'Sugar Factory' will open in the Lower Mckinney/Victory Park area later this year (summer or later), replacing a recently closed restaurant. It'll be their first location in TX, not really sure what to make of the concept. It seems to be a fairly high profile kind of place.

I don't think I have seen this elsewhere, this was posted to a Victory Park 'Neighborhood Association' Facebook page. The thing that sticks out like a sore thumb to me is that loading dock on the corner by the AAC. I'd think that's a no brainer to activate that corner and draw people from the rest o...

Popbar has closed, and there's a sign above the door that seemed to say 'Mad Pies'. Might be a pizza place? I didn't get a good look. The company that runs IT'Sugar had recently filed for bankruptcy and the store is currently closed, possibly for good. Imoto is open again, they've been leaving the d...

"The airport has postponed the planned 24-gate facility “indefinitely” because of a drop in flyer numbers"

I think that idea is so clever and neat that there's no way they'll do something like that. If we're lucky maybe we'll get a donut.

I wonder if they would build something grand and iconic in order to take their place in the skyline...or if they would do something shorter so as to not 'mess' with that iconic angle of the skyline. Hopefully the former.

One of my biggest wishes out of any redevelopment here is for Ashland St to connect to Houston. And while this isn't Hunt's responsibility, I'd love a simple crosswalk at Houston and Museum Way/High Market St.

Hopefully we can see some more memorable architecture for at least one of these buildings, and some good street level activation.

The acquisition includes an almost 2-acre building site on the northeast corner of the Galleria property that had been planned for another high-rise. “We do have a site that can accommodate a roughly 300,000-square-foot new building,” said C.

Apparently the spot near Sift + Pour that started being built out will be Chipotle. The doorman of the W mentioned this, supporting what another user had previously posted.
