  1. That explains a couple of recent names on the Houston real estate horizon.
  2. It's looking very much like the site plans. What are the chances for H-E-B or another grocery to grab one of the retail spaces?
  3. I see David Robinson's name attached to the property, per news report. We know about his NBA career, but what's his experience in real-estate?
  4. I am relieved that you said it's a rendering of the bar, as I was afraid for a moment that was a rendering of Phase Two - complete with a gigantic David Adickes statue of the last drunken patron leaving to find his car...🤐😎
  5. It looks very cafeteria-style. Must be anticipating a lunch crowd...
  6. Showroom? I hope someone's paying attention to what Tesla stock's doing. This week really shaved quite a bit of valuation from it...
  7. The only way Biscayne Bay is going to be duplicated is if one of those artificial lagoons gets built in Hermann Park, complete with an artificial blue bottom.
  8. I am perfectly fine with the governmental authorities leaving TikTok alone and banning NextDoor from government phones...
  9. Query from a user on SkyscraperCity about activity on the SW corner of I-45 and Richey Rd. I don't seen anything from the aerials happening yet... SkyscraperCity
  10. Based on the renders, they are doing their level best to disguise the parking floors behind glass. I'm still surprised at the appetite for building office space when there is now a nationwide trend by companies to consolidate into smaller spaces. We'll just have to see if bosses are dead serious about bringing their workers back into the office full-time...
  11. That works out to 2800sf per unit, but I'm assuming some of that is common space, so 1500-2000sf per unit.
  12. Some of those subdivisions on the far west side near and beyond Katy seem to have their own "prairie viewing platforms" (or are they "artificial pond viewing platforms"?). The one recent example is John Paul Landing Park, which is a cross-shaped thing jutting out into a man-made lagoon. Soon everyone will want one...
  13. I suppose the antithesis to car culture is Lagos, which is a good example of not going anywhere on the streets at more than a walking pace. All of the cities on the list have transit, but they also have ring roads and arterials, many of which have been force-fit after the city developed. As for 527, I remember when it terminated at Smith/Louisiana before it got extended to Brazos/Bagby. I think that was an attempt to divert traffic off Louisiana and Smith, to mixed results. Houston is also good at building vestigial stems on freeways - the best example I can think of is the extension of 225 west to inside the 610 Loop. I'm not sure it will ever get extended to meet 59 downtown, but that was the intent. And they've surprised us before; I never thought US90 would ever get extended eastward from the I-10/610 interchange.
