jhjones74 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I noticed that portions of the lot at 1319 Texas had recently been repaved. Seems weird to repave a lot that's going to be demolished soon. Wonder if things have gotten delayed significantly 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The street level will house an approximately 3,000-square-foot Urban Street Market grocery store with a deli, coffee and bistro on the corner of Texas and Austin, across from the Catalyst high-rise and 1414 Texas Downtown mid-rise apartments. "There’s a lack of grocery store options in this part of downtown," Momin said. "This valuable addition to the downtown area perfectly complements the surrounding community and the extended stay Staybridge Suite Hotel situated at our location." 15 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyt36 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 HBJ mentions this hotel will "replace" the existing Holiday Inn Express on Bell St--don't know if that means it will be closing completely or rebranded. “This is a great location, within walking distance of Minute Maid Park, the George R. Brown Convention Center and Main Street,” Momin said. “There are only a handful of dual-branded hotels downtown, and we will be replacing another Holiday Inn Express on Bell Street that is over 20 years old. So, it’s going to be great for visitors to Houston, who have brand loyalty and are members of our rewards program.” Dual-branded Holiday Inn Express, Staybridge Suites to break ground in downtown Houston - Houston Business Journal (bizjournals.com) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convenience store, not grocery store. Definitely needed, regardless. I'll take it. More choice is often better. I love Phoenicia, but would also like an option that isn't themed on a particular region. Sometimes you need 19 types of olive oil. Sometimes you just need toilet paper. Unfortunately, District Market doesn't cut it. I went there recently, and for two basic turkey sandwiches and a can of coffee beans, it wants almost $70. I walked out. I went back a week later because I needed coffee creamer, and everything else walkable (Phoenicia, CVS, GhettoMart, SuperGhettoMart) was closed. It turns out the pricing wasn't a fluke. 32oz half-and-half (HEB) from HEB: $2.70 32oz half-and-half (Sysco) from District Market: $9.74 Yes, I just looked up my receipt, and $9.74 is not an exaggeration. I don't mind paying a premium for the convenience of location and the hours District Market keeps, but a 260% difference is not reasonable. I guess that's why in two years of walking past, I've only seen maybe six people in that place. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jhjones74 Posted September 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2023 Fencing put up around the lot, with an excavator now sitting inside as well. Looks like this will begin shortly! I’m a bit surprised they didn’t wait until the Astros season ended to close the parking lot. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosFeliz Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Astros are 3-16 in last 19 at Minute Maid. Their season will be ending soon! Just kidding but get it together, Stros. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
