Buffalo Heights District: Mixed-Use Development At 100 Waugh Dr.
Houston19514 replied to Ross's topic in Going Up!
From the Houston Business Journal: ". . . with the pandemic and the resulting economic impacts, we are taking a wait-and-see approach on next steps based on what market demands will look like as people resume their post-Covid lifestyles,” the company said. BKR Memorial said the next phase of the project will include additional residential units, as well as Class A offices, retail and restaurants, all centered around pedestrian walkways and a central green space. Other uses, including hospitality and entertainment, are being considered for future phases, the company said.- 387 replies

I presume this was the part of Clayton Homes that was damaged by the flooding? (When I first saw your post, I thought you were saying that all of Clayton Homes had been demolished, but that is clearly not the case.)

It looks to me like the ROW would only require taking one wing (or perhaps only part of one wing) of one building of the Midtown Terrace Suites/Travis Street Plaza veterans housing complex. The "A" is indicating the location and direction of the section view shown to the left.

Where are you seeing the stops? I can't find that detail in the linked Chron article. (EDIT: Never mind. I found it in the Metro link.) FWIW, that section currently has 11 stops. They are dropping it to 7 stops. It looks like they are aiming to have a stop approximately every 1/4 miles. Speaking of the linked article, gotta love the Chron. The graphics show a map of the two test routes next to renderings of a BOOST bus stop and a Metro bus. All good. The caption for the graphic, however, is: "The Texas Department of Transportation is making plans for a $500 million road project in Beaumont. The project would include widening parts of the roadway and constructing two-lane elevated flyover ramps where Interstate 10 and U.S. 69 converge. The agency is looking for residents’ help to determine what aspects of the project would best reduce congestion and improve mobility." SMH

How do you know "that money is not a loan"? You don't. You can't; since I'm pretty sure the "infrastructure stimulus" does not yet exist. More importantly, the article also says: "Aguilar said any funds from the U.S. government that Texas Central would seek would be in the form of loans."

No, they did not stay the night at the Rice. They were at the Rice briefly the day before, attendend a luncheon in the ballroom, and then flew to Fort Worth and spent the night in the Hotel Texas in Fort Worth. -
Houston Planning on Walkable Places
Houston19514 replied to BeerNut's topic in Bicycles and Other Low-Impact Modes
If you don't see how a multi-story unscreened parking garage is worse than a surface lot, I don't know how to explain it to you. But even if they are no worse, so what? Surface parking lots will also be allowed under the new ordinance. So, again, we end up worse off. Currently we can have surface parking lots to the property line, but have means to fight back against unscreened parking garages. Under the ordinance, we have no means to fight either one. Someone is indeed missing the forest for the trees and cutting ones nose off. The world does not have to be binary. It doesn't have to be a question of torpedoing the ordinance altogether or taking it as it is. There is another alternative; we can take a little extra time and make the ordinance better. -
I used to think that too, thinking that the humidity from the bathroom would cause problems. But my last two houses have both had it and I love it! With good air conditioning and exhaust fans, the humidity is not a problem in the least. And it is VERY convenient.

Houston Planning on Walkable Places
Houston19514 replied to BeerNut's topic in Bicycles and Other Low-Impact Modes
Here's the problem (and it is by no means a straw man). Without the new ordinance, a developer has to seek a setback variance. This process gives the city and neighborhood the opportunity to seek other changes (such as parking garage and noise screening). WITH the new ordinance, no setback variance will be required, so there is no opportunity to seek any other changes in exchange for the variance. -

The Chron's article about The Parklane going condo included this about Two Hermann Place: "Once a construction loan is lined up, Tema will break ground on the 32-story Two Hermann Place apartment tower in partnership with Nitya Capital. The project has been delayed due to the lending climate with COVID-19, Zabaneh said." https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/texas-inc/article/Museum-District-condo-tower-renovation-targets-15300476.php

The Parklane apartment tower was originally built as condos, but amid the 80's oil crash, they decided to go rental. "But as Houston’s demand for condo properties has increased, returning The Parklane to its original purpose seemed like a prime opportunity..." Sales will begin mid-June. https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2020/06/01/tema-development-parklane-apartments-condos.html?ana=e_me_prem&j=90511812&t=Morning B&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTmpSaU9EQmxaVEJpWm1VeCIsInQiOiI0djU5Mjd6aEdCT1R6V2RrODNxV1YwcDFkRHRYcGtvVG1qU0UwYm01bTd2XC9NOHM4Y2pBaDFRNVZ3WisrRFJDcnoyQkRJVkFYbGxFeGV0SDB4VkcxSTdUTkd0cUtwU255ZE5LUUMwREZHVCtLdkdGZUxZcFF5NnY2bTltVXhRYWoifQ%3D%3D http://www.theparklane.com/
