Dakota79 643 Posted March 24, 2017 It doesn't look as tall as i thought it would. Also, they are not using the same materials and color scheme as the rendering. It looks good, but wow - the retail is so close to the street. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Happy Friday it is. It was constructed for the Tennessee Centennial and International Exposition (a.k.a. a giant State Fair) celebrating 100 years of Tennessee in the Union. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobruss 4914 Posted April 3, 2017 From wesleyan to Shepherd and 59 to westheimer is really starting to fill in. I love these kinds of shots. It makes it so clear how dense this area is becoming. In twenty years this area will be like the med center. Theres a synergy that's developing along Kirby and I think its going to continue to spread to greenway plaza. \ 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

'Stonian 355 Posted November 4, 2017 The roof top was lit up in all its glory the last few nights. Wow, eye popping! The lighting was the brightest that I've seen in all of Houston. Definitely a show stopper. I will try to get a pic tonight. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Urbannizer 42221 Posted November 30, 2017 http://www.chron.com/business/real-estate/article/Upper-Kirby-mixed-use-project-inks-first-office-12393420.php Thor Equities has inked its first office leases within Kirby Collection, a large mixed-use project under construction in Upper Kirby. The New York developer signed long-term leases with Hancock Whitney Bank, Novum Energy Trading and Regency Centers totalling 36,775 square feet. The deals are indicative of companies' growing appetite for office space within larger mixed-use projects where workers can not only work, but live, eat and play. Move-ins are expected to begin in the second quarter of 2018. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're always paying for parking. This just makes it explicit. I like it. The rate isn't unreasonable. If you figure construction cost of the garage, plus the dirt underneath it, it probably comes out to around 15% ROI. Contract rates downtown for 24-hr availability run around $200-$350. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
