What will the long-awaited BLVD Place mixed-use development just north of the Galleria end up looking like now that Apache is building a 33-story office tower and parking garage and reserving space for a second tower on a huge chunk of the land facing Post Oak Blvd.? Like a considerably smaller retail complex rental cars by san antonio airport than what Wulfe Co. advertised from 2007 until the Apache purchase announcement this June. The development now appears to be split into 3 functionally distinct blocks: A Whole Foods -anchored shopping center with office space above it wrapped around a parking garage on the corner of San Felipe and Post Oak Blvd.; the Apache office complex to the south of that on land formerly occupied by the Pavilion at Post Oak; and a bank of 4 apartment or condo towers (including Hanover s ) and maybe a hotel hanging in back, behind rental cars by san antonio airport Post Oak Ln. The only incongruity will be the portion of BLVD Place that s already been built: the 4-story retail-and-office building in the Apache zone at the project s southeast corner, rental cars by san antonio airport which will now be separated from the rest of the retail by the Apache Tower.
During rush hour, it can take 15-20 minutes to drive from the Galleria to 610 along Westheimer. I wonder how much worse it ll get before people who work in the area begin to park at Best Buy and walk to their offices.
The offices will happen rental cars by san antonio airport because that market is really hot right now. I see apartments before condo s. The Whole Foods and the Rice Epicurean rental cars by san antonio airport really close make the high-rise apartments attractive to tenants.
@Rodrigo, I ve lived inside the loop and in the burbs, worked downtown, Greenway and the Galleria and in 20 plus years can only recall one two-hour commute and that was the day every road in Houston turned to ice. Either you drive a really slow car or write fiction.
Well, to add a single data point, my co-worker who lives in the Cypress area was telling me just this morning that his commute to downtown this week has been averaging hour and a half. He also mentioned that it takes him less time when he rides the bus, since the bus can ride in the HOV lane.
About 5 years ago, I experienced rental cars by san antonio airport a 4 hour commute from Midtown to Dairy Ashford via IH-10. A terrible accident in the pre-dawn hours combined with the freeway rental cars by san antonio airport expansion project turned the road to a parking lot. My boss kept calling me and joking, hey, you got a minute to talk?? It was hilarious.
@rental me this It s been my experience that people who live in the suburbs often have difficulty admitting to themselves just how long their commute really takes. Admitting rental cars by san antonio airport how long they spend on the road would greatly diminish their perceived rental cars by san antonio airport self worth. Instead of being a great father who values time with junior above all else, he would have to admit to being a father who values a 3,500 sq/ft home and not having to pay for private school above all else (including time with junior).
Taking I-10 from Midtown to Dairy Ashford in the morning is just ONE of many options. Now with the improvements, it s never slow barring a massive traffic accident (and that is not a normal commute day).
As for people choosing suburbs, most of the time they are sacrificing themselves to a bad commute so their kids can have better schools and a nicer home for their income. The great thing about Houston is that you have options. rental cars by san antonio airport You can choose the way you want to live versus having to incapable planner tell how you should live and commute.
@not really: rental cars by san antonio airport See my comment to Rodrigo. A lot of people apparently can t see past their own noses and somehow don t get the concept. There are inner loop haters (and haters of just about anything out there) for the same reason.
I m really disapointed that the Apache HQ building/plaza will completely cut the site in half. Notice on the site plan how the green rectangle (lush landscaping) below the blue circle (water feature) engage the footprint of the new HQ building!?! Any pedestrian trying to walk from the north shopping district to the existing retail will be forced around the fountain onto a 4 wide sidewalk along Post Oak. That old school site planning may still have merit in an area like Westchase fronting BW-8. But it is a BIG step back from Wolfe s original concept. A VERY smart move would be to plug in retail on the ground floors of the two HQ buildings and improving pedestrian access. When will Houston realize the corporate office and retail can coexist in the same building envelope? And that these two uses DON T need to be separated by a stark motor court full of idling, black SUV s.
@WanYay: It appears that there will be access through the Apache tower. Look at the pathways (brown checkerboard pattern) rental cars by san antonio airport to the north of the tower. rental cars by san antonio airport It looks to me like that is for foot traffic between the tower and the Whole Foods site, allowing a connection between the current rental cars by san antonio airport building and the Whole Foods site.
