houston-development Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I guess Houston-development will tell us in the future if we are just blowing smoke up our a$$ or if it really is going to happen. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> its not like i have a crystal ball or anything i only pass along information from personal experience and from others i deem reliable. randy now has the capabilities to do a deal of this magnatude; hes finishing up on his 17-story deal in vegas. should be done around october/november. its still way too early to make bets if this deal moves forward or not. however, based upon the developers previous experience, reputation, and capabilities, one would think the deal "should" move forward.

Also, I got an invite to the launch party which is being thrown at the Great Room next to Fertitta's office building on the loop at San Felipe. RD is, at the very least, absolutely commited to making it go. Everything else to which he's put his mind in the past years has gone on to be successful... Fingers crossed.

houston-development Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Be happy they have a website. The Manhatten and Empire Condos' didn't get a website until construction started and most of the units were alread sold<{POST_SNAPBACK}>those projects were up on his site (http://www.randalldavis.com) prior to ground breaking.

Way to computer challenged here In any event, saw the new sales center opened yesterday. Drove by last night on my way home and RD was standing out front surveying the site. Picture of the building is on a sign on the outside of the building and it looks very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcnet Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I had lunch at JCI yesterday and asked one of the workers how long the restuarant will be open and he said they have been told at least 6 month. I guess it always depends on the number of units sold to get the ball moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

editor Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I've lived in a Randall Davis building before, and known people who have lived in other ones. Let's hope they have better management, maintenance, and construction than the ones I've experienced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The New Juniper Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Guy in my office says there is some kind of launch party tomorrow night at the big tent being built by Tillman's Rolls dealership on the west loop.He put in a reservation check and said he got number 24 and they haven't even launched yet.I went by the sales trailer yesterday and it really is nice. Above and beyond anything Randall Davis has built in the past.Can't wait to see the crane on site. We need more of this in Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houston-development Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 ooops, dont mind the post above. no wonder i kept getting an error message. duh I've lived in a Randall Davis building before, and known people who have lived in other ones. Let's hope they have better management, maintenance, and construction than the ones I've experienced. i havent heard anything from those who live in his new construction deals. however, ive heard of numerous issues with hvac in his rehabbed ones.

ToolMan Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 (edited) I've had a few issues at The Hogg, but I guess that is what you get when you live in an old building. Edited September 28, 2005 by ToolMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjb434 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 The website is up in full with floorplans and everything. It'll be a nice addition when heading north on Post Oak and the views from the building looking south down Post Oak will be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citykid09 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 The building kind of looks like what the?????(I forgot the name of it, but it is the newest highrise in the Uptown area???) was origanaly supposed to look. Does anyone know the one that I am talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intencity77 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Finally a condominium tower with some character. So many are built as a plain boring box (i.e. the Riverway project). Plus this tower will look great anchoring the northern end of Post Oak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, its nice, don't get me wrong, but sometimes they can over due it.You know though, that is just the kind of overdone marketing that will separate some people from their money. One would think that the person who has made enough money to afford one of these pads would not fall for it, but every day you see average products with extraordinary prices, and a certain demographic has to have it...$100 wine openers, etc. Just yesterday, I saw an article about baby clothes and accessories for "yoga momas"...$129 Italian leather booties and $800 strollers.We may pan some of Randall Davis' designs, but his ability to market to people with more money than taste should not be underestimated.

I like that end of Uptown better, plus its a taller building with many more floors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
