Major construction in Galleria area could impact several businesses
HOUSTON – Two critical connector ramps at the interchange of the Southwest Freeway and the West Loop are closing starting this Thursday.
The project near the Galleria is about to slow down Houston for at least the rest of the year.
It’s a huge headache for businesses in the area.
First, they had to survive the pandemic, now this years-long construction project could make it a lot tougher for these shops to attract and keep customers.
“I just think about the stress, and I’m just like why. Why?!” said Elva Medrano with Liberty Taco.
Holiday Inn Express and Staybridge Suites Houston - Galleria Area announced a key leadership appointment for its new 319-room property managed by American Liberty Hospitality (ALH), a Houston-based hotel development and management firm. Andrew Mirsky will oversee the sales efforts as Director of Sales for the dual-branded hotel on target to debut this spring. Both brands are franchises of InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG).
Mirsky was most recently the Director of Sales & Marketing at the Houston Marriot Sugar Land, and before that, Director of Sales & Marketing at Houston Marriott Energy Corridor. He also held sales management positions at Sheraton Suites Market Center Dallas and began his hotel career as Director of Outlets at Dallas/Addison Marriott Quorum by the Galleria. Mirsky is a member of the Texas Society of Association Executives and Meeting Professionals International and currently is on the Board of Directors for the Sugar Land Skeeters Foundation.

To understand just how welcome the new luxury apartment complex is that’s rising at
the corner of West Dallas and Montrose, recall the fire that consumed the $50 million development at that site in 2014.
Seconds before the five-story structure collapsed in flames, a construction worker stuck on the top floor swung himself like
Spider-Man down to a lower balcony and then leapt off the railing into the arms of a waiting firefighter.
A welder’s torch had apparently sparked the fire, but the dramatic scene captured on video of the dangling worker and the smoking wreckage begged for interpretation as a symbol for Houston’s explosive boom and bust cycle. For years, Houston had ridden high on oil and gas while the rest of America was mired in the hangover from the 2008 Great Recession. Across Houston, aging garden apartments came down fast to make way for luxury towers
