    Then again, they may be counting on EB-5 visa seekers to fund it.

    Well, there is that whole Iraq War thing...

    Game on!

    As it is, there will be four highrises planned or constructed on a block where there were none a year ago. That's certainly a lot of infill, and it may be only part of it.

    They also claim they will start without presales (and even that their lender will agree to it). Either their lender has a lot of confidence, or the builder is pulling our leg.

    I'm sure Amegy Bank feels the same way...

    They're still showing the old render for the Saudi Consulate.

    You also bring your Trader Joe's Bran Flakes to the office?

    It had me thinking he was coming back from a rave in Ibiza.

    Just tell me if they're driving Audis.

    I think we drove Volkswagen Beetles back in 1974.

    That was Austin 20 years ago. It worked real well, didn't it?

    So we have a disagreement, unless Crosspoint and Senterra are developing the property together. This is the same block that was envisioned for a 16-story residential. In any event, Van Loc just closed for good.

    The building permit for Elan Memorial Park East showed up in the permits section of the HBJ. I do not know if it's Phase I or Phase II. It's at 920 Westcott Street, if that's any hint.

    That might be the Randall Davis building. Or even the Skyhouse. I can't tell from the placement.

    I'm getting a Gerald Hines vibe from it. Okay, but not spectacular.

    I suspect this concept is dead, the land is changing hands and the new developer is behind the office building and the other highrises.

    And in a nod to true HSPVA tradition, there's a trombone player rehearsing in there...

    Yay! They twerked the design. (At least on that side). I can see Mr. Trongone in the orchestra room shouting, "Hahns! What am I heah for??"

    At the moment, 59 is not as jam-packed with development as 45, 290 and 10 are. So there's room to grow. But at this pace of development, they may soon have to stretch the Woodlands district all the way to the statue of Sam Houston.

    Pad sites for those make sense.

    10,000 and 8,000 sf? Those are shacks. What's going in them?
  23. toxtethogrady
    No one will touch that property unless they think they can get a higher and better use out of it.

    Seems like only yesterday the cranes went up.

    The Hamilton was the subject of an urban blogger's post, picked up by Swamplot. He makes some valid points; neartown Houston, pricewise, is not family friendly. It isn't really affordable for many folks. Affordable housing needs to be incentivized. http://www.cdandrews.com/2014/10/downtown-houston-families-and.html
