HNathoo Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 This lot is owned by Golconda Ventures (Taiwanese Oil Co). I would be shocked if this was anything other than a parking lot. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there really sufficient demand for parking at that location to justify even this expense? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the rates are for the garage next to Toyota Center, but a surface lot is bound to be cheaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems a little odd that after all these years, they would NOW decide to turn it into a parking lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HNathoo Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 There would be very little demand for this lot, even pre-pandemic, it's just not really close enough to the demand generators. Maybe someone is renting from them for a staging area on an adjacent construction site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 Talked with the guy at the top of the first pic, he said it was going to be a parking lot. Saw several drains which to me confirms this. It's only 1 block away from the southeast corner of Toyota Center. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to see more truegrid in residential and smaller parking lots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The limestone rock is too impervious to handle rain and paving it will resolve that issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
