    And you won't be able to see the forest for the trees? I also remember the ZaZa was supposed to be the big attraction. At this point, I think the Alessandra downtown will get built first.

    So does that mean that his plan for 10-story anatomically correct statues of Greek gods and goddesses around the base would be a bit off-putting?

    Yes - in addition to this one, there is Amegy Bank's building on the old Micro Center site. (To say nothing of Skyhouse, the Davis condo and all the projects on the other side of the freeway).

    You guys are a bit rich for my blood. High end in downtown Fort Worth can be had for $1800 a month.

    Looks like the Tom Bradley International HEB.

    So does anyone want to spill the beans on SSP?

    Remember that City Hall's a little backed up on the permitting process and there are labor shortages affecting construction. So a delay might be expected.

    The brochure just outlines the parcel, but the Kirby Collection is not a bad guess. Otherwise, it's going to be six floors of apartments on two floors of parking (isn't everything these days?).

    2017's a long 12 months. Any idea when it would start?

    Actually, given their name, I thought they were undertakers. But I like this building.
  11. toxtethogrady
    That could get a little cramped. We'll see what gets wedged onto that unused acre.

    Is it my imagination or has this list lost a couple of projects? There used to be 40. Any word on the MIA's?

    Okay, suburban shopping centers WITHOUT a sea of parking. All I know is the developments around the DART stations all seem to be apartments on retail with a parking structure nearby, and they seem to be doing well.

    Hope it looks nice and starts soon.

    Apparently other residents hate the name Tampico Heights; Houstonia magazine caught all kinds of grief when they used that name to describe it.

    Let's see - 560 units on two blocks. That's 280 apiece. Unless these are small units, we're talking about something with as many residence as the Skyhouses. So maybe it really is 20 floors?

    If they're starting in March 2015, they'll have only 21 months to get the project done before Super Bowl weekend. That's cutting it close. I also have the nagging suspicion they will ditch a few of the more high-end architectural frills to keep the cost within budget.

    Northside, er, Tampico Heights, was already in the crosshairs. This just happens to be a nice big expanse of cleared flat-as-a-pancake.

    Some of the information in the brochure looked a bit dated, and there were odd errors throughout (Giorgio Barlenghi?). I'm curious that HFF had to push that hard to get a partner for a development with a Wal-Mart and a Marriott onsite. But some of the proposals intrigued me. The two separate office towers proposed on Post Oak Boulevard, none of which are in the database? Awfully quiet promotion for two buildings, each exceeding 300,000 sf in space. I also see the Apache Tower is advertised as 900,000 sf of development; that's bigger than the Capitol Tower downtown, and that's 35 stories. The Randall Davis residential property is on the same block as the Skyhouse; I think one's going to top out before the other starts, and the individual units in the Davis property will be smaller than the units in the Cosmo or the Belfiore. Also, where's the Westcreek property map?

    The Russian judge gives that a 10.
  21. toxtethogrady
    The NRG regional headquarters isn't enough?
  22. toxtethogrady
    They still have to be 700 sf or less to fit the limit.
  23. toxtethogrady
    So what is it - animal, vegetable or mineral?
  24. toxtethogrady
    Never going to happen in this town ever again. But you can always check out the Section 8s on Fondren. Or the offerings around Lake Worth in Fort Worth.

    BisNow says the Alessandra is still scheduled to open in late 2016. One of the hold-ups is the same thing that is affecting all Houston projects - it's taken longer to get started because of higher costs and labor shortages. That may only get worse.
