said. But the property includes a hotel that draws convention visitors. Of the Galleria's 24 million shoppers annually, 28 percent arrive from outside Houston for shopping vacations. Of that group, 27 percent come from Mexico, Hascher said. The new restaurants will help keep these visitors at the mall for a meal as well as offer a place for corporate functions, she said. More.
  16. That would cause the land values to skyrocket within the boundary. It would be a blessing for those that already own land and a disaster for those trying to buy affordable housing.
  17. The Woodlands townsquare is awesome looking, they just need to increase from residential highrise opportunities, than it will get hoping in there.
  18. They fall under tha same catergory as Planet Hollywood and Virgin Megastore. All hype but no real economic impact.
