Purdueenginerd Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I feel a bit bad for that little house thats going to remain on the corner.... Very Disneys' Up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatesdisastr Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 It reminds me of the house that lives next to The Bullet roller coaster down in Kemah. They refused to sell out to Tilman Ferttita so everyday they hear the clicks of the coaster, and the screams of its riders. Sticking it to the man.

Purdueenginerd Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 "Not sure if this is an add on as it is across the street from the main development:" I'm pretty sure that's a mock up for the field crews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skwatra Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I was curious on what they were doing with that tract of land across from the main build. i thought it was just staging but from kdog's picture and from what i remember last week, it looks like they may actually be building something there.

Phase IV. But what that picture is, Im pretty sure it's a mock up for phase III (its been there since the start of the project). 2 different brick schemes, different paint schemes, insulation installation procedure, no foundation, etc....

They said they had some opposition to Phase IV so they decided to sit on that option for a little, but I think they still plan on building there. There is another thread with renderings.

DrLan34 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) Check out the sidewalk behind the white house. Will be small unfortunately, probably because it backs up to the lady's property line.They are 5' wide and they make a point to go around the electical pole, so it will be 5' throughout.

lockmat Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Cool. But I don't foresee a big reason to walk down that sidewalk anyway, except for those living in that new complex. Everyone else will need to use the one across the street or cross illegally down at the end of the complex once that block terminates.

kbates2 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 You will probably need that sidewalk to get to the new retail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyM Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Love this project, I walk my dogs by here a few nights a week and it's been awesome seeing the transformation over the last few months. They're really getting close now. Wish we had some insight on potential tenants for the anchor retail spot at the Gray/Webster fork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I don't like the architecture as much as other parts of Midtown Square, but I do like the fact that it has got ground level retail. It's hard to complain when these guys are the only people adding retail in a new apartment building in Houston right now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLan34 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I spoke with Post. They said plans for this lot have been on hold since they are concentrating their resources on bigger projects. They still plan to do something with the lot and a few different proposals have been passed around. It seems they have not received variance approval on the original plans.I guess this could mean it could be housing, retail, plaza, etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbates2 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Anybody hear if they have any movement on the retail spots below the new Post section. It looks ready to go.I am also wondering what is going on with the newly renovated, empty Scout Square building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdog08 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Per the article^The mixed-use development's first phase, which was completed in 1999...Phase three brings Post Midtown to a grand total of 643 units and more than 48,000 square feet of ground floor retail.Not too bad and only took ~13 years to complete all 3 phases. Not to mention similar projects nearby completing 2nd or 3rd phases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyM Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Per the article^Not too bad and only took ~13 years to complete all 3 phases. Not to mention similar projects nearby completing 2nd or 3rd phases.Thing is that aren't any "similar projects nearby". Nobody else is really giving mixed-use a shot.I'd say they've built out at an acceptable pace given the economic conditions of 2007-2010.

Nobody else is really giving mixed-use a shot.I'd say they've built out at an acceptable pace given the economic conditions of 2007-2010.I get your point. Personally I'm less concerned about mixed use than getting a higher residential critical mass in midtown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
