  1. i love it, its texan, its southern, its perfect, i thought it would never happen
  2. that building is incredible, they need to pull that ugly facade down
  3. wow i read the chronicle article and Mr. Finger is a very credible real estate investor, it says that because of his credibility that they see no reason for concern of whether or not the building will be built, that to me is all the news i need, lets get to buildin! wow i read the chronicle article and Mr. Finger is a very credible real estate investor, it says that because of his credibility that they see no reason for concern of whether or not the building will be built, that to me is all the news i need, lets get to buildin!
  4. ok so what is the status on this place, im confused, is it almost sold out or not selling at all?
  5. i think the shops at houston center would be a great place for apartments, when it rains you can step outside on an indorr balcony and watch it hit the glass top, why dont they just renovate the whole place in to residential, id live there
  6. wow i like the little rendering map thingy, im ready for this park, great development for downtown, and tigereye i noticed too that they went into detail with the buildings around the park, does anyone got some valid info on the reality of these buildings?
  7. though it is basically the same building style, there is a good sense of balance, yea i would have rather seen balance with the older strucutre in the middle, but balance is balance, makes things not look so out of place, i cant really say that for this really, lol
  8. yea i have to give in to what hokieone said, he makes a good point, the city sucks at enforcing any laws they set, the difference in NY is that htye actually get on the homeless for not obeying laws, Houston is gonna have to step up enforcing the homeless laws
  9. so true MidtownCoog, the price was mighty steep but i guess for all they are gonna do to this park it kinda makes sense i guess, but id love to see the east end develop in to another midtown, like another neighborhood where people live, eat, work, that would be cool, plus expanding the park across 59 would be great for the whole growth of the area
  10. yea Houston doesnt have to be the same, but your actin like in a city as big as ours that the homeless arent gonna be seen, thats ridiculous, and NY has a way stricter homeless policy than Houston, and yet you see them sleepin on the benches in Central Park with joggers and kids and families all around them, if its all bout JUST BECAUSE, well then we may as well screw downtown development because we dont have to be a world class city with a great downtown, as a matter of fact JUST BECAUSE NY, BOSTON, BALTIMORE, and LA have world class ports doesnt mean we have to have one either, oh and how bout Minute Maid Park and Toyota Center, JUST BECAUSE other cities have state of the art sports stadium doesnt mean we have to have them either, throw the whole downtown development plan down the drain because i mean JUST BECAUSE every other city has it doesnt mean we should, man if you go down Wall Street you will see a crap load of homeless for about 4 blocks if not more every single day all along the buildings, yet you got rich stock borkers and business men walking every single day down those blocks, we arent a city if there is no reality of homeless people, in the CITY its called tolerance, and if ya dont like it then leave to a big plot of land in the middle of nowhere, otherwise i think any individual who cant take a little grit and grime is in my opinion soft, sorry if i offend anyone, crap drives me up the wall
  11. yea i agree, they need to change up Toyotas lighting, but im wondering if someone as city hall is on this board looking at our ideas and requests, lol, cause im surprised at how a lot of our ideas are showing up downtown, maybe its just me, but i gotta say that the city is taking some major steps in the right direction, we are definately beginning to build the right way in this city, ive looked at Dallas boards and they are going nuts with us, lol, makes me proud to be a Houstonian
  12. ok ok ok calm down, first of all the Astrodome thing was a bunch of talk, did you see anyone acutally say they were about to start renovation of the dome at any specific time, they didnt even talked to any sort of business willing to occupy the dome, thats the difference, the parks dont just have a plan and renderings, they have a date when they will begin, they have the business who will be in charge of the restaurant and the cafe, and as for Pavilions its no freakin different, they havent even done bidding for the main retail sections of the mall, just the two towers, its ridiculous to compare these projects to the astrodome idea, and i doubt homeless are going to invade the park, this thing is gonna draw a lot of people, we live in a metro of 4 MILLION in case we forgot, and if you do see a homeless person on the other side of the park, OH FREAKIN WELL, thats why its called a C-I-T-Y not a sqeeky clean suburb, look at Central Park in New York, man we bash every good thing that come to the city, we talk so much about why dont we look like this or have this, and when we freakin get it, we got stupid crap to say about it!
  13. like ive said time and time again, when a business signs a lease they expect progress where they plan to expand that business, and this is definate progress, like brijonmang said, they havent even started bidding on the retail shops, just the two towers, they still got business to do before groundbreaking and i cant wait to expect them to start saying places like American Eagle, Radioshack, etc., etc., thats gonna be exciting, i cant wait for the day when i can go to a great city center mall, before a Stros game, lol
