Come live here Few if any houses flooded in West U, thankfully. I assume some probably did, but the city's flooding was mostly just street flooding. Bellaire and Memorial are different stories, of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it, it seemed that all the early renderings indicated street retail, but the finished product doesn't seem to make much provision for it, nor have we heard anything about leasing. I wonder if the promised allotment of retail will all be taken up by the chef's hall, buried inside the building? I don't mean to panic prematurely, but the same thing happened with BG Group Place, where early press mentioned ground floor retail, but the retail when it came was all inside.

What makes you think the Chef's Hall will be buried inside the building? My understanding is that the Chef's Hall indeed takes all of the retail space, but it is in no way buried inside the building.

mollusk Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 The chef's hall takes up the northern portion of the building, with windows onto Preston and Travis. Regarding BG, the retail space along Main was vacant for quite some time until Frost Bank moved into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbates2 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 The chefs hall will be very visible from the corner and somewhat visible from Main with direct access. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read something that gave me the impression that it opened up onto the patio space fronting Main, which made me think it did not extend from there all the way to the street. Thanks for clearing that up everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at our most urban, we still have the Southern country club mentality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanize713 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) I would say this is more like a private courtyard, lol. It sounds like it will also serve the food hall. You ever heard of Gramercy Park? That is a fenced in private park in the northeast's most urban city with other parks/plazas all around it.

Yeah, and there's fenced private parks in London too, none of which anyone would really consider the height of urbanism. More of a vestige of aristocracy (like Southern country clubs). A "Victorian gentleman that has refused to die," as the NY Times once termed Gramercy. Edited December 8, 2017 by H-Town Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hines considers it a private park on their website, but you keep holding your ground and calling it a courtyard, lol. When we "get there" is probably around the time when Hines will decide that the highest and best use of land on Main Street is something other than a fenced park.

Are you telling me that marketing brochures and websites would never ever aggrandize amenities/features? Please This is one of if not the priciest addresses downtown. If it didn’t include at least a private sidewalk called a private park to walk someone’s shih tzu i’d be shocked. You can keep going on and on but I just called you out on saying this was anti urban even though the most urban cities in the work have similar features end of story.

UtterlyUrban Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Bravery sounds great.

102IAHexpress Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 From Nancy's article yesterday: Quote Aris Market Square is advertising three months free rent with a 13-month lease. Catalyst, near Minute Maid Park, is offering up to two months free. Alexan Downtown and Block 334 is giving two months free prorated throughout the term of a lease. https://www.chron.com/business/real-estate/article/Short-term-renters-moving-out-of-apartments-six-12724143.php Wow, I didn't know residential demand was that poor in downtown. Hopefully it picks up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
