    Very sleek looking glass.

    We just need a few more hotels/ residential highrises along this stretch of the TMC along with the ~$1.5 billion in hospital expansion currently going on.

    Nice addition.
  4. kdog08
    More class A space?

    We already have a lot of apartments under construction downtown, I wouldn't mind if this way waited a year or two. TMC is undergoing another boom which has been coinciding with the oil slump (cheaper construction costs) which will be creating quite a few centrally located jobs. However, we got a lot of units coming along for 2015 that will probably catch up to the amount of high paying jobs needed support inner loop apartments. I see a bright future, but multifamily will probably have a brief pause in my amateur opinion.

    Hopefully next cycle as Midtown and Montrose become too expensive.

    Surprised the apartment complex on the right hasn't created a phase 2.

    Rice is a private research university, I'd prefer they expanded on that. They certainly have the land and a large endowment to add a few thousand more students while maintaining they elite level of education. Even as big and impactful as the TMC is, it is vastly underused in collaboration.

    Not compared to cities like Boston, Seattle, Bay Area, LA, and NYC. We eventually need a large public school in this city to serve a rapidly growing city/state/country/global population.

    We as a city/metro need to do more to aid our higher education as that's the real big thing we lack in. Houston should really strive to make UH the third Texas flagship university (quite frankly we need a major university in each region) as it could really change the landscape of Houston.

    A permanent "fair" with 1 big steel roller coaster, 1 big wooden roller coaster, and then multiple rides for the less adventurous along with food and games. We could call it AstroWorld and put a lot of parking garage with like 600 apartment units/little bit of retail mixed in close to the rail.

    The hotels north of Main St in this pic and the land they occupy is a good place to densify and add some mixed to the TMC.

    Really like it!

    Very nice looking building, would love to see more look this.
  15. kdog08
    Lots of unused space on top of roofs.
  16. kdog08
    Some good density in this area corner of Uptown. Hopefully the land by the last remaining 24 hour fitness in uptown will get something.
  17. kdog08
    It will certainly help the parking situation downtown and make it easier for suburbanites to play downtown.

    It will take more than just better "pedestrian: or "urban" infrastructure. Obviously downtown needs a more permanent residential base, which hopefully will happen over time, as who knows what will happen to O&G prices or if central living continues to incrementally gain ground on the rest of Houston. I think right after Superbowl is a good point in time to step back and look at where we are at. I think Houston can be a pretty underrated place for visitors attending a convention downtown, a major sports event (NCAA, college bowl game, All Star game, Superbowl, etc), or weekend vacationers. There's quite a bit of stuff to do that's accessible by rail or a 6 mile uber trip (Galleria). We need to do more to make Houston an enticing place to hold those mentioned events and an attractive weekend getaway. I believe that residential population is the ultimate solution to a better downtown, but it does have quite a bit of competition from midtown and to the west.

    TMC building boom while oil prices are low.
  20. kdog08
    Hopefully medical tourism could catch on, could fit a few more hotels along this stretch. More mixed use in TMC would be welcome.
  21. kdog08
    Is it not doing well in terms of leasing?
  22. kdog08
    Niceeee.
  23. kdog08
    What is this?
  24. kdog08
    I think we need to get rid of golf courses inside the loop at Memorial and Hermann Park, and also turn Gus Wortham into an actual park. They just take up so much space and I would personally prefer to see more soccer and baseball fields with more basketball and tennis courts. I think Hermann Park would become very active if they converted the golf course into things I mentioned in the previous sentence.

    Good news, seriously, way too much office space coming online in the next year(s).
