Yeah, given the desirability of the Galleria (though I just left the area) and property values, everything built here on in will be high end. It's only a matter of time before the two complexes on Yorktown are knocked down for something pricier.

Wow, with that and the arts center it will make midtown pretty sweet and really clean it up.

Put on your big boy panties. Did you get robbed? Mugged? Raped? Pistol whipped? I am amazed you are alive to tell the tale of walking Main St. at 1 am. I don't need to "take a drive down there." I live there. I work in the Third Ward. I used to work at 806 Main St. in the heart of downtown back when the Rice Hotel was nothing more than a urinal and remember a time when I road my bike to social work school at U of H through Midtown in the 1990s back before anyone even called it "Midtown!" |

When I looked at HAR.com, some of the high rises were shocking in that the prices weren't so bad, but the monthly dues were astronomical. Same with a high rise or mid rise in River Oaks. I thought "wow, I can live in River Oaks" until I saw the maintenance fees. |

More good news for Midtown:
Pic from Jax on HAIF: http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/8325/img8004v.jpg This was taken outside of the Wheeler station. There is some discussion on HAIF to what exactly is proposed here. Next, seems The Mix (retail development at Elgin and Louisiana) is adding 2 new restaurant tenets. http://swamplot.com/artisans-filling...wn/2011-06-30/ Uptown news: Seems the new BBVA bank right near the transco tower (it will always be that name to me) is really about to get started. Construction equipment arrived!

when did Post Properties cancel their plans for their location near the Wheeler station?

More Midtown updates:
In NW midtown a large parking garage with ground floor retail has topped off and across the street a 3-4 story retail/restaurant/meeting space building has topped off. These buildings are located north of the intersection of Pierce st (just north of grey st) and Bagby. I'm not sure if the parking garage is just for patrons or perhaps for apartments and patrons because it seems large just for patron parking.

Hmmm, doesnt seem to be street level friendly, but oh well, at least its adding a tower to the sea of suburbia thats to the west of Reliant Stadium. I looked it up on google maps, and its not too close to the medical center, but I guess its close enough for emergencies if the old folks need it. |

Cool, never heard of that M 59 project, its about time that area got a decent mid rise. Thanks for all the updates. Im also glad to see that Regents Square is still alive, I was dreading that project died, but I guess not...

M Fifty Nine looks really awesome. I like it...
:tup: |
It looks like they are expanding the retail at Post Oak Central. Bringing it out to the street!

Look like "Eado" will be getting a craft brewery that will be opening a few blocks from the dynamo stadium
Craft Brewery Coming to Eado "Coming soon to EaDo will be a new craft brewery for all you Houston beer lovers! Opening for the 2011 holiday season, they will be brewing four initial varieties… an alternative Amber Ale, an IPA (India Pale Ale), a Blonde Ale, as well as custom orders for bars and restaurants around the state. While this is great news for Houston beer fanatics, it’s even better for EaDo because this brewery will be near the new Dynamo Stadium and should serve as a good foundation for future nearby development..." |
Five Oaks Place rendering, no new info.

Greater West Houston
Hi, I recently moved to Houston around Memorial City. I've been doing some research on the area with regards to future growth and stumbled across this document that talks about the plan for Greater West Houston (along the western part of the Sam Houston Tollway between Katy Fwy and Westpark Tollway in particular. I found it interesting so I figured I'd share.

Some Midtown updates:
Scout Square in the far NW corner of midtown along Bagby St (near Grey and Bagby) has been making steady progress. Photos from InnerLooped http://innerlooped.com/wp-content/up...823_154753.jpg http://innerlooped.com/wp-content/up...823_154807.jpg A recap of the project from culturemap, "The development at 1911 Bagby, which will see the addition of one floor and a seven-story parking garage, will include 50,000 square feet of retail and office space. Anchor tenants include Moor's Restaurant and Hooka Bar, a Moroccan-themed eatery, and a Black Finn Saloon. Additional tenants are yet to be announced, but Landmark will keep a portion of the space to develop its own concept" I'm really excited for this part of midtown as this project, along with phase 3 of the Post Apartments, is increasingly urbanizing this part of Midtown. In the SE section of Midtown, where desolation is the norm, it seems work on the interior of Midtown Grove is starting. Hopefully this project will help spur some additional residential and retail to creep over. Photo from InnerLooped http://innerlooped.com/wp-content/up...820_104408.jpg |
Downtown update:
Downtown Houston's courthouse has undergone a +$60 million restoration that has returned the original 1910 courthouse to near "mint condition". A few pictures from Swamplot, see the rest of the pics and story on Swamplot http://swamplot.com/wp-content/uploa...thouse-ext.jpg http://swamplot.com/wp-content/uploa...thouse-ext.jpg http://swamplot.com/wp-content/uploa...house-circ.jpg http://swamplot.com/wp-content/uploa...use-floors.jpg http://swamplot.com/wp-content/uploa...ouse-court.jpg |

Geeze Houstonians just because we don't have any large projects going up doesn't mean we can abandon this thread!
Well luckily Jax from HAIF has some excellent photos of the finished Main Place tower in downtown to stoke some fond memories: http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/3529/p1010127ua.jpg http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/6786/p1010128hy.jpg http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/595/p1010130uu.jpg http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/7812/p1010137ml.jpg http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/5694/img0777s.jpg http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/4049/img0785gw.jpg http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/2408/img0787q.jpg |
So while Houston doesn't have any large projects going up, it is beginning to burst at the seams with infill. So let's see what's new and plus an update of Dynamo Stadium.

250 Room Wyndham Hotel- Planned for East Downtown (EaDo):
http://assets.bizjournals.com/housto...L2011a.jpg?v=1 Source Picture: http://assets.bizjournals.com/housto...L2011a.jpg?v=1 Excerpt: Quote:
This is good EaDo is filling up with towers, now they need more low rises and mid rises but that seems to be coming in also with the multi family units being built there constantly and the town homes. |
this would be huge having the hotel be built on the other side of 59. Hopefully this is just the start of moving things to EADO......but it needs some more restaurants (which i know will come). Just curious who is going to take the first bite!
|
I hope to see the courthouse finished inside, it looks absolutely amazing! And they sure are coming along rather quickly with the Dynamo Stadium.
|
"EaDo" :no:

yeah... ugh.
East End. |
Lots of nice projects. Very Kewl...
