editor Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 The article says groundbreaking in May. Did it happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 There's nothing going on at the site. Once in a while there's a bulldozer sitting there but it's part of the I-10 expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Hizzy! Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I wonder if they're delaying construction until that section of the Katy Freeway is complete (they still need to finish the eastbound main, HOV and toll lanes plus reconstruct the feeder roads).

ArchitecturalPRGirl Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I wonder if they're delaying construction until that section of the Katy Freeway is complete (they still need to finish the eastbound main, HOV and toll lanes plus reconstruct the feeder roads).Don't quote me on this, but I think that parcel of land is next to or right near the new 34 story medical tower that's under construction and owned by MetroNational. They may have scrapped this project and went the medical route. I mean, it would be awful living there with ambulances, Katy freeway traffic and the mall all in one condensed area. This is purely speculation though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumapayam Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Is there a thread for the this Memorial City condo project? I couldn't find it. Yeah, there is one existing, I remember we talked about how it was supposed to have retail on the first floor and later on it was removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdude Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 merge material moderatorThis thread makes sense on its own. The other one looks like general Memorial City Mall and surroundings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I wonder if this project is still a go. We did basically all the Memorial Hermann POBs and MOBs over there and Memorial City Mall, but this one is definitely not our's. You couln't pay me to live there! I think I would kill myself if I had to deal with that every day. Maybe Drs and RNs would live there. That would make sense.

ChannelTwoNews Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I drove by the site earlier in the evening and saw two bulldozers on the cleared land, and also saw the sign which mentioned a model condo unit in the Dillards at Memorial City Mall. Anything like that in the store at this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChannelTwoNews Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I actually stopped into the sales office in the mall earlier today. Pretty nice setup they have and the full-scale unit isn't too shabby either, although it does seem a bit less polished in comparison to a few of the other offices or demo units I've seen for a few other projects as of late. I was also provided a folder of various floorplans for the units, but not much else. Supposedly, the actual prices will be available within the next month, but that sounds like a line that's been used on other potential buyers before. Finally, it looked like they want to build an 11 story office building that will be constructed adjacent to the condo, with the primary tenant being Cemex Concrete. At least, according to the site map I was shown in the office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc281 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I just cant imagine anyone wanting to live there. somehow even Town & Country is more appealing than thisThis whole area is really going to be rather awesome.

Vaughan Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I just cant imagine anyone wanting to live there. somehow even Town & Country is more appealing than thisOr not.I'm not sure what the difference would be between east of Memorial City and Town & Country, or, for that matter, between the apartments that people currently live in east of Memorial City and the condo development that will be one block away from the apartments. The noise from the ambulances can barely be heard over there, if at all. The freeway noise is no different than at any number of other condo developments in town.

Ethanra Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I think this project finally broke ground. Trailers were on the site and they were leveling the dirt and making markings.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpringShadows Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I think this project finally broke ground. Trailers were on the site and they were leveling the dirt and making markings....Yep, they started abour a week ago. Many trailers have been added to the lot and they broke ground within 2 days of that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Hizzy! Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I saw it last week and was cautiously optimistic that they were finally moving forward. I wonder if the delay had anything to do with my earlier theory that they were waiting for some of the heavier construction on I-10 and the feeder roads to subside?

ChannelTwoNews Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 This one is indeed moving along. Yesterday, there was a smaller crane assembling pieces around the base of what should be a large tower crane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I-10 is exploding with development... I was on the freeway Monday and counted 12 cranes from Memorial City to the Energy Corridor, and that's not counting the four or so that have come down recently from completed projects.

McMansions are really in full production as well, that can be good and bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
