Popular Post Triton Posted July 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2020 One cool thing I have not seen mentioned is that they are working on a paved path that forks from the Heights bike trail, travels under the trees, and drops you off at the new multi-family unit. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've mentioned this before. Glad to see they are doing this... It would have been an awful miss if they didn't incorporate the connection. I hope their developments has nice retail / food / drink options off the trail. I always find myself wanting a smoothie or refreshment when on walks or rides. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 First phase of Lower Heights mixed-use development nears completion Quote A 35,000-square-foot, two-story building with street-level retail and second-floor offices is being built out at 1440 Studemont. Houston-based Central Bank will have a 3,687-square-foot space in the western end cap of the first floor. Danny Miller represented Gulf Coast Commercial Group in the lease, and Joan Collum of Collum Commercial represented Central Bank. SheSpace, a women-focused coworking space new to Houston, will lease 6,000 square feet on the second floor. Bob Cromwell and Spencer Starkey of Moody Rambin represented Gulf Coast, and Brandi McDonald Sikes and Meredith Kelly of Limestone Commercial represented SheSpace.

Naviguessor Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Is it gravel or is it crushed granite? Big difference in the quality of the riding surface. If it is just a temporary fix, and it is crushed granite, then it's no big deal. I'd ride on the grass before I'd take my chances on the gravel. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever similar material you'd walk on at Memorial Park. Either way, I didn't have any issue biking it but I was on my gravel bike. 😅 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The city wants people to be able to commute on them but some of them don't feel so safe after sunset (which can be at early at 5-6 during winter).

hindesky Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 The south end of the granite trail is in pretty rough shape. I rode the northern part on my gravel bike and had no problems but I would be leery of riding it with skinny road tires. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Yeah that looks ok for runners but I wouldn't take a bike on that. Or at least not my bike. Maybe a bcycle with its chunky tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I totally skipped this part because it didn't look stable enough, even for my gravel bike too. The northern part is pretty smooth going to the Heights bike trial as you said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Lower Heights District (Houston) is no longer listed on Cinemark's upcoming theaters section. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems pretty dooming if Cinemark has an upcoming theater section and Lower Heights was there, and now is not. I was trying to find an excuse, but I don't think there is one other than the deal is dead. Bummer... I wonder if another theater would jump on this? It is probably tough times for theaters right now. I would love an Alamo Drafthouse / specialty theater here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the theaters right now are just fighting to stay afloat and most likely aren't even considering to expand until next year, if that. I looked at their upcoming theater list and it's been essentially wiped out. I'm assuming the ones that are on there are only there because they might already be under construction. Here is the link I am using if anyone is curious and/or wants to research the other locations they have planned to see if they were already close to or under construction: https://www.cinemark.com/grand-openings 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 LSI is doing civil work here. http://www.lsi-gc.com There is a SWPP sign that shows "Home Depot Building and Sitework". I could envision a Home Depot store taking up a lot of this area with their huge buildings and parking lot plus a detention pond. Hope I'm wrong. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerHerman13 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Oh, this will be so disappointing if it’s a Home Depot. If they decide to put one in hopefully it’s with a parking garage and other retail space and restaurants. Was really hoping for some more places to walk to from home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
