    That's not rain; that's flowable fill!

    The appeal is by the developer. Given the limited number of plaintiffs and the small awards relative to the development cost of the building, I would have thought it was chump change just to get rid of a few ankle-biters.

    Oddly enough, the people who are suing to stop the highrises because of the traffic they cause don't want the bus lanes to the rail line.

    But the millionaires will love it.

    We could never do that; the TSA would be all over us in an instant.

    And another earthmover brings a fresh pile of documents to the courthouse.

    I'm guessing there's a certain amount of relocation and a certain amount of expansion. Foster Wheeler's also in the market for an extra 325,000 sf somewhere. And if Rick Perry's bribes marketing are successful, maybe there will be a California transplant or two in downtown Houston.

    What - Fertitta wants to build a casino there?

    This one's going up as fast as Skyhouse.

    I thought this was a residential building. Isn't the hotel located on another parcel?

    And on the other side will be that twisted tower. If that's still a realistic project.

    I'm guessing another office building. The positioning makes sense.

    '"The bar has been raised," said managing director Aaron Thielhorn.' The building's going to have a mixed-drinks concession on the top floor?

    It goes with the red phone booth.

    It will be dense development, depending on what "dense" is. St. John's currently has some major expansion going on at its campus. The disappearance of this building and the Shell lab in Bellaire mark the passing of an era. Kind of like the closure of the HAL-PC club.

    Heh, the bad news is the location is too successful, so the current tenants don't want to leave. I suppose it could be worse - a replay of 1986, perhaps...

    This one was posted to SSP earlier this year. I'm not sure where it is. I'd have to do a search.

    I count 12 all the way around. The center section has one floor of the 7 residential floors obscured.
  19. toxtethogrady
    Well, that's decidedly underwhelming. No interest in first floor retail?
  20. toxtethogrady
    I'm surprised they lopped two floors off the building. They didn't think they could find enough tenants?
  21. toxtethogrady
    So is this office or residential? I would assume they don't need to worry about pre-leasing if they're building condos.

    Someone needs to tell Dallas that Houston's got 82 companies that did a billion dollars in business last year. And we didn't have to poach them from anywhere else.

    One guy is grousing about traffic. But he has the misfortune to also be a tort reform advocate, so he looks a bit of a hypocrite.

    Swamplot's also saying there's a second phase - 258 units. The latest render appears to show the second building, which is almost as tall as the first.

    The cynic in me says we're looking at four apartment wraps and a few bike paths. The real estate is definitely valuable - close to Downtown, access to the light rail. In DC, it would already have been developed. Those derelict car dealerships along the North Freeway are getting redeveloped, so I can't imagine this site's being ignored.
