nativehoustonion Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Went to Little Pappasitos of Richmond and Kirby and they said they lost there lease. Walked to Office Depot and Supercuts they said the whole lot will be torn down! They just have till the end of the year. Urbannizer or Subdue have you heard anything? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWW Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Yep, this 3.7 something acre site has already been under contract for a bit, now. Dean Patrinely - Patrinely Group - has the entire site tied up. For redevelopment. Residential, no surprise. Over 200$/ft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naviguessor Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Bound to happen. If not now... Soon. Little Pappasitos would certainly relocate nearby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctaf Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) I love that lil pappasitos, and it was converted from an old gas station, at least that's what I was toldWould the university line go past this location, if built?

swtsig Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Pappasitos, Luna, fat bao, sushi king... All popular spots and pappasitos, Luna and bao are all awesome. Really hope they find spaces nearby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naviguessor Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Ha. Was never much of a sushi king fan either, swtsig. At least there are several mixed use projects with retail u/c or planned in the immediate vicinity. Kirby Collection, Levy Park, West Ave Phase III, and maybe the those office building around the corner of 59 & Kirby. Wasn't there also a large project at the SW corner of Shepherd & W.Alabama discussed some time ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonIsHome Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Something needs to be done about the traffic on kirby though. Sheppard gets congested too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Vik Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Yes we need to add bike lanes and the university line, those two things would help a lot. If there are alternatives and people still insist on driving oh well deal with the consequences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Unfortunately the University Line won't be coming down this far.. Culberson is forcing it to turn south off Richmond/out of his district before Shepherd.. Assuming it ever sees the light of day.So this will likely be more mid-rise apartments/maybe a west ave style development? I was hoping for a mixed use with high-rises.

SkylineView Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Eh? Pretty sure it goes out on Richmond through here before cutting south west of Greenway plaza... or am I lost? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Yes we need to add bike lanes and the university line, those two things would help a lot. If there are alternatives and people still insist on driving oh well deal with the consequences. No, we don't. It's far easier to get around by car when those pesky rail lines aren't using up valuable road space. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metro West Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) People who use bike lanes in car oriented urban environments need to be placed in institutions where they are no longer a threat to public safety or to themselves.

cloud713 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Eh? Pretty sure it goes out on Richmond through here before cutting south west of Greenway plaza... or am I lost? well that was the plan after '08 or whenever the Afton Oaks debacle was. but a few months ago Culberson said federal funding wouldnt be allowed for light rail ANYWHERE in his district. which includes parts of both the University Line and the Uptown Line.. Richmond west of Shepherd, and Post Oak. unless they move forward with a BRT system down that same path on Richmond before crossing at Cummins then its looking like METRO will be forced to cross 59 east of Shepherd and run the light rail along their Westpark ROW for most of the way. People who use bike lanes in car oriented urban environments need to be placed in institutions where they are no longer a threat to public safety or to themselves. Driving in Houston without killing anyone is hard enough!i cant tell if you are being facetious or if you are serious. unfortunately i think you are serious, in which case i cant disagree more. if more people rode bikes instead of cluttering the streets with one person in a giant 2 ton vehicle, then maybe traffic (and pollution) wouldnt be such a madhouse in this city and it wouldnt be so dangerous to navigate on foot or on bike. you are advocating for less people walk/bike and more people drive? ughh.. as for being a threat to public safety.. you have that all backwards. its the vehicles who are a threat to public safety of the bicyclists..

HoustonIsHome Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 When I talked about congession I was actually taking about kirby itself, but Richmond. Didn't mean to spark a rail on Richmond vs Culberson debate. In addition to upgrades for Richmond, kirby needs help too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Vik Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 No, we don't. It's far easier to get around by car when those pesky rail lines aren't using up valuable road space.There are parallel roads, deal with itPeople who use bike lanes in car oriented urban environments need to be placed in institutions where they are no longer a threat to public safety or to themselves. Driving in Houston without killing anyone is hard enough!That's why we need more bike lanes and trails 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bachanon Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Uncivil discourse will be removed. Please use the Off-Topic threads to rant or go off. A simple statement of fact is all that would be necessary to make a point. Cursing politicians and "going off" is not appropriate here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A simple statement of fact is all that would be necessary to make a point. Cursing politicians and "going off" is not appropriate here. Thank goodness, as well it should. Earlier, someone pretending to be a moderator "went off" on a rant about a comment regarding development off Richmond/Kirby. They cursed me, called me a fool…just “went off” on several commenters, and was Off-Topic saying nothing about development at Richmond/Kirby. Anyway, good comment, and glad things are on track along Richmond and Kirby. Houston’s definitely on track: full speed ahead…ain’t no stopping us now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminare Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 The strip center is lot of commercial lost...will there be a retail component at all? That's what I'm wondering. You would think with the developments going up across the street that this would be in mind. I remember there being a post about Office Max or which ever store like that is in that strip center (can't seem to remember) was starting to downsize their stores overall so maybe that was a contributing factor to this? I know it was the largest tenant in that strip center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
