I drove by several times this week. They took down the notice sign about the development at the corner of Space Center and El Dorado. The sign was erected may be a month ago and now it went down.

What a shame that a few can spoil some nice residential development. They could have planned properly to work with the wetlands. You have to give them a chance to show the plans for working with the environment. Kind of like they widened a street near me that went through those wetlands and it took a year long than anticipated because they had to plan to work with the environment and cause no damage to those wetlands - a new bridge. They did it. A residential developer can do it as well.

Are you talking about the variance request sign(s)? They may have just taken them down because the Houston city council approved the requested variance. The signs had a May council date referenced. Once approved, they probably no longer had to keep them up.

I haven't seen anything directing Trendmaker to cease development. I'm not an attorney but I'd think something akin to a legal stay would need to be issued. It's been kind of a mysterious development, though, because I haven't seen much of anything from Trendmaker pushing the development, other than what's already been mentioned at this site. Who knows what's really going on.

I'm curious what you've seen in the way of promotions, T7. Billboards, radio/TV announcements, newspaper? Of course, they've got the internet site and some early news articles but I haven't seen anything beyond that. If this development is suppose to start selling this year, I'd expect to see more soon. Other than the variance signs, which I noticed are coming down, I haven't seen any signage around the development concerning The Reserve.

So I checked Fidelis' website the other day and they have updated the retail property flier which includes the residential lot plan as well. Fidelis Realty Partners Look under properties, then clear lake marketplace. (The residential plan shows updated Jan 13th 2014. looks like a small townhome section will be in there as well). Fidelis has HEB lease executed now and has letters of intent for almost every retail location. With that sort of progress and Trendmaker's legal prowess, I don't see how this development could be hampered by a small group of environmentalists at this point. I watched the fox news report on myfoxhouston.com also. Vandalism, please... I didn't hear those in pinebrook complaining when their 3500 sq. ft. homes "intruded" on the very same wetland space 15+ years ago... c'mon. Just saying...

There will be an HEB? Why? We already have Randall's and Krogers. This retail needs to shoo away about a couple of miles away. And why town homes? I think it would be better with only regular homes, but that's just my opinion.

Not town homes - it's gated patio homes starting at about $350. Nicer that the patio homes that are existing in Pine Brook already.

did you look at the neighborhood plan on page 3 of fidelis site plan? not saying that is final or anything, but if you zoom in, there is a TH-section of 30' lots. not much else that could be but town homes on lots that are only 30' wide. there are 41 lots available in the TH-1 section according to this. There is a separate section 1 and patio 1 for the 2 patio home areas totaling 88 patio homes.

Well technically the area is in the middle of an "urban food desert." HEB is just filling the void.
