lockmat Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 when the president of the development company said the list was not update, you have to give his statement some merit. tomorrow's groundbreaking will end the speculation.What all do they normally do at a groundbreaking? Will they announce all the tennants or are there still some spaces to be filled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNiche Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 What all do they normally do at a groundbreaking? Will they announce all the tennants or are there still some spaces to be filled?I'd be amazed if they aren't building some exta retail space on spec.

WesternGulf Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Sure, the RC is one of the few places DT that has good business 7 days a week but even so, two locations less than a mile apart seems like a stretch to me.They aren't clearing out the current space? That seems like too much to me also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Wouldn't it be shocking to see that Treasures has signed on as a tenant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C2H Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 That said, the tenants do seem a little specific as far a 20-30 screen theater. Denver's is 15 isn't it. Plus is a local in the list such as Yao's.Yeah Denver's is only 15, so maybe the movie theatre did make the list.I'd say Niketown, Movie Theater, Barnes/Noble, Virgin MegaStore, and ESPN Zone!!!Oh yeah! I forgot about Vigin Records and ESPN Zone. I hope they make it too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 After looking over that list more closely and comparing it to the current tenant list at Denver Pavilions, I think it is pretty clearly a combo list of tenants who are currently in the Denver Pavilions and tenants who have signed leased for Houston Pavilions. Some tenants are in both categories. Perhaps others to be announced are on the list and are currently in Denver Pavilions. But I would not expect all of the businesses on that list to end up in Houston Pavilions. Personally, I would be very surprised, for example, if we see either Corner Bakery of Hard Rock Cafe in Houston Pavilions. But of course, one never knows (at least until tomorrow)... I would love for them to announce a new hotel as one of the anchors they are supposed to be announcing tomorrow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, if they put another Red Cat Jazz cafe or a Corner Bakery, i'm gonna be sick to my stomach. We need more variety, something we don't have down there already: Barnes and Noble, NikeTown, ESPN zone, Virgin Megastore, or Movie Theater. PLease, Please, PLease lets not waste this thing on things they have a block away. I thought the idea was to bring in more exclusives to downtown. It won't help bring people downtown if we're rebuilding the same Main Street we already have all over again.

Trae Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 ESPN Zone, Movie Tavern, and Niketown would be great for HP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProHouston Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 ESPN Zone, Movie Tavern, and Niketown would be great for HP.I like Alamo Drafthouse, it sounds more Texas and less commercial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarface Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 People , people. Let's just wait until tommorow before we start pulling our hair out! I seriously doubt they're going to put another Corner Bakery in the Pavilions. If we get a movie theater, that will have me at least 60% happy. I'm with some others, i do want to see more big name tennants like NikeTown, ESPN zone, and Virgin Megastore. A bookstore would be good as well. I also like Houston19514 idea of a hotel to replace the condo concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToolMan Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Well the "unofficial" groundbreaking has already started. They are currently tearing up the parking lot on Dallas & San Jacinto/Caroline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedScare Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I also like Houston19514 idea of a hotel to replace the condo concept. Yeah, with Marriot, Four Seasons and Hilton Americas all within 2 blocks, I don't think we have enough hotel rooms in this area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T 2 THA C Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I would have liked the condo concept also, It would have been nice! Just good to see/hear they are going to start on the project? Curious to see who's on the final list of tenants other than who already has announced so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbigtex56 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I wonder if the official groundbreaking was timed to coincide with this year's rodeo. Local media coverage would give added exposure of this project to out-of-town visitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmainguy Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Any news on major tenants for the office tower? My doctor has considered opening a satellite location...not sure where he is on that at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HtownWxBoy Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I drove by the site today... they were tearing up the one parking lot... it was nice to finally see some dirt! Here we go!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Getting back on topic:So, they're going to start on the eastern most block first? are they going to use one block to store equipment? When are they going to close off the remaining blocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GovernorAggie Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 (edited) groundbreaking ceremony 10:30am today!Yes!!! I saw the tent up this morning, complete with the "Houston Pavilions" sign and logo!Actually, I must admit that I am more eager to hear what the new anchors will be--but I am still excited about the "official" turning of dirt. I saw the Caroline lot tore up last night, too on my way to that excuse of a game the Rockets played.

The Great Hizzy! Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 You stole my thunder. They had some clean cut dude holding a mike and looking "really" serious and stoic, but you could tell that deep inside, he couldn't wait to throw on some bowling shoes and hit Lucky Strike when it opens up.
