    Have you actually seen the real thing (the Houston one)? I will note that I have not seen it recently, but it seems odd that we are judging it based on renderings when I believe it is nearing completion.

    I thought the Turnberry proposal had gone by the wayside considering how long it has been with no news. But I guess they have just been waiting for the city's approval.

    arghh...well my browser closed on me, so I will be more brief with this reply. I am not sure why Sharpstown would need "uber security" as you state. Have you ever been there? While it is not exactly a good mall in my opinion, unless you happen to be looking for sneakers (last time I walked through there seemed to be an abundance), I would not call it dangerous. Also mentioning Meyerland is somewhat of a fallacy, especially when you later refer to the above listed malls as "blighted albatrosses". While it is true that as a mall it is nonexistent, its conversion has turned it into a very successful shopping area. On the whole though, I agree with your statement that Houston built too many malls.

    The white building you see is 1301 Fannin. Assuming that is the one you are speaking of. Also I just scanned through the last couple pages, but has groundbreaking occured? Or was that only for the House of Blues?

    Well there is a lot next to the waterwall. And there is the chance that church may sell (though I doubt it) Then there is the parking lot north of galleria 1. Plus the parking North of Dillards. Perhaps a deal could be made where a larger parking garage is built for Dillards and they sell the rest of their parking. Then there are always the few strip malls near it. Or they could just tear down the transco and expand to the east

    There isn't much parking in front of Dillard's. Most is in the garage to the south and the surface lot to the north.
  7. YakuzaIce
    How do you plan on kicking Dillards out of their building? Does anyone know if that would be structurally feasible? Since you would be knocking out all of the floors. Interesting idea though.

    Yeah, I thought he was serious at first with the target/walmart

    The lease or the condo? Well the first line of the lease ones are mostly high rises, most of the rest are mid rises.

    Good news thanks largetexas.

    ^lol at your "typo". Good point scarface, people act like only in Houston projects take a while, are cancelled, or have speculation about them. EDIT: Oh and welcome to page 15!
  12. YakuzaIce
    Well it is a fifty-fifty chance to get it right? Even guessing is bound to get a few.

    What about Galleria 5? But on topic (kind of), does anyone know the odds of Macy's becoming a residential tower?
  14. YakuzaIce
    Ok, here it is. woot 1000 posts

    Just wait until his picture hosting service comes back up.

    It sounded like you disliked parallel parking because you said "Now this is how I expect Rice Village to look".
  17. YakuzaIce
    He has been shopping in the galleria area sice the early 1900's?
  18. YakuzaIce
    Yeah its gone for me also. But I am sure largeTEXAS will put it back up next time he gets on. I wonder when Ziegler Cooper is going to put it on their website?
  19. YakuzaIce
    Keep dreaming
  20. YakuzaIce
    Well the actual development doesn't (well on the left it looks like there is a car, but I can't tell if it is parked or mowing down pedestrians). Isn't that how some of the parking is now. Like on the south side of university.
  21. YakuzaIce
    Nice looking project. Do you know which streets it is at?
  22. YakuzaIce
    Why are you so pessimistic whenever you pop up on the forums now? What happened to your good old "this should have been built downtown". BTW just because you think a rendering is wrong does not make a project a hoax.
  23. YakuzaIce
    It seems like they just forgot which way they were oriented. EDIT: On second thought, the building on the left looks like the one right off 59 in greenway. But the rest seem to tall.
  24. YakuzaIce
    I am pretty sure I read that it had been cut back, and now it has been completely cancelled. I may look for some more info tomorrow.
  25. YakuzaIce
    I don't know about that, just listen to what people are saying about something that will get rid of a surface parking lot and add street level retail.
