Luminare Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 The whole Kingwood Park© development thing on the East side of 59 seems to be its own entity that would be competing against this. Why they could not join forces and have one really ambitious idea that would have a better chance at actually being a big assed development reality is anyone's guess. Most developers (of any kind) are utterly convinced of their ideas' brilliance. Sadly its not just a developer problem, but an industry problem as well :/ Architects, real estate firms, and developers are all equally guilty of this mentality.

jmitch94 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Simple answer is where can they make the most money with the least amount of risk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate99 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Simple answer is where can they make the most money with the least amount of risk. Not sure about the risk part, but that rubber doesn't really meet the road until financing is secured. The "join forces" in my head was more about having a pitch to the financiers that wasn't being repeated by the guy who also wants a billion dollars to do the same thing across the highway who they are talking to next week.

That makes no sense at all and doesn't apply here and you know it. Do you have any idea of what I'm trying to say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate99 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I admired the idea/ambition of this one, but it always seemed like a hell of a long shot. That area just west of 59, but north of the river and outside of the Kingwood annexed Oakhurst area was, shall we say, eclectic, but not in the "Keep Austin Weird" kind of way. It remained much as it was prior to Kingwood ever being invented, that is, on the rural outskirts of an urban area inhabited by people that found the City of Humble too confiningly cosmopolitan for their tastes and hobbies. Maybe one of these will pop up in the area on the next go-round, but I'll hopefully be elsewhere personally, no longer commuting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Yeah, this always seemed like a questionable site for this type of development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
