  1. That's the thing; 545 is per person, if you get a basic one bedroom unit, which is split between two people. An efficiency is around 800+. I spoke to someone a bit back about it since I was interested in housing next semester, but it's too pricey for me, esp since I will have to rely on loans. I'm not exactly sure how much the regular dorms are; anyone care to fill me in on that?
  2. Oh and yes...those new Calhoun lofts start at around 800 dollars a month. At that price, I could probably get a decent efficiency somewhere in Midtown or something.
  3. They were probably just testing it out. AFAIK, the structure on top is not 100% complete yet.

  5. Anyone remember this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KyEcKV4iX8
  6. Neato; the structure of the tower portion is really interesting. Looks like it will be some sort of atrium, or stairwell, unless they intend to close the openings. Thanks for taking the pics, mate!
  7. I wonder what stores they will have at the base of the Calhoun Lofts? I'm getting tired of the current food offerings. A Chipotle would be nice.
  8. Fail. I've seen better AutoCAD work from 8th graders.
  9. Well, if they were covered up before, then I guess the ones I saw earlier were new. I don't remember any banners on any wire fences the last time I passed that intersection (which was just a few days prior).
  10. Drove by earlier; there is a fence that is up across the street from the existing structure covered in banners/renderings/etc. Might be on hold due to the economy, but this doesn't look too far off, consider how many other properties they managed to get done lately.
  11. If I am not mistaken, the proposed highrise is a ways off from the sites shown in the model. Perhaps it is a different phase?
  12. The story seems quite vague; did they approve the tax incentive, or did they approve the actual project? Eh?
  13. I like how it seems to flow off of the Cooley building from that angle. For some reason, the people in the shot look photoshopped! Edit: The building contains the following institutes and research centers. - Cockrell Center for Advanced Therapeutics. - Dagmar, Dow, Dunn Innovators in Translational Research. - Jerold B. Katz Academy of Translational Research.
  14. It can even be seen from 59! Did they add a couple of floors to it, or something? Oh, and what's that going up just to the left of it? Despite the economy, that area has a ton fo stuff going up atm.
