Popular Post H-Town Man Posted October 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2021 Update from a Costar interview with Mark Cover, CEO of Hines Southwest Region: "At this point, Texas Tower will reach its TCO [temporary certificate of occupancy], its official completion, I guess, in another 60 days, and maybe a little bit sooner," Cover said. "We’re around 50% leased." As for the remaining available space at Texas Tower, Cover said prospects are interested in the high-rise for a variety of reasons. "We’ve got some great conversations going on with some companies who are looking to either make a significant upgrade in their systems and in their offering to their employees, or coming into the market who haven’t been there before, or in one case coming into the country and looking for an image that goes with that building," he said. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delilah's is the second Texas Tower restaurant from Chicago restaurant group What If Syndicate (Etta being the other as shared in a previous post in the thread). No clue what the menu will center on at Delilah's yet. It's a new concept. Another is under construction in Chicago. I'm sure both will have beautiful interiors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't see any indication that it's the same company. The Delilah's I linked has been operating since 1993.

But may since one is a bar and the other a restaurant, maybe not? I'm not well-versed on trademark infringement, so I really don't know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate99 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 There seem to be Delilah's in Philadelphia, Las Vegas, West Hollywood and elsewhere. You pick a person's name for a restaurant/bar, I think you pretty much give up on trademarking. If you drop the "h" at the end, you've got places in Zumbro Falls, Minnesota and Columbia, Missouri too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burger King lost a trademark suit against a small retailer and is known as Hungry Jack's there.
