I guess everyone can't share my viewpoints. I just can't understand why anyone would want a dark and subtle skyline for the 4th largest city in America.

I'm with ricco, How do you know this?

I absolutely love the new Wells Fargo lighting. I liked the color changing scheme it had last night but agree they should slow the color changing down just a tad. It was so busy, it almost reminded me of the Reunion Tower Ball in downtown Dallas, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I just don't want them to give stupid residents a reason to start complaining and thus ruining it everyone. There really is no nighttime skyline to ruin. The Wells Fargo lighting is simply adding character to an otherwise dark and drury skyline. What are you talking about?

Guilty! I was merely besing my reservation on the one in our neighbors to the north!

I can't really see a W or a Ritz Carlton going in that building unless they do a complete rennovation and building conversion. This is great news nonetheless!
-
yes great news, except for the reduction in retail!

GreenStreet: Mixed-Use Development At 1201 Fannin St.
C2H replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
So Reliant is moving into H/P? I wonder what's going to happen to 1000 Main? And will it go dark like the former Continential Building? -
GreenStreet: Mixed-Use Development At 1201 Fannin St.
C2H replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
this is great news. I still wish we could get more retail in this establishment though! -
how whack is that? no retail, restaurant, nothing? I don't get it, this is a perfect opportunity to do something great. That location is prime for some ground retail or restaurant development. Right across the street from the Park! Why can't these companys do that in downtown Houston?
-
Good news for Pearland. Bad news for downtown. I thought things would be getting better for downtown once the Pavilions and Disco Green got off the ground. If downtown is in the maturization phase from the hip hop club scene, it sure isn't making for a more active downtown.
-
Like someone said earlier, air conditioning also has diluted the street scene from downtown. You're forgetting that alot of those new people from the population are in the tunnels. I don't know what other answers you could be looking for.
-
Downtown was the hotspot then, the only game in town. That was before sprawl of Houston took over and before downtown had competition from other areas like: TMC, Uptown, Greenway Plaza and Greenspoint.
-
Looks like the night scene has definitely moved away from downtown to Washington Avenue. It sure would be nice if both areas could keep its night activity without one sucking it away from another.
-
bummer. now it looks like DFW's fortune 500 list is equal to or even may surpaass ours. We just lost Continential. It's looking like a dark time for Houston!
-
good news. i hope this ignites a spark that eventually lead to redevelopment of the ugly stretch between downtown and Greenspoint.

The building is real ugly but what would be worse? It would have been worse had this hotel went the way of La Quinta and gotten scrapped altogether. Considering Houston has had a history of plans getting scrapped, i say that the fact the hotel got built at all is a good thing.
-
Those pics that urbanizer posted show the true scaling back of this project. If the final design of this building was a person, it would look like the equivalent of their head being chopped off and only leaving the shoulders.

Another 1980 baby in the house! Happy Pre-lated birthday!

I probably don't get out enough. Maybe it has something to do with me turning 30 this year. LOL

I know people have been saying this area has been slowly dying for years since 2004/2005.It seems like this area has fallen off extremely. It used to be filled with people. I'm not talking about the 2004/2005 era, even after that, the street still managed to stay crowded with people on Fridays and Saturday nights. I went down there this past Friday and the scene was depressing. There were a few people down there but not like the crowds there once were. Even last year or earlier this year, there was still a crowded scene off Main Street. I thought with the addition of Houston Pavilions and other surrounding developments, the area would have gotten better, not worse. House of Blues didn't have much action going on. There was hardly no one there, and it appeared that quite a few of the clubs had closed. Maybe there's my answer, but does anyone know for sure? I don't think this area lost all of its energy when most caucasions decided to start hanging out in Midtown. even afterwards, it still managed to stay pretty LIVE with Hip-Hoppers. Club Glo at night used to be bumping. The area where the M Bar used to be also still had crowds around that area. Is this area becoming a thing of the past for nightlife? I'm not sure if Washington Ave is sucking the night scene from downtown, but I think it would be cool if both areas had something going on at night. Me and my fiance couldn't believe how dead this area has become at night. Is there still hope for it? Opinions please?

It made sense to me!

713/214 may speak some truth, but most of the time he sounds reeall bitter. I guess he got so used used to the buildings that actually do go up in Dallas and sit empty, thus adding to the already extremely high vacancy rate. 713/214, how bout we meet at the NOVE in Victory Park. I'll buy you a drink.

I haven't had a chance to look through the PDF yet but anyone know why the project isn't going forward? That SUCKS!
-
I'm glad that plans are still being talked about west of downtown, but I'm more interested in seeing more aggressive plans about developments and cleaning the Bayou downtown. Like Scarface said, the Bayou is filthy and is more of an eyesore than an assett in the areas of downtown. They need to get a plan to clean up all the trash and actually clean the water of its muddy appearance. There's so much potential with this Bayou and its not being realized.

So, what? Is the movie studio idea dead now?
