  1. The Whitehall renovation was aroun 5 million if I recall.
  2. Slightly confused. The referring of the shopping center are no way off?
  3. This reminds me of a taller version of the Memorial City Mall Westin Hotel, especially from above the way its angled.
  4. I wonder if the age demo is different than that of DT Houston. Austin definitely has a younger vibe DT and just a better one all together
  5. 2 years to complete? Wow... Good to see it starting though
  6. Man that was a lot faster than I imagined! Can’t wait to see the renderings.
  7. Here’s a permit from last week for a concert pad on this block. c/o @chrisandrewsCDA on twitter.
  8. Says adult content and won’t let me view unless I’m signed in???
  9. I would seriously thinking about getting a condo at 2016 Main if Greyhound moves. That block would explode.
  10. Serious question because I don’t know..... are all Greyhound stations in the US dealing with the same issues we do here in Houston? I can’t imagine there’s really a nice one right...?
  11. Project by project, block by block, this city is being remade and I absolutely love watching it happen.
  12. Wonder when the updates to the park are in line for?
  13. Nice! Share the link I would like to take a look at said thread
  14. In my dreams I often ponder of Destroying the Embassy hotel and building there, but realistically I think the lot directly behind the Embassy next to One Park Place would be a good fit. I’m saving my real disappointment for whatever is built behind the Marriott I’m still in wait and see mode. I can totally change my mind and be wrong. I fall guilty to wanting every building built to be a landmark lol but I appreciate anything that adds to this city.
  15. Design aside, putting this on top of the tower adds nothing new at street level, that’s a critique I mentioned . I like the new experiences new buildings provide, and by building on an empty lot I feel like we would get that experience as oppose to throwing it on top of an building that’s already there.
  16. My disappointment comes in the fact that we’ve been anticipating a W forever here on this site. Going from seeing several crazy, cool, out-of-the-box renderings in the past to what from the looks of it (I acknowledge it’s VERY early) is a 15 story box, forgive me if I’m not head over heals. I have a ton of civic pride so I want the best of everything for us, and I definitely want our stuff to be as or more impressive than our sister cities stuff. And to respond to your comment of ignoring the fact that it’s being built on top of 10 story building (making it 25 stories), my main complaint about that was I want to wait and see if it changes street interaction/presence or if it creates a new feel to the area.
  17. 15 story tower? Far cry from the cool renderings we saw in uptown. I’m really down on the W at this location. I really hope the renderings suggest more than just a 15 story tower plopped on top of a building.
  18. I’m just not sure we’re going to notice a difference in street presence, connectivity and interaction. Seems to me they’re just throwing a hotel on top. This is without seeing any real renderings but I’m just not sure how they would accomplish any of the things I mentioned.
