  20. "Downtown Dallas" is comprised of 15 distinct districts. Vibrant growth occurring in the city's center long ago spilled over the freeways to enlarge the scope of what is considered downtown. This has been the official definition of "Downtown Dallas" for some time now: Reflecting that vibrant growth Woodall Rodgers is now being considered as the new "Main Street": http://www.dallasnews.com/business/columnists/steve-brown/20160107-the-main-drag-for-offices-shifts-north-to-uptown.ece Wall-to-wall density now stretches on both sides of Woodall Rodgers, growing more dense by the day. There are no fewer than 23 new towers under construction in Downtown Dallas at this moment with another 9 towers with groundbreakings imminent. The density just continues to increase and in this January '16 pic (courtesy of TexasStar on Dallas Metropolis) there are 8 or 9 towers under construction in just this tiny "slice" of Downtown Dallas, including 3 in the pic's foreground. Another 2 towers are scheduled to break ground this week in the immediate foreground of the image (the two tower Union Dallas complex).

  22. Judging from the photos, any exterior detail on the theater was gone by the 40s. Also, combining the five buildings apparently ended up with a rabbit warren of interior passageways, complete with seemingly randomly placed sets of steps where the floors didn't line up with one another. Based on that, it looks like any sort of restoration would be a mammoth undertaking, if it could even be done.

  25. No, One Uptown has not shrunk in size. Nor has it's incredible design changed from when it was announced. That's a phenomenon happening in Houston. This project in downtown Houston keeps shrinking ... and shrinking .... what a cute shrinking little hotel! First the dramatic change in its design from world class to whatever and now yet another downsizing in its floor count from 25 to 21 to now 20: Expectations Lowered Another Notch for Rising Hotel Alessandra’s Floor Count Houston Swamplot, 02-24-16, 10:33am: http://swamplot.com/expectations-lowered-another-notch-for-rising-hotel-alessandras-floor-count/2016-02-24/

  28. Never thought of that before. I guess that's why Houston puts LED light shows on its buildings. Oh, wait, Houston doesn't really do so much of that, do they?

  29. Most disappointing downsize in recent years for me, of course this is because of the original renderings were great.

  32. I have been saying that since day 1...they did it backwards....they should have had the restaurants first to get people to visit the development and bring people to the stores, because as it is now, the place is for the most part, a ghost town no matter the time of day or day of the week (and i know because i DO frequent iPic..) so yeah...i cannot wait to have some great restaurant choices and to have this place feel really ALIVE! (also the opening of the Grey House will help i am sure!)

  34. "2015 a Record Year for Houston in Convention Sales, Web and Tourism HOUSTON (January 27, 2016) – Houston First Corporation booked a record number of room nights tied to conventions and meetings last year, just as the organization reached new heights in website visitation and tourism-related room nights. The record successes came in the first full year of the alignment between Houston First and the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau, which combined their efforts in July 2014 to gain additional resources and create a single clear voice for the city under the brand Visit Houston. The Destination Sales team booked 732,967 room nights for future meetings in 2015, a 29% increase over the 569,440 nights booked in 2014 and the largest number ever logged by the organization. S.T.E.M. (science, technology, engineering and math), medical and education industry meetings led the increase. Ric Campo, chairman of the board of Houston First, said the 2014 alignment of the two organizations, coupled with an expanding hotel package and other new offerings in the Convention District, helped a top notch sales team to surpass its goal. “The completion of the Marriott Marquis, scheduled for this fall, will add another 1,000 rooms directly connected to the George R. Brown Convention Center, allowing us to go after much bigger conventions than we could before,” Campo said." http://www.visithoustontexas.com/media/press-releases/post/2015-record-year/
