I actually do think that's a really good candidate. Not sure if people's knowledge of the current one will have anything to do with it's success. I guess there are plenty of Woodlands residents that work downtown. I mean shoot, I know the current one is close to downtown, but it is kinda located in the "middle of urban nowhere." If it can succeed there, I hope it can in TW too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, does anyone know where to park for that location besides the on-street parking? If anyone in TW knows anything about kim son, I think they'll make that effort. And if they are open late, what a perfect spot to go to after a concert? I also wonder if they will change the architecture at all, or if TW will even let them.

bachanon Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Real Estate BIS Now reports that the final two retail spaces are spoken for at 24 Waterway Avenue. The two spots are to be a bar and a restaurant. One remaining spot is next door to Hubbell and Hudson on Lake Robbins near the parking garage entrance and the other is the last section of Sirenuse not occupied by (the not yet opened) Yucatan Taco Stand. article (I wonder if he is referring to The Exchange and Yucatan Taco Stand.....not the last two spaces available.)The Woodlands Township has agreed to spend several hundred thousand dollars upgrading The Woodlands first community park, Sawmill Park. No doubt this is due to the luxury apartments being built on the WAC (Woodlands Athletic Center) site nearby. articleA rumor is out that Trader Joe's is coming to The Woods; however, culturemap reports that they are considering the endangered historic Alabama Theater in the loop as well.

swtsig Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 there are several 300K+ SF build-to-suit office buildings in the works... 3, potentially 4, just off the top of my head. not all in town center necessarily, but in and around the woodlands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bachanon Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 So would the condo tower replace what is presently the pay garage for Waterway Square?no. the condo tower has a small floor plate and is between the garage and waterway square. the area is an empty lot right now. lockmat is correct to think it may not happen. if the market changes in a way that would support a different development here, the woodlands could certainly change direction; however, the renderings of the condo project continue to be posted on the recently update developer website.

bachanon Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 that area is either included in or adjacent to the location of the proposed transit terminal and parking garage at six pines and lake robbins. in that map, you can see the location of the proposed performing arts center too (although not identified).

All that is indicated is street level retail, in which the tower would be mixed use. Unless there is official word it's scrapped, or another development will take its place perhaps?I can definitely see a market for it... Rich Woodlanders who prefer high rise living that is within walking distance of Waterway Square, the Mall and Market Street. (Although this kind of defeats the overall purpose of living in the woodlands...you know, that whole home in the woods feel thing).I see a Luxury Hotel on that pdf also... Seems a bit redundant with the Marriott a stones throw away, but I guess if they are going to build it it's because there is a market for it.Exciting stuff, especially the garage not being just a garage anymore. I frequently visit this area most weekends, as Grimaldi's has become a new favorite pizza place (when the wait isn't two hours) and Coal Burger my new favorite burger. Now those make you go Mmmmmmmmmm.And where would another Anadarko building be built, if it is a building of similar size regardless if it is a twin or not?
