    http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/2015/07/historic-midtown-building-to-be-redeveloped-for-veterans/ "If the Commission grants the variance request, the applicant will be able to save a historical building and put more of the non-profit organization’s funding towards actual service provision instead of unnecessary demolition and reconstruction costs. Note that while the existing structure slightly encroaches in to the right-of-way, the variance would allow the applicant to construct the third story expansion with a zero-foot building setback and no visibility triangle offset."

    http://fuelfix.com/blog/2015/07/28/chevron-to-cut-1500-jobs-including-almost-1000-in-houston/#34195101=0 Chevron to cut 950 jobs in Houston, 1,500 companywide Chevron previously had nixed employee growth plans for Houston and halted plans in late 2013 to build a 50-story downtown office tower. Chevron had previously said the tower was being delayed until at least 2016. “Chevron does not anticipate final approvals for a new office building in Houston in the near term,” Ritchie added. “We remain committed to the new building, however we continue to exercise strong capital discipline when assessing and prioritizing investments.

    https://www.bisnow.com/houston/news/deal-sheet/this-weeks-houston-deal-sheet-47690 CBRE’s Aron Will and Austin Sacco secured $50M in construction financing for The Village of River Oaks, a 195-unit, Class-A senior housing community. The floating rate loan through a regional bank includes a six-year term with two years of interest-only and an all-in interest rate of 2.18%. The community is being built by Bridgewood Property Co and Harrison Real Estate Capital and is the first senior housing project built in River Oaks. Aron says it was a challenging deal but will be one of the highest-quality senior housing assets in the state.

    Right now, 5 residential floors can be done with wood as long as there are metal i-beams throughout the structure providing core support. Typically, 6 residential floors or more require steel frames.
