    This ^^ Everyone who is giving Campo grief needs to understand this is a debt market that has dried up. A few players have gotten financing in the past 24 months, but most have not. The institutional money and debt will flow back into this town, it will just take time. Chill out.

    Was here last night and they did a fantastic job with this hotel. Biggios was great and the food was really good, job well done.

    I think Fertita's hotel will be extremely successful. Having a Mastros there alone is a huge draw for some clientele.

    Another nice tidbit from McRaven: The purchase alarmed University of Houston supporters and others who see a UT presence in the state’s largest city as an unwanted development. McRaven, however, said Thursday that he believes Houston will be for 21st century America what New York City was in the 20th century, and that the state’s premier university system should have a presence there.

    The former. And yes, I was in CHI 3 weeks ago. Wrigleyville is great and they have some very exciting new developments underway right next to the ballpark.

    This area is going to be a boom for all empty lots surrounding MMP. This is very bold, but I think Houston could have the best ballpark neighborhood at the end of all this.

    Wonder if this is still in play.. June 10, 2016 "While Bill is a pioneer in historic preservation in Houston, some might be surprised to find out he's also building a shiny new convention center hotel (breaking ground after the Super Bowl) and helping to pioneer hot new developments in young neighborhoods like Midtown, where he is serving as chairman of the Midtown District. Bill is proving you can cherish the young and old at the same time."Read more at: https://www.bisnow.com/houston/news/hotel/bill-franks-is-proving-houston-is-serious-about-preservation-61229?utm_source=CopyShare&utm_medium=Browser

    I'm a little surprised on how much criticism Ric Campo receives. I don't think he feels like an idiot, considering he chaired the committee that got the Super Bowl here in the first place.

    I wonder when we'll get an update on if any retail tenants have been secured. This would be a great location for a decent clothier.

    I'm okay with letting this sit for the time being. I'd like to see the natural progression with a few years after all these high-end residential units coming online.

    the MM turned out so well. I can't wait until the boutique hotel above Partnership tower gets announced and is underway. This area is becoming very flashy and sleek.
  13. CREguy13
    You're wrong. Clearly they will put a glass face on it, it's a class A LEED Platinum trophy tower.
  14. CREguy13
    Please happen. http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2017/01/06/exclusive-bank-of-america-in-talks-to-anchor-new.html?ana=e_hstn_bn&u=vGxNhcLx9%2BPnmdSYO2C5Vg0c3cb350&t=1483743383&j=76997101

    This really looks great. Can't wait to see what happens with Block 98, the boutique hotel being announced on top of Partnership Tower, and the future development of the block north of the Marriott Marquis. This area will draw so much positive attention during the Super Bowl for the next building cycle.
  16. CREguy13
    They want the convention center to be representative of Houston and its power lines.

    That shot of 609 Main looks like a beautiful rendering that wouldn't come to fruition... but came to fruition.

    Spent some time here this weekend. I feel more confident about downtown apartments and condos being successful after visiting. The finishes in the common areas,units are very high-end and very well done. It was still under construction in the hallways, but this place is great.
  19. CREguy13
    That remains to be seen. As more amenities (restaurants, entertainment, shops, etc.) pour into downtown making it a 24/7 destination, land prices will continue to go up and it will depend on how the developer can make their margins work.
  20. CREguy13
    I know I've harped on this in the past, but the impact this building will have on the surrounding area will be transformational. I think we will start to see some high-end hotels in this area of the CBD. Pennzoil, Capitol Tower, Bank of America, Chase Tower, BG Group Place, and 609 Main are the best assets downtown. The next 5-10 years will be very exciting.
  21. CREguy13
    Perhaps the good news is there is more of a market for higher-priced, for-sale units downtown. If that's the case, it could lead to more dynamic developments in the next cycle.
  22. CREguy13
    I will see you there - friends just moved in this month.
  23. CREguy13
    Hopefully we get an update on this project in the coming weeks as the Marriott clears its staging area. Whether its shelved, delayed, or moving forward, any update would be appreciated.
  24. CREguy13
    Although we haven't quite gotten to the big show, this city and all of its public-private partnerships has done an incredible job transforming this corner of the CBD. I think it will show great to investors from around the country/world that will be here during the festivities.

    @BTT what do you propose this site should be used for? Stating City Center was a failure early on carries little weight when it is repeatedly used as an example of mega successful mixed-use projects. Several people on this forum are in the industry, so be careful not to lose credibility early on. There is nothing controversial about this article.
