  1. I really enjoy these buildings. They're different, and no, that's not a bad thing.
  2. The use of epsilon and the teist on the W logo makes this look like an architecture student's project. Possibly a rendering of a "nice to have", but unlikely to be built project.
  3. Last I had heard, Alamo had decided to set up shop in regent square
  4. I have no info either way, but my guess would be they are waiting for leases to expire?
  5. It's gotten to a point where that place should be a historic landmark. If Houston were ever on TV it'd be right up there with Randy's Donuts in LA.
  6. I wouldn't get too ahead of yourself. The web site also lists plans for 2101 Milam. I've seen the same concept drawing posted outside that building for about 5 years now.
  7. Anyone know what is going in on the corner closest to the spur?
  8. Big signs out front for a pizza place called Piola. Looks like they are global: http://www.piola.it/mondo3.php?menu_number=3〈=en&countries_id=5
  9. I went about a month ago. The food is decent. But it didn't strike me as anything better than what you'd find in a suburban Chinese restaurant.
  10. Drove by last night. There's a city issued work permit on the door, but it doesn't look like anything has been done to the exterior or the balcony. Not sure if progress has been made on the interior.
  11. just saw several workers at a side entrance on the ground level. And by workers I means couple of dudes in hard hats.
  12. according to this story, it isn't happening... http://blogs.houstonpress.com/hairballs/2010/01/sheraton_lincoln_plaza_downtow_1.php
  13. Just saw a tweet...This is going to be open today for brunch.
  14. To remind us how fortunate we are that it wasn't chosen as the final design?
  15. Aren't most of the blue lights actually energy saving LED lights?
  16. Just got back from La Carafe. According to them, they are working with architects to find ways around the alley issue. Such a shame.
  17. This is going to be a multi-tenant building, so there is a good possibility it will be
  18. Looks like work is being done to repair the restaurant that sits atop the Hyatt downtown. Anyone know if it is actually going to reopen?
  19. Per the attached article a new grocery store/cafe is opening downtown. Here's hoping they have a good business model. I'd hate to see it turn out like that grocery store that was at the bottom of Post Midtown. http://blogs.chron.com/primeproperty/2009/10/downtown_getting_grocer_1.html
  20. Looking at the newer Savoy it's amazing to me the manner in which these buildings were abandoned. Electronic equipment, paperwork, etc, all left behind. It's as if they thought they'd be coming back or worse yet, they were trying to make a getaway.
  21. I just saw a sign saying that an Aveda store was moving into one of the smaller spaces.
