    For a state struggling to pay its bills, it will be interesting to see how CA pulls this off (in CA the state is raising the money; in TX it's private investment). Also, on the radio this morning, I heard the CA governor chuckle when asked about the money; he said.....something along the lines of "eh heh...we will get it done". It sounded a lot like "I have no idea where the money will come from but we will make it happen because we are the first to get high-speed rail." If I lived in CA and heard my governor acting as if money just appears out of thin air, I'd be furious. More power to them; I hope they do not go bankrupt before it's finished.

    too bad they couldn't bring themselves to have mixed use buildings. i understand they have to rush to capture demand that is off the charts....it's still disappointing when i see the development. it's a lost opportunity to continue what had begun in the waterway square district. so boring...

    it's been slow periodically over the last two weekend in the woodlands. i do not know if it is weekend thing or not; maybe they are doing some sort of maintenance during slower usage periods. i've noticed it, however.

    it's interesting how new designs are utilizing passive cooling features like brise soleil; yet 800 bell will be stripped of its very modern (some would say timeless) fins. the picture above is a beautiful building that takes its cue from a mid century design aesthetic. as a city, we seem to be ok with tearing down existing mid century structures but love new buildings with similar features.

    like the other, more local, cracker facilities coming on line soon; this one will also benefit the region's economy. cheap natural gas makes facilities like these feasible. http://fuelfix.com/blog/2014/10/27/sasol-approves-plan-for-8-1-billion-ethane-cracker-near-lake-charles/

    Name calling and personal attacks are not allowed. I'm tired of monitoring your posts. Follow the rules of conduct for HAIF or the moderators will begin issuing warning points; too many warnings will lead to expulsion from the site.

    thanks for that houston19514. i noticed this as well but wasn't going to take the time to break it out. albeit that energy and manufacturing are closely tied together; i wonder how much of trade/transport can be tied to energy. also, if energy was separated in the past, perhaps it was because it had been significant enough to be separated.

    exciting....except for the "perry homes" part. more red brick cookie cutter townhomes with electric poles out front......NOT my first choice.

    one of the rare occasions where the finished product exceeds the initial renderings. i'm surprised at how much i like this completed compared to how i felt when i first saw the renderings.

    A Neuhaus & Taylor facade....and we will probably get another abomination like the new 800 Bell. Philistines.

    ....hmmmm....so, he's not sure if it will happen but there is an awesome model. i'd say fundraising and investment are either already in full swing or about to be. even if that plan isn't realized specifically; something will happen in that direction.
