This is very much alive.  

I believe they have laid the slab and even some pillars.

Thanks. What is that building on the same block on the west side?

West would be bottom right, that is Benjy's and Local...

If you were asking about the bigger apt complex in the pic, that is Hanover Rice Village.

Wow this may border on the slowest construction if it begins 3Q of this year and finishes in the beginning of 2017. What is that? Two floors each year? Maybe three?

Rumored that they were building this with construction methods ALA the Egyptian pyramids (sans slave labor)     

I am on my phone so sorry if this has been posted, but while messing around on HAR I think I found a new development that we may have missed. 2312 Commonwealth.

It is ~ 8 stories. If someone could post a link it would be appreciated. It is on HAR, 77006 for sale

Luxurious rebar?

We need a cat park!

Wow, imagine a cat park bar like boneyard.  We could call it the litter box.

It is pretty old, but the description says downtown.

 

They do have a midtown project too, that's probably what you're thinking of.

yes the flatiron-esque one I like a lot!

This looks great and ROD already has a big "feel" to it.

I think High Street was a total failure. It looks like hardly anyone has moved into the building and considering rents will most likely be comparable at these better looking places, why would anyone choose this one?

Would you include Pheonicia's in One Park Place....? It's just a few blocks away from this.

Yea that counts for sure, but it isn't an everyday store.

Phoenicia isn't very pricey for the regular items, people just see it as a specialty only store.

Pro Tip: buy all of your spices there!  They are very cheap and very good!

What is the closest grocery store to downtown in general?  Randall's in midtown, Kroger on grey, or maybe the Kroger on studemont?

I think a store near SkyHouse on main st. would be my wet dream.  Underground parking lot too!

I see MMP in the background!  

Edit:  So this is the block right next to the Finger 7 story?  

Apparently last night someone decided to base jump off of Skyhouse...thankfully successfully

The view from wildcat golf course is pretty amazing and the gap between DT and uptown is relatively "full" appearing already.

The developments in river oaks, greenway and inside the loop of uptown, which are on board already will certainly give the appearance of a continuous skyline as is. Can't imagine in 20-30 years

Lamborghini at a McDonalds drive thru...LOL

@urbannier can you hook me up with some of the crack/drugs you have that keep you awake 24/7?

JK, appreciate all your info and hope you actually do sleep

ugh i hadnt noticed that nasty drop-off driveway. so much for using the whole site.

Better than a wall

agreed. which is why i think that stretch of Westheimer could use a streetcar. from Highland Village (or Central Market) to the Galleria.. the developments arent connected very well and they are just far enough apart that people arent going to want to walk from one to another carrying a bunch of shopping bags.

This is the unfortunate thing.

Also shows how much development style has an effect on people.  Central Market to Sage is how far?  Maybe 1 mile?  This is not very far to walk...at all.

Wow, this is actually occupying literally the entire plot of land!

Debbie dev - lookout weekend

I count 20 floors.  Halfway home!  

You can now see this from outside the loop on Westheimer.

I really wish someone would redevelop the lot across W Alabama from this along with the lot down rice on Hildago.

These lots are prime locations!

Brijon... travel man... so much travel.  Next photo update will be Monday or Tuesday.  

Just give me the keys to your apt...Ill take the pics for you!

A little more apartment than park, not that it is a complaint. As of TODAY, being on the other side of lousiana? Would be more "central" but I am glad for the eastern expansion. When all the main st retail and new apartments are built this is perfectly located!

I like how it opens up to main st. Also looks like the apt opens in the middle. If that is where the supposed cafe will go it does a decent job of feeling inviting from the park itself!

8 Hotels in the works for Uptown?  

4 next year? -> Gables on BBVA site, 2(?) for BLVD Place...I can't think of any more!
