DNAguy Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Man you got me so excited that there was an update to this and then my hopes were completely crushed when I realized that you linked an article in the wrong thread. Tears, man. Tears across my face. Is this not the same site? Sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visitor Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Me too...was just at Kroger imagining how great it would be if the stacked retail became a reality there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Dumb name change. Although it may be more accurate in location, it almost sounds like it's a tier below the surrounding retail. We're "lower" than the rest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate4l1f3 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I hope stacked retail becomes a reality here and embarrasses the studemont junction development. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visitor Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 No word on this one? Holding out hope that means it will be above average and more exciting than a regular strip mall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will still have strip mall aspects to it but with a twist, I suppose. I am still so hoping we get a movie theatre here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still so hoping we get a movie theatre here. I've always been surprised by the desire for another movie theater. I feel like i can drive 10 minutes in any direction and hit one. I guess other people go to the movies more than i thought and far more than me, haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 In the (greater) Heights? I'd say there's a distinct lack of movie theaters. But then, I also prefer theaters with a full bar which kinda precludes driving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFootsSocks Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Is this the development with the stacked big-box retail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mab Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Quote Patrick Egan with Gulf Coast Commercial said the plan for a vertical retail development at the former Tarkett site off Interstate 10 near the Heights is still what they are working toward but because of the complexity of the development the plans are taking time. “A vertically integrated shopping center would fit well with the area,” said Egan. “It’s probably not something we would do in a suburban development.” He estimates final plans by the late third quarter with a 16 to 18 month delivery time frame. No tenant news but Egan did say that parking is planned to be out front of the stores to give a long line of sight and for safety purposes. 1 http://theleadernews.com/tacos-a-go-go-still-a-go-first-tenant-at-yale-development-july-business-briefs/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucleareaction Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) What the hell does "long line of sight and safety" have to do with where parking spots are? Just another suburban development.

This site is so massive it's impressive they are even considering a two story retail development. I think people need to still keep expectations for this site low though even with a double decker retail complex.... this will still be Katyville-like. Do you guys really expect anything different from Gulf Coast Commercial? I think a lot of people still need to lower their expectations for this site. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visitor Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 The fact he even mentions parking lots as opposed to parking structures crushes any hope that this wont be a giant let down and wasted opportunity. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did anyone expect? Katyville isn't ready to support that kind of density. Give it two or three decades. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Very fascinating about the ramp connecting to the bridge... Never seen something like that here. Still fingers crossed for a movie theatre. Honestly this is a little better than what I expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
