Gary Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I was driving East on I-10 yesterday, and noticed what looked to be a huge parking garage on the north side, between Blalock and Bingle. It looks to already be 5 stories with the crane still in place, and I'd estimate it's length about 300'. The reason I bring it up, is that it's in a strange place for something that large. There's virtually nothing around it, and it's setback about 300 or 400 yards. Anyone have a clue? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gto250us Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 C'mon guy's, someones go to know what this is. Anybody?That garage is beyond, north of the the old Daniels Factory, on Bunker Hill. There is a Bunker Hill Business Park back there and also SBISD Elementry School. I dont think those kids drive much so it must be for the business park.

The Great Hizzy! Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I thought I read in either the HBJ or the Chronicle a few months back that a retail center was to go on the cleared land just south of the parking garage and that that section of Bunker Hill Blvd was going to be widened.Maybe the parking garage is in anticipation of the retail center?

Larger than anything at Memorial City Mall, so I don't know what kind of retail would need one so large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducks Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 It's for the apartment complex it's adjacent to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieDidIt Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 It's for the apartment complex it's adjacent to.That might be it. I think Centerpoint is building a hub on that side too. Might be a little west of this, but that was my other thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducks Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 ya thats what i thought. complex looks pretty run down though. the garage is massive so i had wondered about other uses as well......The complex is brand new (within the last 6 months).It's essentially across Bunker Hill from Costco.
