    Well, pat yourselves on the back, guys. The Chron cites HAIF as a source: " Commenters on local architecture website HAIF posted renderings of a five-story apartment complex going up on the site of a now-demolished hotel along the West Loop just north of Richmond."

    And the rents are?

    Does this imply a concrete structure instead of wood?

    Anyway, since there has been some blue-sky discussion about retail for downtown, I was wondering if Neiman Marcus could make it. It wouldn't even need to be a full store, just a boutique. The Dallas downtown Neiman's is still hanging on.

    LaBare? I remember hearing about that from my early Dallas days, then it showed up on cable TV today. Everything old is new again?

    Friends don't let friends drive Ford F150s. One less yobbo off the streets for a while.

    AND NOW ANOTHER THING HOUSTON HAS A SHORTAGE OF: http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/print-edition/2014/11/28/my-kingdom-for-a-welder-how-houston-will-fill.html "The Houston region needs to fill almost 300,000 jobs in the next three years in what is known as the "middle-skills" market — people who need additional training, but not necessarily university degrees — and the rush is on to find solutions. There are more new partnerships between education and the energy sector than ever before, industry and college officials contend. Many of these jobs pay close to $100,000 within a few years, but filling them represents arguably the biggest challenge facing the energy and petrochemical booms.>>"

    Not so oddly enough, Obama's executive order granting 5 million Hispanics a limited amnesty could be a boon to project managers looking to get their buildings completed in a timely fashion.

    It would be lost downtown.

    AND NOW WHY IS THIS PROJECT TAKING SO LONG...?

    Yes, and those rings are stainless steel.

    Got my invite to the groundbreaking. Going to drop in on all my old alumni pals.

    The only problem is right now they only want money for a study. I'm not sure Kickstarter is the place for it, but they need to start raising money to build it.

    That's like saving the clown...

    AND NOW ANOTHER THING HOUSTON HAS A SHORTAGE OF: This morning's BisNow contains this little tidbit: "Here’s our moderator, BURY principal Steve Eklund with Seeberger Associates’ Perry Seeberger. Steve says development timelines have been brutal—on day one in his office, he’s already a month behind. Availability of labor is a huge problem, and construction costs are up about 7% again this year, and projected to do the same in 2015."

    So going down means they're going up.

    Can't be. All the good lighthouses are along the Katy Freeway.

    What have I wrought?

    Not even God himself can fix the problems with 610...

    AND NOW ANOTHER THING THAT HOUSTON HAS A SHORTAGE OF: http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2014/10/23/housing-shortage-looms-for-houston-baby-oomers.html Houston faces one of the largest housing shortages for Baby Boomers in the country, according to a new report. Metrostudy Corp., a national housing research and consulting firm with an office in Houston, analyzed the current housing market for Boomers. It found that Houston has the second-largest deficit nationally for Baby Boomer housing. The Bayou City could face a shortage of more than 260,000 homes for active adults 55 and older...

    Took this 11/23. Three going up in one shot; it's like being in Shenzhen:

    I'm guessing 4, possibly 5 units per floor. Two units per floor would be some huge individual units or a small floor plate. The only thing comparable would be the building rumored for Manhattan that would be one unit per floor.

    That caught my eye, too. First, who? Second, where's the shoehorn to fit that in the space?
