Marcus Allen Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Wow! Did Sunday in the Park at the Woodlands this weekend, listening to local band EZ Money. Saw Hughes Landing development, Exxon Mobile campus and Grand Parkway development. Good grief! I hadn't been that way in Over six months and had no idea how things are moving along. By the by, what is the highrise almost finished on I45 near the GP connection? I was trying to see the sign, but it was raining when I was arriving and was too dark when I left. Oh, and a general question, I know that earlier ordinances dictated that all trees removed in a development had to be replaced. Is this still the case with all those big ass commercial developments? I was just wondering. Oh and the view of the water at that park reminded me of The Hamptons or Laguna Gloria in Austin. Fantastic. I am proud of Houston, and metro areas, but sort of like to keep these venues a local secret so we don't become as dense as LA. LoL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bachanon Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 the building near the grand parkway intersection is SWN Energy. There is a thread with several construction pictures. I can see Hughes Landing and Exxon from our offices. Hughes Landing and CB&I have 9 cranes up right now. Also, there are flyovers under construction at 242 and I-45 just north of Town Center. The traffic is getting really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boounce Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Here's a nice aerial for you... http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/blog/breaking-ground/2014/03/exclusive-the-woodlands-as-you-have-never-seen-it.html Is traffic really that bad? Even with all the pipeline construction, it's nothing like Houston. The Rayford corridor and Oak Ridge (both not The Woodlands) is a complete mess, and Research Forest gets backed up going N. at rush hour. Other than that, traffic moves quite well in my experience. My overall gripe is that road infrastructure should support TW as a city rather than as a destination to Houston. There should be radials outward from town center to the East side and overpasses that go North on Research Forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Allen Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Saw the video. Again, WOW!, a lot going on there. That 2k acre site that Johnson Corp is developing has me curious. Again, though, replacement of the flora removed? How will that be handled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what portion of this land is in the flood zone, but the smell of cut pine is coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
