The trees along Gray St. have been fenced off for the sidewalk upgrades. The city will be fixing up the sidewalks along Gray from Brazos east down to Main and has done some preliminary surveying, sawcuts, and markings already.

Is Lonestar getting a new outdoor patio? Is the sign part of the new design?

Fugly. Way to reinforce stereotypes of power, ya know so kids can have something to rebel against. Wanna see a high school kids will like Just as cheap to build too. -
I will lament the losing of the look of our own resident "Parisian tenements" but having previously worked at Kirksey I'm glad their involved in the updates.

Thanks, I missed that piece of info. Here's the previous threads on the building. http://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/12892-sheraton-lincoln-plaza-tower-to-get-100-mil-renovation/page__p__186549__hl__%2Bsheraton+%2Blincoln__fromsearch__1#entry186549 http://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/11911-sheraton-houston/page__p__183273__hl__%2Bsheraton+%2Blincoln__fromsearch__1#entry183273 http://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/19094-will-old-closed-hotels-survive-the-recession/page__p__304942__hl__%2Bsheraton+%2Blincoln__fromsearch__1#entry304942 http://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/14563-houston-back-in-the-day-one-buildings-perspective/page__p__223441__hl__%2Bsheraton+%2Blincoln__fromsearch__1#entry223441

My understanding was that it would be demo'd and then the underground garage would be reconstructed in the aftermath. Correct me if I'm wrong.

1st off, this is a trashy post which is why I gave you a neg. I generally appreciate your posts but I expect better from you. A.) Washington Ave is middle density and walkable, this is simply the midtown/4th ward CVS all over again. Yes, they have a legal right to develop as they are but it is short-sighted with an strong undercurrent of spiteful envy to develop a suburban site plan in context to mid-density residential. Further this is not in the Heights, don't try to decontextualize it. It's the equivalent to the deadening of downtown by parking lot zones, which is say Houston's foolish pride and flag waving for almighty individual freedom is a false justification for being a willfully ignorant neighbor. You get what you deserve. B.)Your sarcasm is not appreciated, if you look at the top of the page you will see it was written by a Rice Grad student representing the RDA.

I like how everyone ignores the issues brought up in this article, how very Houston. Perhaps 380 agreements could put some teeth to these issues.

The interior design is much like the new Hyatt Regency's. -

I came across an interesting presentation the other day about historical preservation in Europe and the USA. The idea was essentially that b/c of the way the preservation works, a brand new building or even a building not even built yet can be considered for historic preservation. They took the flipside approach and declared that there needed to be an ordinance for the destruction (not preservation) of junk (not historical buildings). This may be what Houston really needs instead of preservation. See image below: Pt. 1 Pt. 2 Pt. 3
