nativehoustonion Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 I had a rendering of this building and it is hideous. Hopefully this is not the owner from New Mexico. When I have time I'll look for the post which was over a year ago. Regards, Onion Kitty Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate99 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Now all we need is a rendering of a subway line running down San Felipe to Post Oak through Montrose/Midtown in to a terminal by the Greyhound station. Give the nimbys a heart attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Replace the Greyhound station with a large subway terminal! Or a pile of dirt from digging the subway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 In a tangentially related story, Kirby would make a good site for a light rail line that ultimately heads up Allen Parkway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 In a tangentially related story, Kirby would make a good site for a light rail line that ultimately heads up Allen Parkway. Or joins into a Memorial Drive line (that runs out to the Uptown line) that joins into the green/purple lines in downtown.. Nope, I've definitely never thought about this before..

lockmat Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 This what I found. Did you literally cut that from a hard copy and photo copy it? If you don't mind us asking, where did you find it, even if it is a vague answer. It is very vintage NYesque being so skinny and square. Vaguely resembles the empire state building. Would definitely be different from anything else we have in Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nativehoustonion Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 The company is from Santa Fe Artesian Eclipse LLC and the owner is Yates Petroleum. I have properties off Mimosa so everybody in River Oaks may not know about this yet, but the will now! Send more pictures soon with a better image.

I had drilled down to find out they were in Santa Fe but didn't know about Yates Petroleum. Cool. Did you get that from tax records? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

db650 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 From the website, "Eclipse also will provide the unique benefits of a destination club – with owners’ accommodations available in Eclipse towers planned for cities around the world." From their website, this looks like a pretty modest company with a very bold (dare I say impractical?) vision? I can be proved wrong but what else have they done to this scale so far?

lockmat Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Each residence at Eclipse occupies an entire floor or group of floors, including a four-story penthouse with its own access and citywide views from a 360° deck. You’ll enjoy pool and health club privileges, and our concierge serviced, room service and | 24-hour security will attend to your every need. Eclipse also will provide the unique benefits of a destination club – with owners’ accommodations available in Eclipse towers planned for cities around the world. It sounds like this will be the new Skyhouse. Maybe we'll get one downtown too??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
