So... apparently Ms Schuetz has been reading HAIF. A shout-out would have been nice (and professional).

The Pointe At Bayou Bend: Affordable Housing At 800 Middle St.
Houston19514 replied to BeerNut's topic in Going Up!
An extension is an extension. I don't think they said anything about how long the extension would be. (FWIW, there are easily three blocks between the current end of the street (4 blocks from Kennedy) by which Middle Street could be extended to the North before hitting the trails.) Would love to see the source of that alleged claim about "direct access to Navigation as a major thoroughfare."- 249 replies

The Pointe At Bayou Bend: Affordable Housing At 800 Middle St.
Houston19514 replied to BeerNut's topic in Going Up!
I suspect they are talking about extending Middle Street to the north, not to the south. It's hard to imagine what improvements they would make to Kennedy Street; seems likely they just plan to extend it to the east.- 249 replies

Houston Ship Channel Developments
Houston19514 replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Points Southeast
I think most of those rankings only consider container traffic and do not consider the bulk shipping that is obviously pretty big in Houston (and our container traffic is growing very quickly). -
Parkside Residences: Multifamily High-Rise At 808 Crawford St.
Houston19514 replied to largeTEXAS's topic in Downtown
Actually, those parking requirements do not apply in downtown Houston. (If they did apply, this building would be required to have 449 parking spaces. The information you helpfully provided earlier says they are only building 417.)- 1,224 replies

Parkside Residences: Multifamily High-Rise At 808 Crawford St.
Houston19514 replied to largeTEXAS's topic in Downtown
Exactly right. And apartment developers have noticed. That is why the the downtown market standard now seems to be 1 parking spot per unit.- 1,224 replies

Parkside Residences: Multifamily High-Rise At 808 Crawford St.
Houston19514 replied to largeTEXAS's topic in Downtown
I doubt they will be connected to the garage next door or that it will be an issue. This is not Trammel Crow Residential's first rodeo. I'm sure they have a solid handle on how many parking spaces they will need (and even if most of the 2- and 3-bedroom tenants take 2 spaces, the math seems to work out pretty well).- 1,224 replies

I doubt they have 2 parking spots for every unit. The market for downtown apartments seems to be 1 per unit. More than that costs extra.- 1,224 replies

So you think the Mandolas are ready to close all three of those restaurants?- 166 replies

Harlow District At West Dallas At 2817 W. Dallas St.
Houston19514 replied to Htowngirl's topic in Montrose
Yeah, I would presume "redevelopment" includes retaining/accomodating the three operating restaurants. Hopefully they keep all three of the buildings at the front of the property. I love Grappino di Nino!- 166 replies

RIDA is the developer/owner of the Marriott Marquis downtown. Brookfield is, well, Brookfield. Does this suggest a joint venture between the two? Interesting discovery: The property is owned by Innova Entertainment Investment Partners, LP, c/o Brookfield Properties.

I would guess that at least one of those towers would be a hotel. The master plan calls for a new performance venue. (I would not have expected it to be as big as shown in this rendering.)

Frost Town Brewing At 100 N. Jackson St.
Houston19514 replied to CrockpotandGravel's topic in Downtown
Frost Town is the historical name for that area of town. https://www.houstontx.gov/planning/HistoricPres/landmarks/09AS01_Frost_Town.pdf -
I don't think so. At least the line they drew on their map does not look like the routing of the TCR. As BeerNut said, it looks very much like the UP line.

Memorial Park At 6501 Memorial Dr.
Houston19514 replied to themidtownguy's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
I think you are correct on the ventilation aspect. I recall reading about such ventilation requirements regarding the below-grade segments in NHHIP. If a "tunnel" is more than x' feet long mechanical ventilation is required. Found this: NFPA [National Fire Protection Association] 502 does not mandate that mechanical ventilation be provided in tunnels less than 1000 m (3280 ft.) long, but does require an engineering analysis be performed. Historically, for short tunnels, common practice is that they are not mechanically ventilated. However, societal awareness about the serious nature of fires in road tunnels, coupled with the development of NFPA 502, has led to a need to demonstrate quantitatively whether mechanical ventilation is needed. NFPA 502 states that emergency ventilation shall not be required in tunnels less than 3280 feet in length, where it can be shown by an engineering analysis that the level of safety provided by a mechanical ventilation system is equaled or exceeded by enhancing the means of egress or the use of natural ventilation -
Interesting that the map shows "new services" between Houston and San Antonio and between Ft Worth and San Antonio, rather than "enhanced services". I wonder what that means.

Just from looking at the Master Plan, I'm pretty sure that is not the case. Maybe the digging is for drainage? -
Post Oak Shopping Center At 2019-2521 Post Oak Blvd.

CBD retailer? In any case, it's a little disappointing. Someone spending 1/2 Million on a renovation suggests the redevelopment may not be happening as soon as we'd hoped. -
New Hope Housing Avenue J: Multifamily At 5220 Avenue J
Houston19514 replied to Urbannizer's topic in Going Up!
Just ran across this and thought it was worth pointing out that if those sidewalks are 3 feet wide, then the parking spaces are only about 4 1/2 - 5 feet wide. Unlikely. More likely that the sidewalks are at least 5 feet wide (the minimum width allowed by the city, and I think it would be the applicable minimum in this location) and the parking spaces more like 7 1/2 -8 feet wide.- 44 replies
