I really prefer a couple of other properties in Downtown and in W. University but there are no vacancies until at least October. Thus my search has brought me to Alta Lofts. Can anyone share any experiences with this property? The units look nice. And they seem to be within walking distance of Metro- 10 replies

A popular topic for this area of town is the Plaza Hotel located on Montrose close to 59. The issue remains, what should or could be done with this property. Obviously, it would make some bad ass lofts. The last I heard was that a developer was holding out to recover the amount of money he invested in the 80's. From what I understand this is several million dollars. Anyone have any new information on the grand ole Plaza Hotel?- 50 replies

Other than the photos in the Houston Mod catalog profiling the architect, and the images in Ephemeral City, do any of you have or know of any images of the Cullinan House by Hugo V. Neuhaus, Jr.? I have always been interested in that home, one of the biggest losses in terms of mod demolition for Houston, I feel.

The Parador is one of the last remaining examples of the Mediterranean Byzantine style so popular in the 1920's. Built in 1928. I often wondered what this place was like inside. Its great! You really go back in time to the days of ballroom music and dancing. If ever around Almeda and Binz check this place out. It can accomodate a big crowd. This place has class, in every sense of the word. http://www.paradorhouston.com/history.html http://www.brides.com/upload/images/p/a/paradorhouston@aol.com/00_main/parador_320_primary.jpg- 10 replies

Hi, Im new to this forum and thought that if anyone knew it would be here. A friend of mine saw an article in the chronicle this saturday about a nice project in the museum district called "Tuscan 1 Townhomes". He said it sounded like my taste and I was eager to get more information or contact information for them. Does anyone know of this development that can help? I'm looking for something modern and unique in the museum district area or montrose. Thanks! Scott- 8 replies

Houston's art museums have important works on display, but the buildings themselves are significant sculptural statements by modernist architects. BY SCOTT CANTRELL The Dallas Morning News http://www.myrtlebeachonline.com/mld/myrtl...el/11794405.htm -
Hi all, We are new to Houston and this country as well. We are first time home buyers planning to buy a townhome soon. We love the Hermann Park area and like these set of townhomes called "Mews by Park" . They are on EWING street, one street south of Binz and about a couple of blocks from Hermann Park. They are also a couple of Blocks from Almeda. They were built in 2000 and have already appreciated around 25%-30% in value. Anyone has any any experience there? They are right next to a Houston Public Housing Apartment Complex. Our realtor has advised that this might affect the resale value of the townhome (we plan to sell in about 5 years). Do you think this is true? Otherwise the location is great (in my view). Also what other areas you suggest for buying a townhome (inside the loop). We like quiet residential type areas that are child friendly (we are expecting one soon!). Budget is $250k-$275k. Thanks for your help. -
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Houston recently had cause to feel flattered. Renzo Piano's design for a $258 million addition to the Art Institute of Chicago bears a striking resemblance to his Cy Twombly Pavilion here. Piano told the New York Times that his plans for the famed Chicago art museum include a suspended roof that he likens to a "flying carpet." The design will allow natural light into the third floor to showcase the museum's modern-art collection. Link to article and illustrations
