  1. My pics were larger than 1 MB but thanks TexasVines I figured it out I believe. Here are some pics of the aloft hotel: Here are some pics of Sage St. west of the Galleria: St. George's Place on Hidalgo St.: New apartment complexes along San Felipe at Fountainview and Winrock: Random shots:
  2. I took some pictures of the hotel plus some of the area west of the galleria but I am not sure how to upload them. I have a flickr account if that helps.
  3. Well I took pictures of the current state of the aloft hotel and it looks like 4 or 5 stories of hotel on top of 4 stories of parking currently. It will definitely be much taller than the rendering on the sign in post 26. I also took some pictures of the surrounding area west and sw of the Galleria. It has changed much over the past few years. Hopefully when I get back to San Marcos I can put them on my comp and upload them.
  4. I did mean Yorktown. Thanks for finding the thread for it.
  5. I couldn't find a thread about this, which is pretty surprising considering this building is already at least 10 stores tall and was rather large. Unfortunately, I couldn't see what the building was called but it said "Mixed Use". I was driving west down Westheimer and noticed it. It was before York St. Maybe someone can shed some more light on this. I will be back in the area after Christmas and I'll bring my camera.
  6. Is there a large Islamic community in this part of Houston? Just curious to why this location was chosen.
  7. The original rendering (from page 1 near the bottom) looks pretty good for an Embassy Suites. Hopefully we get something along the lines of that rendering, I especially like how the roof isn't flat and it isn't completely a box.
  8. Man I thought Discovery Green view would be a lot more impressive. I like the view but Discovery Green still looks "bare". I bet 5 years will be enough time for those younger trees to start making a noticeable difference. As always, GRB makes its presence felt. I would definitely want the city side view.
  9. Glad to hear another person share my dislike of palm trees in Houston. They should have went with some oaks trees, Houston style.
  10. Where is the closest grocery store in that area? I'm considering moving into an area along the light rail as I might be working at the TMC and was just trying to get an idea of what day-to-day life might be living in the downtown area. Thanks.
  11. I think of Houston as Southern because of its geography and palm trees aren't generally found in the South. Also, Galveston doesn't look too tropical and palm trees only look good there because it's the beach. That's my opinion at least.
  12. It is north of Westchase and Northeast of the Energy Corridor. I believe it is a few miles North of I10 and BW8. There are a lot of office buildings being built/have been built along NW portion along BW8, also W portion of BW8.
