    FWIW, I think the renderings look good, but in application the building is not coming out well. In person, the tubes look like cheap plastic, and I'm not sure that is going to change when it is completed (in fact, over time I suspect they will look dingy and even cheaper). Just my opinion, and hopefully it changes when everything is complete.

    Several big pieces of the tower crane were being delivered this morning near Sid Richardson.

    Nothing like opening a thread to see a pissing match between local schools (again).

    Pouring the new roads/driveway for the performing arts center this morning

    At least in my building, the 51st floor is where the elevator bank for the higher floors is, so I could certainly see increased costs related to elevators (among others). Don't know if that is universal though.

    It will be fun to through footballs between the pool at the existing apartments and the pool at the new office/condo.

    Agreed. At 1100 Louisiana, they are sprucing up the lobby and adding a gym, secure bike area, and dry cleaner, all in the former Massa's space across the street for all the tenants to use for free (not the dry cleaning obviously). I just wish they had this 15 years ago!

    I think white will get boring, but I agree totally flashy is not needed. Perhaps keep all the tubes the same color, but have them change color once an hour (e.g, white from 9:00 to 10:00, blue from 10:00 to 11:00, green from 11:00 to 12:00, and so on).

    I have a hard time believing this got funding. Something like this could work in the middle of downtown or midtown, but this location is an island without any foot traffic. This will be less successful than Greenstreet.

    I think this is a ridiculous location and can't imagine it gets built. That said, some other nice hotels in the area aren't in exactly prime locations either--e.g., Houstonian, St. Regis, Omni. Granted these hotels are very different than a Hard Rock hotel.

    I went there about 10 years ago for physical therapy. Memorial Sports Clinic (formerly the Roger Clemens Sports Clinic) directed me there, so some arm of Memorial may have been leasing it.

    I think the location is great for the WF. They will get local folks of course, but I imagine they will get loads of people going home from work down Smith on the way to the spur.

    Another 12 years and the dream of Regent Square will be realized (or at least a significantly reduced dream).

    3333 Allen Parkway (The Royalton) was originally rental units, and then switched to condos after about five years.

    The deed restriction fight could be interesting. Doesn't seem they've been enforced since the current use of the site is not single-family use. I wonder if they are still enforceable.
