Only 46 floors, though. It sounds like this building will not be as tall as some were hoping.

Chevron Tower For Downtown At 1600 Louisiana St.
toxtethogrady replied to tangledwoods's topic in Going Up!
I think this is a non-news event, since I don't know if this bid advertisement is new or old. Normally, they would not post a request unless there were some movement expected (after all, why advertise something if you're still just contemplating your navel?). Let's watch oil prices - which are in the low $80s at the moment.- 1,170 replies

The Hamilton Apartments At 1800 St. Joseph Pkwy.

Plenty of lots being cleared off. The developers seem to like digging holes. And to be fair, it's only been one frigging week. Don't rush them.- 282 replies

So what should be incubated? No one seems to have done much with the superconductors and Buckyballs (which WERE invented in Houston), and I'm not sure what else there is in the way of tech that isn't duplicated in other towns. Maybe it's just better to bring in more museums/art galleries/restaurants/theaters/residential blocks. And a grocery; it's a food desert down there.

It's not been publicized anywhere. I'm surprised no one at Swamplot got a look at the rendering.

Apparently, we REALLY jumped the gun on this one, as Swamplot is reporting only that there is a highrise being discussed on Reddit. http://swamplot.com/midtowns-van-loc-will-lock-up-for-good-this-friday/2014-10-14/

Frankly, this city can't build residences fast enough. Unless oil prices are starting to take a dent out of demand, there are 22,000 rental units being absorbed a year, and 7,000 single family homes a quarter are disappearing. It takes a lot of homes and apartments to support 100,000 new jobs a year.

Generation Park: Mixed-Use In Northeast Harris County
toxtethogrady replied to lockmat's topic in Going Up!
It won't be possible to tell without a close-up. Just the fact that the cranes are moving means something's going on. Either they've got a spot of bad concrete and have to redo some work, or some of their materials are late in arriving.- 192 replies

That was the result of efforts by Dallas City fathers to pursue the industry. It has been a perpetual effort for them to chase corporate headquarters and signature projects; they don't have an industry that calves new companies the way the oil industry in Houston does. Even the airport had to be created.

Vacant Parcel On Westcreek Ln.
toxtethogrady replied to Urbannizer's topic in River Oaks/Upper Kirby/Greenway Plaza/Bissonnet
I have no idea when that supply is supposed to catch up with demand. There are shortages of everything in this town - concrete, labor, lots, people to approve the permits - and home sales are still claiming 7,000 units a quarter. As long as job creation is over 100,000 a year, there will be no shortage of need. As for Chevron, if their revenues start hurting that will only delay the tower. But absent a national recession prices won't stay down for too long.- 91 replies
