I kinda reminds me of "The House" in Dallas...virtually same look without having to pay for the name of some French guy.

"Upon completion, the project will feature approximately 250 for-rent luxury apartment homes and 12,500 SF of ground-floor retail, which will be anchored by an upscale restaurant that will service the surrounding community and the tenants. Construction is planned to commence in the second quarter of 2012. "

All museums are free tomorrow from what i was told. Question is, since parking is an issue, i've decided to park in my employers private parking garage. My question though is what would be what rail should i take to the museum district and how much is it? Thanks.

Take THE rail

Is there going to be a Whole Foods inside Blvd place? Isn't there already a Whole Foods just a block or two away?

I think the closest one is on Woodway near Voss. This whole foods will work but is kinda unnecessary since there is Rice across the street, Randalls a block away, and Kroger further down San Felipe.

My house... haha

Didn't want to start a new thread for this so I figured this was close enough...Obama last night mentioned Houston and how this new stimulus will fund a public transportation project here. He didnt go into detail or anything but it has to be promising for the other lines.

I drove down around Midtown earlier and noticed some work on the North East corner of W Gray and Taft. Does anyone know what could be going in there?

First steel structure has been put up

The area may have some very nice single family neighborhoods but this stretch of Bering is nothing but multifamily housing.

Kick ass looking pool.

Yea I live on chimmney rock and woodway so I am very familiar with the area. Im just thinking in terms of San Felipe it seems a little isolated, with T.H. Rogers on one side and Tanglewood on the next. Don't let my negativity fool you this looks amazing especially if the pool is visible from the street.

Yes, it will be where the funeral home is. As much as I like it, it does seem kinda out of place in that part of town. Still looks cool though

Typical Houston conservatism...Reliant and Toyota Center are very bland and nothing like our Dallas counterparts when it comes to the AA Arena or Cowboy Stadium. Looks like more effort was put into Minute Maid. We'll see about the Dynamo

The Texans gameday atmosphere is pretty boring also

Cowboys stadium ill leave alone, but AAC is very boring. The inside looks like a suburban office building. Victory Park, looks really cool but we all know how that place is.

My guess is they are talking about the high street construction that stopped, the 4ish story steel frame that has been there for some time...I hope i am wrong, but that would be my guess

Dr. Pepper / Snapple Deal

Dynamo have closed a deal with Dr. Pepper / Snapple for drink rights in the new stadium. This was the first year drink sponsorships were allowed in the MLS.

I like the Texas ties, now if they can just get a deal with St. Arnolds...

The construction is moving along quickly, the retaining walls on north, east, and west have been built. They have already dug down to the full depth of the field and drainage is being installed.

Dynamo Webcam

Here is the camera from the dynamo website which should be running from here on.

This video has a tour of the site itself with a little explanation of what is going on currently. At the end they speak with Chris Canetti, the dynamo pres, says we should see the actual structure of the stadium going up in about 3 weeks.

Construction Pics May

More Pics

The west side retaining wall is supposed to be done by the next week or two. There is already 1 crane and another will be up within a week.

So this is the spot where Perennial was supposed to be?

Construction Cam

Camera is running again

I really hope all of the area from West Ave to Rice Village eventually transforms to these type of developments. I wonder if it is even possible.

West Ave Confirms New Retail

Stores are confirmed for West Ave. retail space.

Has this project started construction? I think I remember reading it would be around now.

I think we've killed this person's BW quota for the month.

The guy on BigSoccer whose cam it is said that a cat had knocked it off.

Hes going out of town for a week then will be back to fix it after that so we will be with out it until then.

I was driving down Westheimer the other day and saw a sign on the side of the street saying coming soon. Looks pretty sweet. It is located just west of Sage on Westheimer.

A.D. Players close to building new theater

This is the only like I could find after a brief search, kinda old. Does anyone know anything else about this project?
