  1. I think I read they hope it becomes a really popular site for weddings so you can't have it too high just high enough for the bride and groom to be the focus point
  2. yea you are .. I am not talking about DT themsevles rather the sense of it that people get( While DT L.A is similar to Houston, the feel is this is L.A something that Houston seems to lack. rather that because we lack some Identiy or were just hard to define dependes on who you ask
  3. Think it will go residental regardless of comso , it would give Davis a trifacte in that area and he seems to favor that part for post oak... now that a huge lot of land is open do you really think they would pass it up ? RD or not.. He been chomping at the bits to build Titan anyway
  4. Smart the church gets a gargae out of the deal without having to pay for it , on the condition that their people be allowed to use it free of charge
  5. For the small lot on main , is the parking garage a church project or is it tied to the proposed tower that was mentioned a few months ago..
  6. As for light rail one of Houston biggest neg point is getting around, even DT.. I was downtown and a guy in a business suit asked me how to get to dynamo staduim ( The fact that he did not know how to get to DT from DT was a dead give away he was not from here. Now if the rail was up and running at the time how easy would it have been to say go one block over and take the purple line it will drop you right off in front of it.. Instead of telling him the names of a bunch of streets he was most likey not going to remember.. or sending him all the way to the transfer center to catch the bus.. or all the way back up the block to the greyhond to catch a cab... or saying yea it a 7 block walk in Houston heat
  7. Here is the thing , its not the events themselves which in reality are a huge drain om your cities resources , what you are actually doing is marking your cities To business, Other big eventsnd yes in possible new cittizens who come into town and say , I could see myself living here... There is a reason why places like NY and L.A nd even chicargo have such pull to people the DT are 90% of the time the only experince most out of towners will have with your city
  8. It 25 story if memory serve which would not block much of anything.. and they are already trying to seel the lot for a tower so ither way there would no effect of line of sight since they are so far apart no views would be obstracted...
  9. http://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/Prime-Post-Oak-parcel-up-for-grabs-5267366.php#/4
  10. Of the 75 units 60 are already taken.. not bad .... I wonder if this will encourange them to try to build the titan again ? If memeory servres that land with just to the side of it just went on the market not to long ago right ?
  11. The problem is final say in designs are left to people who think they know what edgy and modern is// It kind of like letting your parents DJ your party..... They can claim to have consulted the student body all they want, but in the end it was decided by peole in their 50,s and 60,s
  12. Since so many of the new hotels are going to be so close to each other I think we should rename this area the Hotel district..lol
  13. I am not really seeing it, as I review alot of the units proposed for SOHU..( Lets not call it that just a short hand) many of them seem to be of the same same squared off design just of various heights..( the exception being skyhouse) I think will be much more uniform that you think... I do give you props for pointing out the three diffrent styles that are popping up( The ones by market sqare are a given since the historic district is very anal about that part and anything buildt over there will have to have a more comptemary design... I think we will see highrasies develop more turn Minnute made area since the set back would create a clear view of DT entire skyline
  14. I have been saying that for years this us not Manhattan..if you built some complex's targeting the 50'000 to 60'000 range you could jump down population up practically over night
  15. I thought the Sakowitz building was all ready in negoations to convert the grouund floor to retail.. Dont tell me the owners are holding out
  16. If done right it could be one impressive lobby( The kind of lobby were you will be sold on the place the moment you walk in)
  17. I think the HBJ said they will be demolationing the area where yao was to make the space... Seems a little backwards t you would think they would have started tihs first then the renovation.. but oh well , I am most pumped about the 7,000 sq feet of reatil... which I would image will be facing Dallas St...
  18. Dont modify it , dont tweak it .. build it just like that
  19. I have never heard of anybody who moved into any DT complain about noise ...if that the case the burbs maybe a better place for you
  20. I have a dreeam that one day we will have removed the vast majority of these parking lots....But this does remind me How much residental poteninal the south end of Dt has
  21. ThIs is great and all but one of the main sellin points of this place was going to be the focus of retail .. so far not a single new retail opening.. which is odd given the number of small to mid size retail being forced out of Uptown due to redevelopment you would think witht he growing residental that attracting companies to open up DT would have gotten easlier.. Second I stil think terminating the least on one of Houston most successful clubs(Scoot gerner) was the stupidest thing ever. Have they even filled that space yet ? Not many bar are known outside of Houston and scotts was one of the few that a celeb might have heard of when it came to Houston.
  22. You seem to be right once you break down the numbers they cant be talking about the prison ,
  23. Remeber that condos that were planned for the old Skylane apt, well the termination of lease notices came today, everyone has to be out by april 30 http://swamplot.com/this-ok-greystar-checks-in-with-woodland-heights-neighbors-about-skylane-replacement/2013-08-26/
