  1. I've been there also. It feels baseball. As far as it being dead, that probably has more to do with St. Louis having one of the worst downtowns in all of America.
  2. look like one of those international style housing block whereas the Cardinals one LOOKS like a Baseball Village! How hard is it to continue the aesthetic from MMP? Even the apartment across the street tried to match the stadium. Come on Houston Astros!!
  3. So they scaled this project back? I was thinking it was going to be multiple blocks similar to these Baseball oriented villages in other cities. The rendering doesn't scream "Baseball" or "Astros" to me. Just looks like a hotel the Houston Astros are investing in.
  4. Is it one building...not a village? Doesn't look very baseball-ey (i.e the district around the St. Louis Cardinal's stadium
  5. According to this article, the Houston metro population is going to balloon to 31.5 million by 2100 easily passing NYC ....so we are going to need many more 58+ story tall buildings...and soon! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/texas/article-12637061/Is-future-America-Texas-Dallas-Houston-Austin-poised-replace-New-York-City-Los-Angeles-Chicago-largest-cities-not-77-years.html
  6. yes...in the late 90s/early 2000s Pittsburgh (2001) near downtown Charlotte (1996) downtown Denver (2001) downtown Baltimore (1998) downtown Cleveland (1997) downtown
  7. MMP was built in the right spot, wit synergy developing all around it. NRG/Reliant, much like the Houston Texans franchise decided to be stubborn and bucked all of the current trends about urban stadiums and built it in a seas of parking and then denied all development opportunities. Why...they wanted the parking $$
  8. I like how it celebrates the original campus that the Cullen family donated to start the University. Landing that $1.3 Billion, from Prop. 5, will be another huge step in transforming The University of Houston from a Regional Public School, with little outside interest, to a Nationally renowned Public Institution with students all over the country wanting to attend here.
  9. It's as if Regent Square wanted to be a high quality development but chose to turn itself into a valued engineering strip center type of development. There are plenty examples of successful restaurant design within blocks from RS... Go look how La Griglia integrates it's patio space with the street and then look and Georgia James and Pastore and the head-scratcher is that these were designed as Restaurant tenants!
  10. When is phase two scheduled to break ground? Hopefully Building #2 & #3 are built sooner than later.
  11. University of Houston jumps up 21 spots, in the USNW rankings, to be ranked the 70th best public University in the United States! https://stories.uh.edu/2023-usnwr-rankings/index.html Goal still remains to be a top 50 US public university + AAU designation and then we will focus on blowing by UT- Austin and TAMU-College Station!
  12. I only have two words for you..... ROLL TIDE!
  13. Cougar Paw= Do a hook-em horns hand signal and then throw up a middle finger
  14. Serious question- what is taking so long for these tenants to move into Autry Park & Regent Square? I don't remember City Centre and River Oaks District having such a hard time finding tenants. Covid is no longer an excuse...nor is the economy. The malls and other similar developments are packed right now!
  15. Shasta approves. Quietly building the best public school in the state of Texas with a fraction of the resources of UT and TAMU!
  16. Are they opening up the garage for the gym parking? The lack of parking led me to decide not to get a gym membership there..it was a zoo
  17. Not sure if this is the official rendering. Looks like an "on the board" rendering....or even a competition. Has this been formally released by the developer?
  18. I was wrong. Yankees = no names on the back of the jerseys because it's about the TEAM, not an Individual plus we don't want to mess with our classic look. Also, the Yankees= yeah we will add a cheesy patch on our jerseys for money
  19. Do you have a link to their site so I can see their facilites and are they taking members?
  20. I've been there for NFL, college football, the Rodeo and Concerts...it is not a top stadium. If you think it is..fine, we will agree to disagree, but I just pulled a comp, in another southern city, that replaced their stadium after 25 years. We are at age 21 right now.
  21. Since you mentioned the Atlanta Falcons: Georgia Dome- Opened in 1992 Mercedes Benz Stadium- Opened in 2017....25 YEARS AFTER THE GEORGIA DOME OPENED! NRG will be 25 years old in 2027...I'm just saying, give it another 10 years and we will start hearing cries for a new stadium
  22. capacity, atmosphere, amenities, location, exterior, etc. There are many things that put it behind the newer stadiums. Both MMP and NRG were of the first generation of "barn" retractable roof stadium designs yet both keep them closed almost 100% of the time.
