  1. I would assume that the success of the Astoria would play a huge role in that, the "new highrise" he reference in my email. Twice now he avoids saying "no". McDonald's back then was even willing to sell the property. It would be a waste since you know that have the architectural plans ready to go.
  2. Sent a note last week based on this comment from Nancy's article on the cancellation of the Titan where he stated the following back in late 2008. I did get a message from Randall Davis regarding the Titan when I hit up the old page for an info update considering it was left open ended and we were surprised with a similar project of significance last week just across the street.
  3. The Cosmo was a lot less detailed and had cleaner line. I dunno, I am indifferent to the statues he uses.
  4. I listed the most recent two that I can think of in Houston that were cancelled back to back. Everything else is pre-2008 was built.
  5. You were really in the mood just to sneak in a Golden Girls reference. Hey, the subject is it should be change from 23 stories to 24 stories. . .#justsaying
  6. Sounds like there is a demand, considering how close it was just 3 years ago that the Titan was cancelled. He always said that if things picked up, he would like to get that back on the schedule again and bring back the TItan. The condo on Skylark could still co-exist. It's like a second construction boom we had from the early 2000's. So potentially, we could have 5 cranes in the Uptown area at once.
  7. I like it too, it's like "The Titan" knocked up "The Cosmopolitan" before he croaked and this is her baby girl. Titan was 25 stories. Cosmo is 21 stories. so Astoria will be 24 stories.
  8. That land is smack in the middle of some existing proposals from BLVD place too. I guess I take the rendering too seriously.
  9. Great rendering, but will this actually happen. I am having a deja vu moment and it smell like The Titan.
  10. Ah, Randall Davis, can we trust him. . . The Titan...fail...Sonoma...fail. Now he expects us to believe him that Astoria will go forth. I vote no, only because Randall Davis name is attached to this. Commence with your posting of a Debbie Downer photo.
  11. It actually grew, from the thread history it went from 14 stories, to 19, and finally now to 20. Where did you get that from?
  12. Considering that made the effort to create a parking garage, they should have taken advantage of the Post Oak side and pulled the stores up to the street with a common sidewalk. I thought they have variances they could get for this.
  13. .I would blame it on SOPA and PIPA Niche, and yes, you can start a new thread, as I am sure your response, and mine will get deleted. Definitely off topic For those that don't know exactly what you are referring too, can you expand. Are you talking about transportation between galleria and downtown?
  14. And then it will go up again by 2013. They were $5 not to long ago, maybe 2008. Oh well.
  15. How's this for closure on an old thread. Old news, but for the sake of ending it, the half build WAMU was completed and turned into a People's Trust Credit Union.
  16. Last night, the parking at the Galleria location is already getting bad again after the New Year Resolution minions died off. I had to park over down by Aaron Brothers...it was 7:00 p.m. and it was that full, which is typically when the after work crowd leaves. I am guessing, some people got a head start and changed their routine by avoiding Post Oak. Again, their last day is this Friday. I hope they build another gym in the area, or else it will be a long wait for machines.
  17. I noticed they only mentioned covering Rockets and Astros games when the move into the HP...surprised they left out Dynamos.
  18. I agree with Texasota, and very happy that the more senior/veteran members are not running Nick_G off. He remind me of me back in the day. . . You will figure out that people on here are very polarizing about their neighborhoods and debates can get colorful. On topic. As long as the HP can manage to keep it's anchor stores, and hang in there until those latest and greatest convention hotel come to fruition and the pair of rail lines get complete within the next two years, it will get better. The completion of the Dynamo Stadium will have minimal effect. This is about as bad as it will get. HP can only go up from here.
  19. Considering it will have access the light rail, I am surprised they are going for the strip mall look. I agree with Pleak, very underwhelming.
  20. Nice find DrLan. That is an amazingly small plot of land. But they did good if that what they plan to build. Efficient.
  21. Happy anniversary/birthday HAIF.
  22. Nancy on the move. http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/2012/01/goodbye-post-oak-health-club-hello-office-tower/
