CincoRanch-HoustonResident Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 Just look at the Demographies and see how big the Katy area really is. Even the 5 mile radius is huge, and imagine if it was all in Katy City Limits, that would be great, but later Houston will annex it, but that is getting of the subject. Indigo Earth will be a great thing for the Katy area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbaNerd Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Yeah, I agree. Houston has excellent Suburbs, and it is tough to choose between Sugarland, The Woodlands, and katy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincoRanch-HoustonResident Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 Don't forget about Pearland, and Baytown is starting to sprout. Then look at Kingwood and the Humble area. Many places to choose from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talbot Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 It's that waterpark/aquarium i was talking about before the forums crashed.A Houston developer is planning a large complex that could anchor a marine aquarium, an indoor-outdoor water park and other entertainment features just east of the city of Katy. The Indigo Earth venture, billed as a "Houston entertainment oasis," is slated for 67 acres on the north side of the Katy Freeway, between Fry and Mason roads. According to Shawn Ackerman, vice president of Henry S. Miller Commercial, a statewide real estate broker, it's going to have an aquarium that will be 1.2 million gallons. By comparison, Moody Gardens in Galveston has 1.5 million gallons of salt water tanks. In addition to the aquatic features, the $150 million enterprise could include other attractions such as a skateboard park, a 3-D IMAX theater and 240,000 square feet of retail shops and restaurants. Although the developer would like to begin construction in May, it's probably more realistic to expect bulldozers to arrive on the site a month or two later. The developer expects the project's location to be enhanced once the Westgreen overpass on the Katy freeway is completehttp://recenter.tamu.edu/mreports02/houston16.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UrbaNerd Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Cool! It looks like something Fertitta would do, just a tad less gimicky! ( Landry's is cool, though ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Hizzy! Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 All theve done so far is a small little building but this thing is going to be nice.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>You're confusing the Gardens at Westgreen development with the Indigo Earth project. They are completely seperate projects. No dirt has turned yet on Indigo Earth while the Gardens at @ Westgreen project is well underway and will likely be completed in either December or the first quarter of 2005.The Gardens @ WestgreenAlso,Initial tenants will include Slick Willie's, Tokyohana Grill and Sushi Bar, Berryhill and the Swig bar.
