kylejack Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 This serves the midtown market too with the proximity. There will not be one in Regent Square AND one in Midtown. It's not necessarily impossible. In Austin, Ritz and Lamar locations are closer than that to each other. Lamar's currently closed for renovations, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 No, the article says they're looking at other locations in Midtown. Sounds like 2901 Louisiana is canceled. No argument there. The poster implied that they were opening in Regent Square instead of Louisiana. I only wanted to clarify that is not the case. The apparent 2901 Louisiana cancellation is entirely independent from and unrelated to the new Regent Square location. This serves the midtown market too with the proximity. There will not be one in Regent Square AND one in Midtown. So, you know more about it than the Alamo spokesman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rci2145 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 "Reviewing alternate sites." I wonder if that means they have given up on the Louisiana location completely or if they are just looking to see if another site might be better.

Apparently not. Are they doing Regent's Square? Apparently so. Will there be another Midtown Alamo? Since the Louisiana one is canceled, we'll not know if and until they announce finding a new location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortune Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 In this HBJ article it seems like there will be a Alamo location still in Midtown just not at the first announced location on Louisiana.http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2013/02/14/houston-to-get-thrid-inner-loop-alamo.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 So let me get this straight, theres still gonna be a midtown location and a Regent Square location? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatesdisastr Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 So let me get this straight, theres still gonna be a midtown location and a Regent Square location? Regent Square location is a certainty, but Midtown is up in the air and uncertain at this point in time.

j_cuevas713 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Well after reading the article, I think there is certainty of a midtown location, just not exactly where it was originally announced on Louisiana. So we're gonna have two Alamo Drafthouses in two different neighborhoods relatively close to one another. This is gonna be something to watch.

Why open two locations that close to each other when they are so underdeveloped in the market? My guess is that they will quietly announce that the midtown location fell through a couple of months from now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intencity77 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I heard Crosspoint and Alamo Drafthouse couldn't make the "numbers work" so Alamo walked away from the project and is currently searching for an alternate site in Midtown. Meanwhile, Crosspoint is currently looking for a similar concept as replacement for the Alamo Drafthouse to anchor their Louisiana development.

samagon Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I fully expect there will be a movie theater in midtown similar in concept to Alamo. I also have my doubts that Alamo is going to be the one at this point. Yes, the article says they are reviewing other options for midtown, but they could just be saying that for the people who even knew they were planning a location to let them down easy, as it were. especially since they are planning another one so close (even though it's not as easy to get there from midtown).

rci2145 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I'm really dissapointed. This was the best news I had heard since I moved to Midtown 6 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLan34 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) This may be a waste of your time... I e-mailed Crosspoint regarding this development and of course they were very tight lipped about anything in the works.   Here is the response: "Unfortunately I cannot disclose anything at this point other than we are working on a new project and hope to have something more definitive in the next few months." I'm not sure if this means nothing or something but it seems strange that the Alamo Drafthouse was rendered, announced, etc and then fell through, unless Crosspoint had a realistic 2nd option for the development.

DrLan34 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) Per a recent HBJ article: http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2013/05/09/midtown-development-slideshow.html?s=image_gallery "Alamo DrafthouseOwner: Austin-based Triple Tap Ventures LLC The skinny: The company first announced an inner-Loop location at 2901 Louisiana St. last year. However, construction at that site hasn't gotten underway, and Triple Tap CEO Neil Michaelsen told Houston Business Journal in February the company is "reviewing alternate sites in Midtown for an Alamo and is committed to bringing the concept to that market." I guess HBJ still thinks this might come to Midtown...

fatesdisastr Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I wonder if it will take them just as long as it did from proposal till final completion as it seems the first Pearl will take. Such a slow process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
