  1. I can take a lifeless parking lot or I can take a place with people .hmm hard pick
  2. lol second.. if this block takes off ... dallaites will never let us hear the end of it...
  3. That plan called for making main the retail center ,but dallas was inculded.. this one shifts the focus onto Dallas a;; the way down to the convention center .. People thought know one would bite on the residental tax break , now they are popping up like weeds
  4. Do they know something we dont about greenst.. I thought I read something about a proposed highrasie in the area ..hmmm I have often walked down that st and thought its so bland and lifeless why dont they add some art work or something.. just huge white walls screaming to be made lively.... Still think green st main street entrance.. could use a big sign like the one proposed for the other side..
  5. It took a retail team to tell them what others have been saying for years.. The focus to make main street the retail center was flawed.. The area is shaping up to be a bar/ restruant scene.. I have always thought retail should be focused toward the convention center and other area.. what next that eado would be a great place for highrasies given that it would afford great views of DT...shhh something are common sense
  6. This is true Hines tends to put out pretty close to what they present, unlike others who sell you on one thing then present another
  7. I hate that its such a cheap and corny way to beat out other buildings
  8. 42 thats going to have a effect So this is not the one hines is proposing but another one ? damn at this rate the musuem district will have its own skyline..lol
  9. he seems to create a conflict of words, first he says it innovate ,then he says it is new for Houston,implying it is something that exist just not in Houston. A subway system to ferry the people around the different sections? naw that would e to big to hide someone would have spilled the beans. Moving side walks like the jetsons..lol now the sheer cost of such a system design to cover such a space who be in the biilions.
  10. Hines did, when main leaked, they played dumb then a few days later they confirmed it
  11. I dont want there input on anything image related.. they have no sense of style.. if they got there way it would be a another brown box, as they rave about how amazing it is...
  12. Houston gets a new skyscapper the area get a upgrade, and addiontion 1700 jobs are added that downtown needs given the loss it about to take when exxon packs up and moves to the woodlands.. I just can not understand what the hell somes memeber on that board could be thinking ??
  13. I agree I think the 80,s alot of these companies moved at break neck speed to build then the bust happened, and now it has created some kind of fear in the back of their minds which are casuing them to drag their feet... The first time they moved to fast could this time they move to slow ??
  14. According to some anazlie the first tower to get off the ground will reduce the demand of the others.. I do not count the Cheveron since that in a in-house bulding designed for their own use.. but I do belive that the first two towers to break ground in the spec market will reduce or even stop the construction of the rest/.. right now Hines and captial seem to be the only two with hard dates
  15. I dont see the story in the chron, but given that Culture map was the first to break the story with pictures to add, even after hines denied it in the beginning that they were planning a tower on main.. they have gained credibity with me.
  16. Culture map has a update I think they say that hines has decided to increase the tower heighhttp://houston.culturemap.com/news/realestate/07-08-13-houstons-next-great-skyscraper-hines-to-texas-size-new-main-street-office-tower-speed-up-development/ as well as planning a first Q of 2014.. they did not say How much the article only says hines is Texas sizing it
  17. Wonder when they will begin, I know the mayor said something about wanting all major construction done before 2017 super bowl. so that the city could put its best foot foward... The 2017
  18. Thats my motto "till they pour the first slam of contrete its still a maybe in this day and age"
  19. was'nt this the same thing exxon did where they deny that they would be moving people for almost a years ?
  20. which is great not just for Down town getting a new building. but the residental market.. the high level execs will have the new condos places downtown, and the other employees, will be a big boost for areas like midtown, east end,heights ,etc. That is assuming that most or half will be transfers from out of town.
  21. Going to have to change the name since it no longer rumored ..lol
