    Too good to be true.

    Well that was a pleasant exchange.

    The hole has been filled! Those back windows are gonna have a great view!

    Hasn't it been understood since day 1 that they would have to use eminent domain for some portions of folks weren't willing to sell? Not sure why this is being discussed.

    One can only hope.

    Really a nice building. Only thing I can take away from it is how far back it is from the street, making it suburban in nature. But guess I can't expect too much with it being on a feeder road.

    Damn, that looks pretty sweet. Looks like something you'd see in DC.

    Soo much work to be done around Toyota Center but it's moving in the right direction for sure.

    That Hilton Americas has really aged well, beautiful building.

    Now THAT is what a development should look like.

    I actually kind of agree, especially when viewed at ground level. I get why it's so prominently featured as there is a nice parkland and bayou running in the foreground, but the buildings are really spaced out and it just doesn't look dense.

    They're persistent, gotta give 'em that.

    Lol, that "NEADO" has to be a joke.

    I mean I'd live there.

    Turner should focus on getting the damn University line built, TxDOT does the freeways and they never seem to have any shortage of money.

    Heh, yea my fantasy system would likely cost like $25-30 billion, but it'd get amazing ridership. Neither here nor there though.

    I've always thought a heavy rail subway under Westheimer from like Beltway 8 all the way into downtown would get great ridership.

    610 from 290 to 59 is absolute and total suckage, c'mon man.

    Lol, last couple of pages are hilarious. But yea, people have a right to complain whenever the final product is 100% worse than the rendering.

    Thanks, apologies for the laziness should have read the report before commenting. It looks like this was an internal analysis done by TCR and they themselves made the decision that it would be too costly and a negative return on their investment if they came all the way downtown, which is what most of us thought would happen in the first place. Like I said above, looks like an internal analysis/decision and not the feds not allowing it. If they had tons of money to spare, they'd do it.

    That's all speculation, I doubt any of that would be paid for by TCR. Maybe another developer might come in and do that, I hope so. What's your source on this? I read that they studied it and basically determined it was too expensive.

    I feel like the problem that most people have with the NW mall site is not necessarily that it isn't in downtown, but that it isn't anywhere really. It's in a very undesirable area. Who likes that area? Edit: to clarify, if the station was in uptown or something people wouldn't whine about it not being downtown.. because at least the station is in a destination area. No one is taking HSR to Houston to get to NW mall. At least some people's final destination would have been downtown, or uptown, or wherever. Literally 0% of people taking HSR are wanting to get to NW mall.

    I laughed at "anchored by Northwest Mall." Yeah, that's a signature property right there. Lol.
  24. mfastx
    Man if Houston could finally do something with that eyesore that'd be incredible.
  25. mfastx
    Hey, at least there's something there and not a parking lot.
