That building in New York is GORGEOUS! I wish Houston had something like that.

They are delicious.

I hope the restaurant isn't built in a suburban style.

Is Crave the same restaurant as the one in Austin?

That rendering is a building in San Antonio on San Pedro Avenue just north of 410 and North Star Mall And yes, it was built in the 80's.

The owner-developer did. If they are pre-selling the wazzoo out of the units, why still spend money on vines. Unless an ugly garage becomes an issue as to why units are no longer being purchased, then they don't care what their neighbors think.

They don't answer to their neighbors, uptown district, or haifers... so we should probably get over it.

Yeah. Cosmo says fcuk you. I'll do what I want.

Good for the Port of Houston.

Faulknerusa has built some ugly building (Austin Hilton and San Antonio Hyatt) lately. If they do do this one, I hope it's a better design.

Weren't we fairly recently told that a convention hotel at the Astrodome wouldn't work, because it would hurt the Hilton Americas. But now a convention hotel downtown would be good?

Could this just be the City of Houston and Harris County a fussin' and a fuedin'?

MarkLTD explained what it meant above. I always thought AD meant the era before Christ or Abo Domani?

Oh well, in any case the place will be magnificent!

Hope they use giant moving Klieg Lights at ribbon cutting/Grand Opening. Exciting!

I know, and I was making a joke about what he said.

Why? They are a Christian theater group.

Because it's a JOKE.

That rendering does echo the Hobby.

"Anno Domini", Latin for "in the year of our lord."

Not A.fter D.inner? If A D does stand for Anno Domini, they should change their name to the C E (Common Era) Players.

What does the A. D. stand for? I emailed some of the people on their website, but I got no response.

If I had half a billion dollars to through around, I'd buy it. Then I'd turn the top couple of floors into my home. But that's just pie in sky.

The same thing is happening with the Titan. Why?

Neato.

Can they really do that?

I think, for some stupid reason, they were trying to scare you.

If I were the developer, and this ordiance kill my tower plans. I'd then build a paper mill or something else stinky out of spite.

Why not? Both stores will take all your money for only a few things items in return.

That is just a beautiful building. I can't wait until its two beautiful buildings.

So DevelopmentX. Too white? What's up with that? I'm offended.

I'm correctly stating a fact about how your statement is subjective.

I really like the name, and I'm not being sarcastic.

No really, its not anything different from some of the stuff you can find here.

Still subjective.

The publisher of Houston magazine says that there will probably be a Ritz Carlton. He says he's good friends with Ed Wulfe. Crossing my fingers.
