Urbannizer Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 This will not be a low rise retail development. Htxjack did say the person who called back from the city said it'll be "a little bit of everything" and it clearly states mixed-use in the MMD meeting minutes. Edit: I remember Crosspoint Properties originally proposed The Mix as more than just a three story building. A high-rise and lots of retail was planned as well but was nixed-likely due to the 08 recession. Also of note, the Pearl mid-rises by The Morgan Group carry "the mix" moniker. 08' Chron article: http://m.chron.com/business/sarnoff/article/Midtown-revitalization-draws-retail-development-1610517.php Quote One of Midtown's largest landholders has revealed plans for a nearly five-block real estate development around the intersection of Elgin and Louisiana.

This experience-driven project will be programmed with a tenant mix that draws consumers near and far, while seamlessly positioning 150,000+ square feet of retail as an amenity for the office users and multi-family dwellers in the development. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollusk Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 They couldn't come up with a newer picture of downtown from the south? Based on the lack of One Park Place, this one's at least ten years old. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollusk Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 As duly noted in your earlier post. It's amazing a) how much older construction had been scraped off by then with nothing on the radar to replace it, and b) how much new construction has taken place in the last decade. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstontexasjack Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Interesting. Density begets density. Target’s not a particularly sexy retail tenant, but these types of stores are necessary to promote a fully walkable neighborhood. I remember treks on foot to an underground Bed, Bath, and Beyond across from the Lincoln Center in undergrad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajgallion Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 At least a CityTarget would be great! This is greatly needed in Midtown. The nearest discount dept store is the Target or Walmart in the Heights. It’s a little annoying having to drive 2 miles away to get everyday needs. With the new Whole Foods in Midtown, I am hoping we start to see more of these “everyday” retail markets that are truely walkable, even if they aren’t considered “sexy”. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's more scary than the Walmart in the Heights. the one on Wayside might be a little farther, but it is much easier to get to. I know the SO will be excited about Target opening a store in midtown. the Midtown Sears no one remembered was there was never really a great option for this kind of store.

H-Town Man Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 This rendering looks very conceptual. If they actually had a lease with Target, I think it would be more prominently rendered. I think early renderings of 609 Main showed an Apple store on the ground floor. Let's not uncork the wine bottles yet. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks it has to be this way, but parking is a good quick flip on the property until you start something. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 At least this means it will be more presentable. This block def needs some serious TLC. When I worked at Adcetera across the street, I frequently saw workers coming in and out of the small building on the property clearing it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
