toxtethogrady 808 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 From the air, there still appear to be plenty of tall buildings. It would be the envy of most downtowns. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nate4l1f3 1123 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 You don't realize how much space that shopping center with Starbucks and Sports Authority takes up. I get so curious to see what Houston will look like in 50+ years, and then I get sad knowing there's a chance I may not live to see it 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Montrose1100 3723 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 It's weird, I see more pedestrians on this side of the Galleria than Post Oak. I think we could see actual density on this side rather than the north because of the actual street grid. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jackie21love 52 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Absolutely. The Dillard's site need big big work.Agreed. Great compliment to the upcoming Saks Fifth Avenue flagship. Something similar or greater is needed on the Neiman Marcus side...a redevelopment of the Dillard's site and lot would be good, incorporating a large hotel. Also, within the Galleria, both Westins could use a gutting and redo. I think the Westins were recently put on the market or sold, but nothings been announced for a while...maybe Westin redos will happen after the ongoing Galleria transformation is done.

Gator Purify 263 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) Not a fan of the exterior design but I guess it fits the area, which is like a DeLorean trip into October 21, 1999. Love the Hyatt Place, though.

monarch 3799 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 ^^^ a bit plain and non luxurious exterior wise.  however, the modernity and clean lines of the interior design, along with hotel amenities, makes up for the "amish" exterior details..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator Purify 263 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 As an aside, if I had to choose between staying at a Hyatt Place or a Hyatt Regency next door, I'm going Hyatt Place all day. I find the former to be one of the most reliable brands in the country. No matter where I am, if I need a clean, modern, and relatively inexpensive place to rest my head, I know I can count on HP. *commercial over* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
