Highrise Tower Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I noticed Trees Inc was on the outer skirts of UT's 80-acres that they will develop. They cleared a path and cut down a few trees. I walked through a bamboo field to go see what's going on. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Tower upgrades this week. The UT system wants to relocate the tower to another part of the 307-acres. Can't wait for the water tower to be removed. Would love to see JLL marketing signs as well. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminare Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 5 hours ago, samagon said: it's harder to read than my own handwriting, but it says "cut, clean + maintain lot" I'm more amazed at how consistent the lettering is. This person has a very particular and specific way of writing. Look how each letter is slanted like Italics, and the slant is remarkably consistent for each letter and number. My handwriting is almost always different depending on how fast or slow I'm writing, or what I'm feeling at the moment. I'm never this consistent. Hats off to that dude.

Highrise Tower Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Google shows you some previous roads that were constructed. Or a path that was paved. This is located off West Bellfort, on Grand Fountains Drive by the town homes The Corner At Buffalo Pointe. Without knowing the road layout, I tried to hike it once. The woods and brush was too much to navigate. I would have needed a machete to chop down small shrubs and tree branches. I also made it near the wet lands, the body of water on the left side. There looked to be some type of automotive tracks now that I recall. Like a small train running through the area? Can't find the tracks at the moment but here's the wet lands. I wonder what company made the body of water? I don't think that's natural. If the proposed TMC BioPort gets underway, and hundred of acres of Bio Technology get developed, I can imagine something similar happening here. A Boston company entering the Houston market and grabbing the 307-Acres? Alexandria Real Estate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Does anyone know what is going on with the street lights around UT's developable 80-acres? The land surrounded by Willowbend, Buffalo Speedway, and West Bellfort. This getting beyond tiring! The street lights are owned by the city I assume? Can CenterPoint Energy not fix this within a weeks time? Why is this such a waste land? Did the University of Texas System stop paying their utility bills? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Looks like the Texas Medical Center asked the federal government for Coronavirus Relief Funds to build the TMC BioPort. At one time, there was talks to buy state-owned property. I assume the state-owned property in question was University of Texas' 307-Acres on Holmes Road & Buffalo Speedway? The first TMC BioPort master plan included the bulk of UT's land on Holmes Road. Very cool!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
