    From the drawings, it looks like the crane base is in the final building's driveway.

    Right of way ceded to rail companies a long time ago and the state will never have enough money to buy it back? Impossible to rezone and re-route because of companies that benefit from its current route, and therefore exert political pressure to have it remain? Who the hell knows, but it isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

    If I'm reading it correctly, they will build on top of the existing building there?

    Driving along this specific section of Westheimer today, there is ZERO room for the existing sidewalk on the east-bound lanes. They are pinched between brick walls and the street as is. Unless they can push the west-bound lanes over, I don't see much room for anything. Past the railway, yes, but not on the Galleria side. By the way.... No railway bridge with all of this added density? This area is going to be a no-go for a loooong time.

    A person who works in commercial real estate, when we were talking about the new projects all around town and how they would affect the housing market Well... yes, less of a dent than would exist if there were no new construction.

    When I was shopping for apartments last summer and asked about all of the new construction, I was told it will make no dent in apartment rent rates as demand is so high all of the new projects will simply fill existing/future demand. If anything, prices will continue to rise.

    I work in that lovely white building on Shepderd, and gotta say this area is getting more and more dense by the month. In addition those funky chateau things on San Felipe, there's the residential project going up at the old Cafe Adobe lot and now this office building. Another building going up next to Hot Bagel Shop, and that rather large apartment complex just to the right of the proposed building. Completely different context from Ashby, I can't imagine this won't get done.

    Rode by this the other day on my bike, it looked like there may be shops facing Main after all. Could be mistaken, but it looked like open space that wasn't taken up by apartments or parking...

    My lord... Read the article and understand it before replying! When all is said and done, how much is $1.6m in damages compared to the cost of construction?

    Doesn't list any height or number of floors in the pdf. Just SF for offices, hotels, etc. In short, we don't know yet.

    Misread the intention! I meant to highlight all of what you had said as being true

    All of the above. Ever been to a truly dense city? Trust me, Houston traffic is child's play inside the loop.

    And the nice thing about density is, the more people moving in, the safer it gets in terms of people on the streets after dusk.
