Is this the right address? As Swamplot noted last week, Trader Joe’s received a sales-tax permit for a Memorial-area location at 1440 S. Voss at the end of last year. But the company hasn’t officially announced the locations for its Houston stores yet. Swamplot photographer Candace Garcia poked around the scene on Voss between San Felipe and Woodway over the weekend, to scope out any preparations going on there for a TJ’s landing. There didn’t appear to be any.

“Well if we can’t get a sales tax permit, we sure as hell aren’t breaking ground…”
waste of $60+ land. if Trader Joe’s is willing to pay it, this is America and God bless.
Otherwise, this was a great active living apartment/condo site, perhaps even mid-rise office site.
The Unilev buildings adjacent are full and flourishing. I would office here in an A class building.
Ha, rode my bike past this yesterday and wondering why such a huge lot in the Galleria was empty?!
This lot was already marketed as an active living condo site and the project died due to lack of buyers: http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/stories/2007/12/31/story5.html
Bring back the Mr. Gatti’s Pizza and Original Antone’s + Market and I’d be a happy camper.
Used to eat at the Antone’s, then the Chipotle on that site. Great location,across from Randall’s. And the back driveway let drivers by-pass the intersection.
