Visitor Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Excited the HEB is open, but I'm more anxious to hear about phase II and the larger plan for both the remaining Archstone apartments and the area between HEB and Gordy & Sons. On the Buffalo Heights site they reference "Outdoor enthusiasts, anglers, and explorers will love trekking through the incredible adventure gear and outerwear at ultra-luxe, Gordy & Sons Outfitters" At this point Gordy & Sons IS a trek from HEB, hoping the goal is to fully redevelop the block(s) between Waugh and Yale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife and I are coming to the conclusion that it's probably even better than the Heights location. Feels like it might have a bigger selection and maybe it's just the layout but it feels larger than the Heights location too. Feels a little bit more like a Whole Foods in there with all the signage and everything inside. My only problem is that it is incredibly cold in there. Like, you can tell everyone is freezing in there and all the employees wear jackets. They need to turn it up just a tad bit in there. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdueenginerd Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Hows the traffic in and out of there? The HEB in the north heights was a hot mess when it opened, and at times difficult to get in and out of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are cops directing and restricting certain turns in the afternoons. I just wonder how long that will continue. Raymond St. at S. Heights is the newest frogger challenge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think the Washington location is my new favorite because it feels like they really pulled out all the stops to make this one feel special. I still like how the Montrose one fits in with the neighborhood and the large oak trees but these stores are just different. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablog Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 18 hours ago, Avossos said: this would be wonderful. I can imagine it won’t be easy getting funding for this now. Pros: Extremely low interest rates, government wants this kind of investment to continue so the economy doesn’t tank, by the time this finishes construction the virus (hopefully) will be gone. Cons: Extremely high risk, we don’t know what the hell is going on, retailers, corporations, and buyers have stopped investment. personally, I would invest, but I only got $1,000 dollars to 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angostura Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Commercial MBS markets are completely frozen. Commercial leaseholders will struggle to make lease payments, which means property owners and developers will struggle to make loan payments, which impairs the associated commercial MBS assets. For the most part, banks and other holders have foregone margin calls, and Fed is backstopping, but don't hold your breath for new funding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you rather Google not set up an office here? An office is an office. And as they get their foot in the door, they’ll expand their presence even more over time. I expect an office in the Innovation District. Edited June 17, 2020 by j_cuevas713 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the Houston Business Journal: ". . . with the pandemic and the resulting economic impacts, we are taking a wait-and-see approach on next steps based on what market demands will look like as people resume their post-Covid lifestyles,” the company said. BKR Memorial said the next phase of the project will include additional residential units, as well as Class A offices, retail and restaurants, all centered around pedestrian walkways and a central green space. Other uses, including hospitality and entertainment, are being considered for future phases, the company said. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skooljunkie Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Unrelated but nearby...I spotted survey stakes around the nearly 1-acre property with the small office building at 300 Jackson Hill. If redeveloped, a tower here would be surrounded by parks and have incredible views of DT, UK, and Uptown...and also the AIG building heh. Maybe it's nothing though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
