    This town can't build apartments fast enough to meet demand. I still have to bet that there's room for the 38-story tower to go up sooner rather than later. The Marquette (er, Catalyst) starts out of the ground next week.

    The trees along the West Loop appear to be gaining height and starting to provide some screening of the neighborhoods. They've just planted trees along I-10 from downtown out to 610, and it already looks nice. Where they've done this it's been a good thing.
  3. toxtethogrady
    For Houston, yes. It just depends on how strong demand is. Right now, the city is good for 24,000 apartment units a year.

    Seriously. Okay, it's not quite the Unstoppable Sex Machine...

    The previous unit count was 309 in a 40 floor building, or slightly more than 7.5 per floor. Unless there's a density increase, the floor count would have to be 40 atop 12 (or beside 12). Incidentally, the initial rendering of the building appeared to be 23 atop 9.

    We don't have renders of the EaDo, either. We may just have to wait.

    I didn't think there was room for all that side-by-side on the site. But it could be...
  8. toxtethogrady
    If somebody didn't describe this one wrong.
  9. toxtethogrady
    This one is now described in at least real estate summary as a 40-story building atop a 12-level parking podium. Any clarification?
  10. toxtethogrady
    Incidentally, that downtown inventory mentioned Block 98 - 40 floors of residences on a 12-level parking structure. Is that a misprint?

    The last time I looked, Houston had 36 highrises over 10 floors under construction. Calgary is pretty close to that number, but I think Houston's ahead. Toronto is just off the charts, and some of the highrises under construction are fairly tall. I'm not sure what's encouraging that growth.

    Maybe this weekend. Allowing the crane to go up in early November.

    Another five level wonder...
  14. toxtethogrady
    So they want to claim part of the setbacks. How often is that permitted to happen?

    ConocoPhillips claimed a similar size piece of Energy Towers III, IV and V. In addition ExxonMobil picked up a large block of space in Hughes Landing in the Woodlands.

    And drinking Gallo?
  17. toxtethogrady
    Is it 4 levels below grade or 4 levels of parking below the apartments themselves? I can't imagine a good reason why a developer would want to dig four levels into the gumbo for a parking garage when it's cheaper to build up rather than build down.

    I've forgotten, but it's not a small piece. So are the corporate campuses the other oil companies are building.

    Talk about your basic industrial blue and white...
  20. toxtethogrady
    No, that's been repurposed.

    I thought nobody was building malls in the US anymore.
  22. toxtethogrady
    Yeah, but people coming to the games have to have some place to park.

    Today's BisNow mentions a residential tower as part of the Galleria expansion. I'm not sure whose that will be, but they seemed pretty definite it will be built.
  24. toxtethogrady
    Personally, I would like to see something that looks like the Woodlands Gate development. I doubt that one will ever be built, but it looks nothing like any other development in this city - or elsewhere in the country. It would add some spice to Downtown.
  25. toxtethogrady
    Still looks the same.
