    Sorry for no updates. Lots of life stuff. Also I moved, so no more top-down updates on Astoria / 4 Oaks. That said, lots of good stuff breaking the tree line.

    Given the recent report that the Houston-Dallas HSR could terminate in the Galleria / Uptown Park area rather than Downtown... is there a chance this site becomes the station (link to article below)? A College Station stop was also referenced which would point to a 290 route into town. I can't find the article, but my recollection is that 20-40% of JR profits are from associated real-estate development at their stations (hotels, retail, etc...). A large site with additional development potential would seem reasonable If we assume they bring a similar model to the US. [EDIT: see 2013 financial report... ~25% operating profit comes from non-transportation though their subsidiary structure is complicated so that may not be exactly right ... https://www.jreast.co.jp/e/investor/ar/2013/pdf/ar_2013_all.pdf] http://blog.chron.com/thehighwayman/2014/08/state-transportation-official-says-houston-dallas-rail-a-certainty/

    Interesting sign up for the lot directly north of the SkyHouse (parcel 'D'). Something to the effect of "Randall Davis... ground lease available".

    Interesting. It seems like a lot more than 51 acres... but maybe that's just the feeling of an empty parking lot.

    Yeah... this is screaming skyward... 9th floor now I think.

    That plan looks like total ass. Also, I can't believe they have built the world's largest sign on top of the thing too. Pretty disappointing considering it will be next to the transit village in 3 years.

    Thanks for linking TowerSpotter.

    While the whole comment is amazing, I really like "The entrance to this building wants to be here!". Amazing.

    Brilliant.

    Set-back is on the south side. As is the 7th floor pool.

    Weekday mornings. #Amazing

    If you haven't been able to witness the morning insanity at that McDonalds, I would consider a trip over. From 7-9am there are two (repeat, TWO) off-duty cops directing traffic through the drive-through lines, which stretch (side by side) all the way to the street. If you want "quintessentially Houston", this gets my vote. As an aside, since I live across the street... They have improved the cluster-f**k of left-turns there. So while it's completely insane, I appreciate their presence.

    The green tower would have definitely given it an iconic status. Maybe the future highrise will have some appeal.

    Looks like the RFQ is being put together for the next piece from 59-NE to I-10 E (and also including the goofy connection from 99 to 146). Link

    Eh? Pretty sure it goes out on Richmond through here before cutting south west of Greenway plaza... or am I lost?
