I didn't realize the hotel and convention center would be so tall. This looks amazing.

Electric Scooters Sharing

I haven't seen them in practice yet... but curious how are they different from bikes? -
South Main Building: Multifamily At 7557 South Main St.
brian0123 replied to OkieEric's topic in Texas Medical Center
Yep, the entire city would have to be under 20 ft of water before a resident in that building is flooded. At that point, we'd have bigger problems than some flooded cars in their garage.- 96 replies

Just my opinion, but I'd think the area in between will need to take off first. Might be 10 - 15 years outside the loop given how long I saw midtown take to get a true synergy going. The other issue is that you have 610 cutting off walkable/biking access... so it's not as convenient as something along south main within 610.

I couldn't agree more. TMC3 is going to reshape the city. Too many new, high paying jobs, attracting people from typically very urban places (Boston, etc.) mean there will be massive interest in living close to work in the south Houston area.

Drewery Place: Multifamily High-Rise At 2850 Fannin St.
brian0123 replied to Urbannizer's topic in Midtown
They'd be dumb to not take advantage of the added activity at street level. Hopefully they don't wall themselves off with parking at ground level.- 1,569 replies

I like HEB, but this is just plain stupid considering proximity to the other location (unless they plan to sell the Buffalo Speedway one). I'm sick of having to drive that far already and need them to open a damn HEB for the med center.

South Main Building: Multifamily At 7557 South Main St.
brian0123 replied to OkieEric's topic in Texas Medical Center
I don't think I've been this excited about a building in some time. It could have some incredible views from it and really change the landscape of how the TMC skyline moves south. Really hoping it's not some bland box.- 96 replies

Adventure Pointe Amusement Park On Interstate 45

Kind of disappointed. Those photos look like carnival rides off 45 that would be setup in a random parking lot.- 71 replies

I agree about those parts. I was defining TMC as the main hospital system areas. I'm down Southwest of TMC and agree even s main has tremendous potential.

Residential on the outskirts makes tons sense, but not on the interior. Our response times could be negatively impacted by throwing other types of visitors/traffic in the mix. Also, the TMC is going to start getting taller (hence this project added 19 floors on top of an existing 6).

Lower Westheimer Road Construction
brian0123 replied to trymahjong's topic in Traffic and Transportation
They must have found my old posts on here from 2013 . I've been arguing for this design for a long time and am glad to see it coming -

Houston needs this. At work (I'm an IT Architect at a big hospital in the TMC) we're starting machine learning to analyze data of our patients and get into predictive models to better treat them. Data science in healthcare alone has the potential to change the world and Houston should be at the forefront. It wouldn't surprise me if we get to a point where (based on your vitals and data alone) we can predict when you're in danger of a medical emergency occurring so that we can preemptively treat you (or improve staff response times). Turner + any other Houston should rally around this for the UT land location given its proximity to the TMC and potential benefits to our economy.

The grills allow some airflow across the battery container (at least on my Leaf it does). They also have the AC radiator.

The Hamilton Apartments At 1800 St. Joseph Pkwy.
brian0123 replied to MarathonMan's topic in Downtown
I'd imagine they probably didn't intend to lease that side and assumed someone eventually may rent a unit and they'll get some extra cash. If anything they probably just assumed those units are sound buffers for the rest of the building (which is probably nicer than this unit).- 282 replies

Nice to see this completed. They were planning it years back when I lived nearby. The one thing that still hasn't happened that they talked about then was a 10 story structure across the street. Apparently they were trying to get a Barnes and Nobles type anchor signed on before moving forward. Would love to know if that's still in the works.

I like WOMH, but the impact on the surrounding neighborhood is wrong and a double standard. I was at Raven Tower watching a band (it's covered but outside) and while looking to the left I saw an apartment with a mom inside her living room... probably less than 100ft away. If this development were a biker bar/rap club/you name it in a better-off neighborhood, you'd have this place shutdown in a matter of weeks. WOMH can coexist... but they'd have to turn the music down some and possibly stagger some events.

I hope they keep the clock. It could be really unique if they fixed it up.

I hate the 2035 plan grading of the hill and "VIP Master Suites". Totally kills the whole relaxing vibe of the park and looks too structured, stark, and something you'd expect in suburbia. Sitting on the lawn with "VIPs" hovering over you would feel strange. It's almost as if the board is now a bunch of old farts that decided that "hmph, those kids rolling around the hill and having fun distract from the entertainment, so let's put an end to that!"
