  1. And what has Dallas promised that actually lived up to the hype? Yeah they secured the 2 billion..project but that will be spread across three different cities including Houston.. so ultimately it became more of a bragging right, than a tangible game changer... Meanwhile TMC Helix is still in early build out
  2. If Houston hopes to host another Superbowl, it will have to evolve the area, these new stadiums that come along are not just stadiums anymore their entire entertainment districts and since I doubt we are building a new stadium anytime soon, we will have to find new ways to keep NRG appealing not just for Superbowls but other large scale events Not just NRG but Houston Sports venues as a whole are getting left behind... Was in Denver a few months ago and the area around the Rockys area, made me understand how underutilized the Area around Minunte maid, Toyota and even Shell Engery is by comparison
  3. Really hope they embrace the area , and don't produce yet another generic office/ residential..and really tap into the market they are in , the one thing that area is missing is a central location to tie it together and this could feel that
  4. I'm sure they never considered that while designing them...nope ...not once...no way I mean it not like the first floor of most of these designs begin on like.the 3rd story or anything
  5. There is no real expense as most parks are donated land and the city only has to maintain the property, given the cost to send out a cleaning crew once a month is minimal, it lack of structures( outside of the basketball court and the field... ) it really doesn't even register on the budget
  6. Wasn't going to get into it, but all this" woe is me' is what really embarrassing about this. Yes it sucks to lose out to Dallas, but that the cookie, as someone said, Dallas simply put more effort into it. But Houston is far from hurting .. TMC Helix is still powering along.. and to be honest this could a catalyst for the TMC to push ahead with the rest of it plans like TMC bioport and expansion of the southern portion of the Medical district. The last time Houston lost out on a national bid it spurred the birth of the innovation district , didn't it?) Houston taken some L but also won alot... not getting the Space force...caused Houston to double down on it commit to being a major space hub...( every time I turn around Space port Houston is growing with some new company or contract or building). Remember when Dallas swore the trinity river project would put Houston bayou renovation to shame? Yeah They are still a ditch and we are building whole communities along our bayous now. Shipping channels has to stay being upgraded because it keeps growing. We are Houston we will be better than fine
  7. I'm convinced in time with the right decisions The spaceport could come to be for Houston what the TMC has become.. it might not reach fruition in our life time but 60 to 70 years ... who knows
  8. makes since , up the road from a high school and across the street from the new student housing.. so could see alot of traffic
  9. I'm just glad they stop using the prison population to boost the numbers
  10. the people who comment on sites like the chronical are the least informed people I've ever read.. remember these are the same people who swore DG would just become a homeless camp in a few years after it opens. Google " Houston opens discovery green and read the comments " lmao
  11. if the Bell building goes thu with the conversation , the effect it will have on that area will be massive, with.the demise of the Greyhound and potentially the Mcdonalds ...I think south side will not be recognizable in another 10 years
  12. filled out and vibrant or not always the same thing... for example , I see nothing like main street in Dallas, and with the renewed interest in turning older buildings into residential, that could be a even bigger population boom for the DT area . DG green continues to have a massive effect on it area , it presence lead to the Hilton, The new Residential beside the Hilton, Shanka new tower( and possibly two more) ..plus another high rise or mid rise is planed in that area if memory serves.. the effect have created active clusters the a majority of the time.. That includes other parts of DT like Hermann square, that that park has become a active cluster itself..of high-rises now with the new park ..it only logical to assume we will see at some point it to have a effect on it immediate area.. and really there still huge swash of land on the post..it only a matter of time before a high rise or a hotel comes a knocking wanting to build on that land .. My honest prediction ( DT houston vastly surpass DT Dallas in the next decade ( baring economic chaos)
  13. chronicle did a piece on why Houston shouldn't expect to get back into the super tall race, and basically talked about the FAA and airport business ..I went ....Houston should focus on density anyway, let Austin and Dallas get into pissing contest about Tallest building in Texas... what does it matter if over the next 10 to 15 years we turn our core into a dense walkable zone. imagine a day were Downtown, Monroe, TMC, midtown( via ion district) all bleed into each other
  14. fingers crossed they don't fk this up...they havea opportunity to turn this into a nexus point for Montrose... be bold , be vibrant ...don't slap up a building you can find any where in Houston
  15. the medical center has always been just a collection of office and medical buildings ...this creates a actual centralized gathering spot for , walks, restaurants, shopping etc etc .. a true core for TMC
  16. feel like Montrose & westhimer has the potential to be the central point for Montrose.. but it largely depends on what happens to the lot on the corner... ..don't just throw up some generic builds or apartment complex
  17. what's yall over and under of when it gets it first Highrise?High-rise? I say within thr next 5 years
  18. Think city leaders are wise up to.the reality that for the foreseeable future big office building construction will dramatically slow, so to keep downtown Houston alive , you will have to accelerate it transformation to residential
  19. Feel like projects like this have their best chances of getting off the ground when big events are expected to come to town...because the city becomes obsessed with putting it best foot foward , especially events that will be global
  20. This fits so much better than it current location.. can we petition them to push for the battleship Texas and park it right along the bayou!! . Lmao
