  1. That said, it's turned into a bland box. Must be another casualty of inflation of labor and materials.
  2. HBJ describes this as being near Rice University. It will cost about $49 million for the 269 units in the complex. Maybe one of our developer lurkers can tell us how big a building you get for $49 million. http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/morning_call/2015/01/more-inner-loop-luxury-apartments-planned.html
  3. There's been an interesting move in the market in the last couple of days. Oil appeared to move up slightly in reaction to news that the number of rigs drilling for oil dropped by 50 in the past week, according to Baker Hughes. I have this ugly suspicion that the Saudis are and the rest of the OPECers are going to wait for the count to go down sufficiently, then arrange to cut their production by a million or 2 million barrels. Then watch prices go up. And the cycle begins all over again.
  4. No, I think Campo has hired a hit man and intends to bury all critics six feet under the parking lot. Just because he's the developer doesn't mean he isn't a blooming idiot.
  5. Well, January 2015 demo, April 2015 start, so let's not get ahead of ourselves...
  6. That's not a Hines ride, that's the beginnings of an Art Car.
  7. Don't forget lawyers and accountants. They also take their share of space. That said, it would be cool if Houston could lure somebody like Caterpillar to pull up stakes and come to town.
  8. My guess is core and shell is that much, and later we'll start seeing permits for fit-out at $10-15 million per floor. Either that or they're just building a garage. $24 million seems too much for just demo and sitework.
  9. Nothing's been designed, but there's now a construction permit listed in HBJ. $24 million - superstructure and garage.
  10. The cynic in me says in five years they'd just throw the same crap up on the site but five years on. Might as well get it over with; I'm not getting any younger.
  11. Looks busy, but we'll have to wait for them to place the mat.
  12. Gee, first LA Fitness takes the NE corner of Bellfort and Chimney Rock, now this. Can one imagine someone redeveloping Westbury Square next?
  13. I see a sandbox. Does this mean a groundbreaking is imminent?
