wxman Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 There is a lot on the N. bound side of 45 just inside the beltway that has been cleared now for a couple of weeks. The lot gigantic. You could fit several highrises in it. Does anybody know?*I tried to find the other thread about this, but couldn't.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Marty Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I remember reading about something like this in a early 80's newspaper that i have somewhere, they wanted to build a another mall just inside the beltway @ I-45 but on the south bound side.

tigereye Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 [uPDATE] Signs are up on the Imperial Valley side of the site stating that this will be an office park....and from the size of the site, a very large office park indeed. The sites boundaries are Greens Bayou to the North, Aldine Bender Rd. to the South, Imperial Valley Dr. to the East, and I-45 to the West...that's a lot of urban forestry...lost! Also, it looks like Airline Drive is being extended through the office park (under construction) to connect to Greenspoint Drive, givin all the Nawf'-side gang-bangers easier access to the soon-to-be redeveloped Greenspoint Mall. Hooray!!!No links to back this up, but heck, drive by the site....you'll see what Im referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxman Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 Ok, I found an article that tells the tale of what is going on at Greenspoint. It will be a new 1.3 million sq. ft office/warehouse park. This will also be complete with several beautification projects including a fancy pedestrian bridge.Also in the article, renovations at Greenspoint Mall will begin next month. The plans have been finalized and work is ready to begin. It will change names and be complete with a waterway (like The Woodlands), resturants, lofts, and parks.http://www.greenspoint.org/ExportedSite/Ma...%20Activity.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgriff Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 The company I work for just bought out a company that's office was in the Greenspoint area. The stories I heard from the people who had to go over there were not good at all. We moved them into our main office as soon as we could because most of our employees were very uncomfortable with the area. When white collar workers don't feel safe (rightly or wrongly) they're going to have a hard time selling the area. Hopefully this project will be able to overcome the reputation that Greenspoint has.

Hopefully this project will be able to overcome the reputation that Greenspoint has.Greenspoint's chief competitive advantage has always been proximity to IAH and its location at the major highway junction. That hasn't gone away....but its vacancy rate isn't as low as other office submarkets, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockmat Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Is this the spot? It's the only place I could see where it looked like Greenspoint Dr. could be extended like the website says it will be. I know I've seen construction goin on there, but it just looks like a warehouse.http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=U...mp;t=h&z=16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 Well, I meant the mall in particular. They are supposed to completely redo the mall to make it resemble The Woodlands. They are supposed to have all kinds of resturants around the perifery. Also they will have abunch of water features with a possible riverwalk.

wxman Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Here's an update from the Spring Observer. It appears that the mall renovation will take place in the next few months. They have finalized the design and are waiting on one single tenant. http://www.hcnonline.com/site/news.cfm?new...35644&rfi=6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonmacbro Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Cool. I live in that area and I am glad to see this finally coming together. I am really interested in where these parks are as I don't think we have enough up this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfre81 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Maybe they should consider abandoning the "Greenspoint" name wholesale for the entire area. The mall, the business district, everything. People are always going to call it "Gunspoint" even if it became the next River Oaks overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonmacbro Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Well, I like the name Greenspoint. I think it is going to be a big marketing job to overcome the stigma, but if they build it, people will come.I used to think this area was 'so' far out, but now it seems absolutely reasonable distance from downtown. In fact, on a good day, I can get to downtown in about 20-22 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfre81 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 It has no impact on me personally - I don't go into Greenspoint Mall much, not because I feel "unsafe" there or anything but because I haven't stayed anywhere close to there in a long while and I'm not much of a mall kinda guy anyway. Last time I was in there was maybe 2001 or so.But I'm thinking more of the collective psyche on that whole area....that shooting at the mall recently didn't help things although that would've happened anywhere that girl worked, be it Greenspoint or the Galleria.

I doubt it would have happened at the Galleria (inside), but possibly he would have waited to attack her in the parking lot or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
