  1. I just got an email from the BLVD Place mailing list that confirms that there is going to be a Pinkberry here. What this tells me is the map that burgower4 found is accurate.
  2. Which will just further confuse visitors as to where the real downtown is. They are already confused by the Med Center and Uptown.
  3. So what are everyone's thoughts on University of Houston being the only undefeated team in Texas now? And being ranked as the #2 team in Texas, one spot behind UT?
  4. Wow. This and BBVA are EXACTLY in sync with each other. They even erected their tower cranes on the same day (or within a day or two of each other).
  5. The tower crane is now up. They constructed it today. I'll try to grab a picture if I have time while it's still light out.
  6. Nope. As of now, the word is that the two sites that the highrises were to stand on were sold to other developers and the current BLVD Place site has no planned highrises as part of it.
  7. They look a little similar, yes, but there are several very distinct differences, such as the parking garages and that atrium area on 2200:
  8. Update: The site notice says they will be finished in April of 2013, while the big sign says Fall 2012. And the Marquee West continues to look like crap: I've got $20 that says that it's demolished within 5 years to make room for another one of these cookie cutter high end apartment places.
  9. Pictures I took around 3:30 this afternoon: The old Pavilion building. It's falling apart: And they have removed some of the columns: And they've laid down about 2-3 feet of dirt all over the site across Post Oak Ln. from BLVD Place:
  10. Walked passed around 4pm today and grabbed a quick picture: And SkylineView is right, they've had the base for the tower crane in place for a good two weeks now. It's the white thing on the right edge of the picture.
  11. That's the frame for the exterior cladding.
  12. I appreciate you guys keeping an eye out for it. One of his friends said his friend saw it around 59 south and the beltway, if anyone spends any significant time around there, please keep an eye out. Thanks again, guys.
  13. As far as we know, that's the final design.
  14. Thank you so much. We appreciate any help we can get.
  15. The project will have some limited parking along the front, but will be primarily served by two parking garages: one in the back behind building 6 (the only building currently completed) and one under the Whole Foods.
  16. My friend Michael had his car stolen last night, its a '94 Honda Del Sol, Red, with a sticker on the windshield that says KAZOKU, licence plate no. CG8 R241. If you see it, let me or him know immediately. My number is 713-206-7040. His number is 832-433-5858.
  17. Signs of progress! Over the past two days, they've erected a chain-link fence around the entire site. Looks like they are going to get some work started soon.
  18. Some updated pictures: Optometry building: Business building: Stadium garage (this thing is shooting up like crazy fast): Fleming lab building: Power Plant:
  19. I don't see how the parking is such a problem. It serves as a drop off area and provides a small amount of store-specific spots that couldn't be put in a garage. It doesn't affect the walkability of the development in any noticeable way.
  20. The Marquee West needs a lot of work. The railings seem to be 2x4s nailed to the walls haphazardly.
