    No problem. It took me a bit to find a couple weeks ago.

    Amazing how many topics in 4th Ward and Midtown turn into how much people don't like the poors.

    The information is in one of the previous pages.

    The exposed side is interesting. It wasn't finished since a garage was there. Wonder what they do now.

    It and a lot of the Freedoms Town area near the development aren't going anywhere from my understanding. A lot of that area is historically protected so it can't be. It's like the shotgun houses off West Gray.

    Thanks for the solid write-up. I deal with RFQs and RFPs at my job but know my company would pass on a "competition" unless there was a specific reason to chase the work. It is what I typically refer to as free consulting. If the client or project are worth the risk then maybe pursue it but in general the bigger players have enough other work to chase.

    How does this work? Since it is a competition it seems different than a formal RFP process. I don't know how architecture bids work as far as design goes. It seems like this would be looking for "free" designs by making it a competition. Or is it normal to provide a design as part of a RFP and then once awarded the project, flesh out how it would work in reality?

    I would have to think the company was smart enough to know what they could develop before going this far ahead with design but then again it is amazing at what gets ignored or looked over in development.

    I would like if they just took the old trees and relocated them like The Post Oak development did.

    Great reporting and I like that you told him you were on HAIF so they still feel comfortable sharing knowing it'll go more public

    I still like it even though I really loved the offset look it had before. I count 33 stories as others have. 40 would have been amazing but glad this project is moving forward and will take up that massive empty plot.

    I get I went too far but NIMBY stuff just wears thin on me. I can't stand those with the haves pushing things on the have nots just because they can afford to lawyer up. They are basically saying the development is fine as long as it isn't in my prestigious neighborhood. If someone was to say hey this development isn't warranted anywhere period, that is one thing. But when it's not here but over there is okay even though it affects that area as much as it would affect us, that is where I have a problem.

    Boohoo NIMBYs "There are plenty of commercial sites not within an existing prestigious neighborhood and street that would be more accommodating / have adequate parking, etc. for this massive high rise retirement residence." Go eff yourself

    What floor are they currently on?

    Trashy trailer with boarded up windows is now onsite

    Second tower crane going up

    Yeah as long as it's less than 5 acres. It has to do with stormwater protections based on soil disturbance (surface area, not depth) and not the scale of the project. So a supertall that costs 100's of millions could be "small" and a warehouse could be "large".
  19. thatguysly
    <5 acres of soil disturbance

    The lot is cleared and the strip center next door is almost complete.

    Drove by around 6:30 this morning. Had all the equipment in place. Looked really cool.
  22. thatguysly
    They have been doing a lot out here recently. They "officed" onsite last month and have the fence up, and mowing and other crews working daily. Should be neat and tie in nicely to a sidewalk that finished recently along Sims.

    I have worked in this area since 2015 and have seen: BHP, Post Oak, Arabella, the ugly RD one (I forget the name), Amegy, Skyhouse, the one next to Skyhouse, the other one going up next to that, two Hanover towers, and I barely missed the BBVA building. Plus the 4400 Post Oak that just started.

    I like the subtle LED lighting on the Westheimer side

    Setbacks remind me of the post oak
