SkylineView Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 How does this process work? They don't own these properties. Some of the warehouses along 610 in option 3 already got cut in half by the 610/290/10 work... and just rebuilt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose1100 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Connecting it to the NW transit center is certainly a start. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate4l1f3 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Did they say how exactly they’re connecting this to Downtown? A 90 minute ride turns into a 120 minute ride if you have to hope on a bus or Uber to DT. I’m just really bitter this doesn’t go directly DT. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllenOlenska Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I live in on 18th Street, so I have a little dream about a LTR going up 18th to the center of the Heights. Maybe it would become a more urban satellite. Some of my neighbors might reject. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link to Downtown is another billion or more dollars with very little benefit. There's also no real route to go to Downtown without having to impact a neighborhood. There oculd be a connector running down I-10, but it wouldn't be suitable for HSR given the number of turns required. 30 minutes ago, EllenOlenska said: I live in on 18th Street, so I have a little dream about a LTR going up 18th to the center of the Heights.

I don't think you could reasonably get a single line on it, and it would be a hazard for neighborhood children. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what's the purpose of the structure at 610 and Hempstead? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that they will throw money at all 3, and see which one they can actually buy for the least amount of cash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is at least 5 years out of date. Quote The 290/I-10/I-610 interchange, at which Northwest Mall is located, is undergoing a massive ~$3B redevelopment plan to improve connectivity and traffic flow, and will be completed in late 2017.

The parcel appears to have been sold by an entity affiliated with Levcor back in 2020: Edit: I do see vendor’s lien language in this warranty deed. Financing to the entity affiliated with Texas Central was provided by Frost Bank judging by a deed of trust from November 2021.
