Once they landscape the McDonald's, the ambiance will sell the remaining units.

I think the future Astoria residents can take solace in the fact there is a wooden privacy fence between the properties now. I feel sales will skyrocket immediately. Probably get to 100% within the next week if I had to guess!

It was a guess based on a rendering someone saw. I was told it looked significantly higher than the other two. And I have not personally seen a rendering.

I do like that design, too. It could certainly look good and fit in really well at that location. I really hope it's 60+ stories and 800+ feet tall. I'll hit up a Chevron or two next week...

I would prefer something different too but the speed stick design is actually very nice in my opinion. There are differences in the details, too, so I'm confident the shape would be the same but slightly different than the other two, too. 60--ish stories doesn't hurt either. Plus, not that everything NYC does is gold but they have some towers that look exactly the same, too. I think if we truly want to get this built we ought to go fill up at a chevron station ASAP! ;p

I heard from a CVX employee today that an internal memo showed having the same speed stick design but "significantly" taller than the other two towers. He guessed in the 60 story range

They will move forward this year on construction from what I have been hearing.

It will be a new football practice field. Metro construction took a piece of the old field so UH is getting a new one, slightly relocated. My understanding is that the new field will be Field Turf instead of grass, to match the surface at the new stadium.
