Hanover Autry Park: Mixed-Use At Allen Parkway & W. Dallas St.
KinkaidAlum replied to Vertigo58's topic in Going Up!
Looks like tower that is currently rising on screen left. Tallest building looks to be the office tower. New residential to its right. There also appears to be a new midrise office in the back of the project or has that always been there?- 933 replies

Looks like twice weekly service to Provo, Utah this winter. Interesting. I guess it works for ski travel but Park City folks are not flying Allegiant and SLC is closer.

Big Tex Storage Uptown At 4944 Woodway Dr.
KinkaidAlum replied to Highrise Tower's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
Sorry to hear about your Dad. May his memory be a blessing. My best friend lived in Pine Shadows neighborhood and I was off of Green Tree. I used to ride my bike by that building 3-4 times a week and even as a kid I thought it was cool.- 21 replies

Whoa. A single ground lease tenant for 50,000 square feet is a huge space. Trader Joe's? Also, since when has a 40 story residential been a part of this plan? I- 933 replies

The Allen: Mixed-Use Development At Allen Parkway & Gillette St.

From TDECU Stadium, this building appears to be attached to the Southern tip of downtown. It along with 800 Crawford really appear to extend the skyline from that vantage point.- 1,647 replies

Oooh. I like that office tower. And it has a nod to The Wortham Tower just up the road to the East. The Wortham Tower has always been a favorite of mine.- 933 replies

University of Houston Football Stadium
KinkaidAlum replied to KinkaidAlum's topic in Third Ward and University of Houston
I say no to expansion. TDECU is larger than Cincinnati's stadium and basically the same as Baylor and within 10,000 of TCU, Kansas, K State, and UCF. Expansion talk should only happen after 4-5 years of season sellouts. UH needs to finish the press level with more suites (there's room for 4-6 more suites) and add more chair backed seats. I'd like to see the entire lower bowl outside of the student section with chair backs and most of the 200 level. The biggest need is to add ramps to get to the upper deck and add restrooms and concessions on that level. The stairs are a brutal climb. -

2100 Memorial: Senior Housing Demolition & Rebuild
KinkaidAlum replied to Highrise Tower's topic in Going Up!
Ah, man. This makes me sad. I am old enough to remember this Holiday Inn. As a kid, our family used to go on long road trips and I would beg to stay at Holiday Inns because they often had indoor pools. Whenever we'd drive along Memorial to downtown (my dad's office was in the old Humble Bldg) I'd get excited and ask if we were going to this Holiday Inn. It was the gateway to downtown in my mind and the huge world that existed outside of the Tanglewood bubble. RIP, cute gal.- 111 replies

According to US Census, SF had 805,150 residents in April 2010. Current estimates for 2021 by world population stats lists SF with 893,589 residents. It's a shame 2020 numbers will be so off with an administration that ended the Census early and took no effort in accommodating the pandemic in trying to get an accurate numbers. Cities will suffer big time over the next decade with massive undercounts.

San Francisco has grown by about 100,000 people in the last decade. Pretty amazing considering there's nowhere to go but up and SF is full of NIMBYs. Now, metro SF did lose population last year (less than .5% loss) but the city itself grew. Very similar to other metro areas in California wherein cities continued to grow but exurbs so population loss.

Investor purchases represent just 12% of sales in Los Angeles County. It jumps up to 13% in Orange County, 25% in the Inland Empire (Riverside and San Bernardino) and 34% in Ventura. It's part of the story but not the only one. The pandemic has caused people to want to move up and out. Combine that with low lending rates, and there are way more home buyers than houses. That's the main issue. The median home on the market in LA is on for just 8 days. Lastly, Los Angeles (city) grew by around 200,000 this last decade. It did so without annexation and new development. California grew by over 6% year over year. Growth has slowed but it is still growing.

People are definitely leaving California but you'd never know it looking at the market. My house has increased in value by 24% in three years. I get all cash offers to buy in monthly. The demand might not be there in the Inland Empire, but the LA Basin, San Fernando Valley, Orange County, and San Gabriel Valley are booming.

Very similar to the affordable housing that replaced the public housing along Allen Parkway. It also discourages schemers from buying and flipping.

Check out the Catalyst downtown. Slightly more expensive to get in than Skyhouse but I think the location is MUCH better and so are the potential neighbors. It's a walkable location to all the best things but also 2-3 blocks away from being right in it noise wise. Solid amenities and amazing views if you look west or south.
