Condo's vs. Apartments. We have a huge supply of apartments coming but no condos downtown other than this. It makes sense for this to break ground first. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puzzled since the ground is already broken. Anyone know? http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2016/10/05/developers-break-ground-on-luxury-residential.html Randall Davis Co. and DC Partners have broken ground on Marlowe, a luxury condominium tower in downtown Houston. The two Houston developers held a groundbreaking event on Oct. 4 for the 20-story, 95-unit condo project located at 1311 Polk St., across the street from the House of Blues and a couple of blocks from the Toyota Center and Discovery Green park. Site work on the project started this summer, but the building will be going vertical this fall. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed_Tx Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 well, this is odd. Most of the concrete is already 20' high, but they're still digging down to the pylons for the foundation raft. there's one large raft already (I'm guessing it's where the elevators go), now they're digging out a central area for the foundation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the first upload could be a huge, high res photo, while now my max upload is 950K which is about enough to upload a new avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarathonMan Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 What's the deal with the leasing office? Is it going to stay? I can't tell if it'll be razed eventually and filled in with the tower or if it'll be an awkward-looking neighbor. I hope it's the former. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, that is the reason, I think, that they put the pool on the northside of the building.... no room on the south side for a decent sized pool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmitch94 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Say what you want about the exterior of RD's buildings but I see why people want to live in them. Very elegant and contemporary interior. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtterlyUrban Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 The kitchen backsplash is ugly, cabinets fine and quite a common look in a lot of places, floors interesting, also increasingly common: white Marble countertop. Hope it's well sealed. Porous as heck. and the bedroom.... well, it doesn't come with the bed, mirrors, art, or lamps. So, all that is left is the walls, grey wall-to-wall carpet and an ugly chandelier. So, um.....I am wondering how that is much different from elsewhere? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
