Gosh want to move but everything is for rent.

I agree it will be a surface parking lot for a while.  But it has so much potential!

It does appear that is what he said.  Understanding that he is in the business of marketing office space (so it's in his interest to exaggerate the scarcity) but still that seems like a wild exaggeration.   Even if you consider that he may have meant only three good office sites besides those already spoken for (so excluding the sites for 6 Houston Center, 5 Allen Center, 1500 Smith, Allen Center Clay Street, the 50-story Chevron tower, the adjacent block(s) owned by Chevron, Capitol Tower, One Market Square)... So excluding those 9 or so good office sites, are there really only 3 good office sites left in downtown Houston?

 

What about...

Block 142 (Milam, Louisiana, Walker, McKinney)

Block 97 (Rusk, Walker, LaBranch, Austin)

Block 251 (Lamar, Dallas, LaBranch, Austin), which would in turn open up 275 and 276, which would  in turn open up 291 and 292

Block 319 (Clay, Bell, Milam, Travis)

Block 318 (Clay, Bell, Travis, Main)

Block 317 (Clay, Bell, Fannin, Main)

Block 335 (Bell, Leeland, Travis, Main)

Block 352 (Leeland, Pease, Travis, Milam)?

 

And that's without getting into blocks that are/will be candidates for tear-downs (e.g. Block 257).

 

Too bad this Chevron building in dead. 

You will be able to see it is taller then Pennzoil Place.  

Agreed and the density is going up.

wow, this is so exciting.  they are definitely prepping for some sort of tower given the excavation work going on below grade.  the question is when ?  and how many stories tall ?  crossing my fingers and toes !

Your right went Downtown Saturday and it is a huge foundation for a garage.

RANDALLS CLOSING HOUSTON DISTRIBUTION CENTER TO CONSOLIDATE IN DFW

 

There are very few Randalls in Houston. HEB just killed them better products and services.  The few remaining will close Randalls will close very soon.  

All the homeless people are east of the Wheeler Red Metro station , and Axelrad is off Alameda. 

Went to the Art Car Festival totally fun!  609 Main look just incredible what a nice addition to the skyline.  I wish they did build Chevron Tower. 

Went to Alexlrad Bar near Midtown underneath the overpasses lots of tents. Many homeless people there.  People laying in the streets. I saw at least 40 tents. It's was very sad.

When we go Downtown I take the 82 Westhiemer takes 10 minutes from Kirby. Some places want $40 to park which is crazy.  It is safe and $1.25 each way.

Very great thinks for the link.

How nice!

China coming to Dallas very nice.  Is there a tenant?

Kudos Houston First.  Went to Biggio's on he second floor patio we met people from Nashville.  They said everything was beautiful.  They loved the pool at the Marriott.  So we took them to Ninfas!  We had so much fun!

He will when the market is right.  Very smart man and look what he did for Houston.  His son will live his legacy. 

It is ugly like he went China to get the design.  Looks like the Museum Tower.  Dallas deserve better.

You are right but will take a couple of years.  The ong term is good.

Have you seen Uptown  orthe TMC? Houston

It looks like Uptown Houston with smaller buildings.  Is there a height limit there due to Love Field?  

Oh we are going to have a glut.  I was Downtown last night and there was a lot of foot traffic, more than I ever seen. 

Skansa built a office building across from the Williams Tower with no tenant.  It got get leased before it was finished.  It has LEED Platinum status.  Very exciting news! 

You are right about that.  It is his palace another Trump inTexas.
