They've already bury themselves into Spring - that ship sailed a couple of years ago. Hopefully they give some thought into establishing a significant presence ITL, though. HPE Labs at the ion or something.

La Colombe d'Or Hotel Expanding With New Residential High-Rise
swtsig replied to Urbannizer's topic in Going Up!
you're discounting the amount of debt, maintenance and upkeep owning a home requires. pay rent, live where you want, and take that down payment and invest it. doesn't work for everyone but it definitely works for a lot of people.- 479 replies

swtsig replied to Urbannizer's topic in Going Up!
Agreed. It's stately, for lack of a better word. Something that I think works quite well in the Museum District.- 133 replies

I'd support a redevelopment here if it meant street and infrastructure upgrades to westheimer and streets like mcduffie, harold, kipling, hazard, etc. It's incredible to think the city has allowed this area, now officially a very high rent, high profile, cultural and mini-economic engine, to deteriorate to the condition that it has. "Gross negligence" is a term I would consider applicable at this point.

Founders District/The Cannon Mixed-Use at Beltway 8 & I-10
swtsig replied to Urbannizer's topic in Going Up!
what these comments ignore is one itsy bitsy minor point - economics. you want to know why this is located where it is and not "near downtown"? money. go look at what dirt is trading for "near downtown" and compare it to this. it's easy to bemoan something when it isn't your money but the cost difference is massive. and you know who would bare the brunt of those increased costs? the cash-strapped startup community this city is desperately trying to foster. instead of complaining that this doesn't meet some subjective aesthetic or location criteria, how about we support our still t- 54 replies

Montrose Collective: Office Building With Retail Coming To 888 Westheimer
swtsig replied to trymahjong's topic in Going Up!
tech is a broad term but it's the perfect type of tenant for this kind of development. don't think this is a nab from another city as i'm pretty sure they have an existing presence here but i could be wrong. either way it's a great anchor office tenant.- 646 replies
