  1. I moved downtown 4 months ago and absolutely love it. It's very attractive to a lot of people as all of the new complexes are leasing up very fast. It still has a way to go, but once all of the current apartments under construction, hotels, and the convention district are complete it will definitely take it to the next level.
  2. Here's an article about it. http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/morning_call/2016/06/with-latest-building-renovation-midtown-becoming.html
  3. I absolutely love this building. I can't wait until the retail is lease out to see the impact it will have on Main St.
  4. ^ This. The SuperBowl is the ultimate show in town and a time to showcase the city and our "new" downtown. There's no doubt in my mind all of these restaurants will be up and running by mid January.
  5. At 500 Crawford it does. They've been working on their restaurants since I moved in 3.5 months ago and they are no where close to being done lol. Then again they just don't seem to be in any hurry to get them open and I haven't seen any visible progress in a month and a half...
  6. I found their Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/AloftHoustonDowntown/ Link to the lighting changing colors Pool Front Desk Inside of the elevator
  7. Nice. I'll have to swing by tonight and check it out
  8. I think they may be referring to the garage going up as a part of "Theater Square" just south of the park
  9. Market Square Park. There's a parking garage with retail going up on half of the block south of the park.
  10. Yea I currently hop in my truck and drive to HEB over in Montrose to go to the grocery store. I did find Posh liquors a few blocks away that I can walk to though
  11. Snapped two pics. The steel framing is almost complete on the lower apartments. They also just poured concrete on the floors in the southeast corner.
  12. "Houston First Corporation and the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau are now in their new home in Partnership Tower, the 10-story office building that connects to the north end of the George R. Brown Convention Center. The new building looks out at Minute Maid Park, Discovery Green and the downtown skyline. It is attached to the GRB via sky bridge and adjoins a 1,900-space parking garage that will also serve the forthcoming Marriott Marquis Houston. Monday, September 12, was moving day for most employees, who will be housed on the second, fourth, sixth and eighth floors. Although the building is not completely finished, it was a smooth transition and most of the boxes and moving crates have been emptied as the new offices take shape." http://www.houstonfirst.com/news/press-releases/weve-moved-houston-first-has-a-new-home
  13. Their website says September 27th, which is just under two weeks away. http://www.starwoodhotels.com/alofthotels/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=4105&language=en_US
  14. "Thor Equities has landed Pinstripes, a new restaurant and entertainment venue to the Houston market, as its first retail tenant at the Kirby Collection near River Oaks. Pinstripes, which offers a bistro with Italian and American cuisine along with bowling and bocce, has leased 33,830 square feet in the development, Thor Equities announced. Opening is planned for late 2017." http://www.chron.com/business/real-estate/article/Thor-Equities-inks-deal-with-Pinstripes-for-9222171.php#photo-10925270
  15. Yea there were Cubs fans all over downtown over the weekend. Every hotel had Cubs fans standing out front. Hope they came and spent a lot of money
  16. I was thinking the exact same thing. The Super Bowl is still 5 months away...
  17. I believe this has always been scheduled to be complete 1Q of 2017. Yes, the Texaco building has been under renovations for almost 3 years now.....
  18. Pappadeaux! " Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen, a popular Cajun seafood brand within the bulging Pappas Restaurants portfolio (including Pappas Bros. Steakhouse, Pappasito's Cantina and Pappas Bar-B-Q restaurants), will take a 9,000-square-foot space on the southwest corner of the convention center facing the new pedestrian promenade called Avenida Houston. It is the largest restaurant space in the collection of the Avenida restaurants announced by Houston First.
