  1. For some reason, no one likes naming things "Chelsea". Though it is one of the poshest districts in London.
  2. Did you say "dirty" or "dutty"? Ah, roamin' around H Town.
  3. You watch: this building will be as orange as the rendering. This seems to be popular with Hispanic-oriented development. Orange is the new black.
  4. Not only is it cool, but they're expanding their capital investment for next year. Not everyone's scared off by the drop in the price of oil.
  5. More likely Skyhouse Willis, followed by Skyhouse Brookshire. Actually, this sort of development would fit well in Galveston, but I don't sense residential highrises are very active, saleswise, on the Island.
  6. That makes two residential highrises breaking ground in the first week of the new year.
  7. 1111 took a while to get started but is moving up smartly. Same thing will probably happen with this one. I'm sort of hoping the pullback in oil prices will put a hiatus on the "there is a shortage of everything" problem that Houston has had for the past year. It will be interesting to see how significant the impacts are from there...
  8. Don't feel bad about the slowness. Fort Worth has been working on the downtown courthouse for more than two years.
  9. I was in one of the first W Hotels when it opened in San Francisco in 2000. Very hip, very cool, very much ambient music and subdued colors. The problem is everyone else has seen what was done with the W and is imitating it. I'm guessing the ZaZa and the Sorella have the same stylistic points, and I'm anxious to see what the Indigo offers. The Derek is good, but very hip-hop. You almost expect to see the visiting teams that are playing the Rockets there.
  10. "It would be only the second Alessandra brand. The first is under construction in Houston." Do they know something we don't?
  11. I think they are only building the two, but they're large floor plates. The additional buildings are going to be more warehouse/industrial, as far as I know.
  12. Actually, that's false, as the last couple of private-venture rockets blew up on launch. Government seems to be ahead in this race. Also, while you're hating on government, I hope you're appreciating the government-created internet that's allowing you to do so here.
  13. Water wall, eh? Because Hines liked the one out at the Galleria so much...
