Twinsanity02 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I think it's really odd that this is not being reported on publicly. I've sent information about this to Nancy Sarnoff, Swamplot, if I remember correctly HBJ and even mentioned it to Coy Davidson on twitter. He normally replies to me but did not this time. I would at least expect swamplot to report on it. Is it possible the company won't talk to them about it? I would think the FFA records would be enough to corroborate it and the location and design would bring tons of traffic. Does that not seem strange to anyone else?It's the Christmas season and there is a great deal going on. What are you referring to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they don't think it's far enough along to report. Tall, ugly building in River Oaks? The web clicks could be really high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if this was built in the 70's and 80's when real hardcore post-modernism was in vogue, but this looks really dated. Its almost a parody of post-modernism. Everything from the "plunger" capitals and ornament (because we do whatever we want!), to the out of scale elements...on everything (because everything is relative!), and to the garish color scheme (because its all up to interpretation! Its whatever I will it to be!). Hard Pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangledwoods Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 This "developer" has experience in desert style hotels, nothing taller than 2-3 stories. My guess is this was a EB-5 money play. It seriously looks like a money laundering or a Ponzi scheme. There are 1,000 more economically viable developments in the area that any real investor would rather put money in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainJilliams Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Good lord, I don't care that it's a 58 story development, I hope this never gets built if it looks like the renderings above. Incredibly hideous. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Money Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 This one has me very confused. HCAD verifies that “Artesian Eclipse” has owned the land at 2120 since at least Sept 2015. I can’t access any records before then. The same entity also owns 2202 Welch, a townhome about 2 lots west of the larger property. 2200 Welch (between those properties) is owned by an unrelated entity, as far as I can tell. My guess would be IF they ever broke ground here, they would use the townhome lot as a construction or sales office. But I have tried contacting the people listed on their website before, and I haven’t been able to get any info. So who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not aware of a large project failing in the Medical Center like happens all the time in the Energy Corridor because a commodity price dips below $40 and a see-through or scaled back building sits vacant or never gets built at all, this looks like a solid investment to me and I imagine investors would feel pretty good looking at the map view true but hopefully they will change the design 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdueenginerd Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I halfway think those renderings are a placeholder joke. --- is there any chance this was like a joke they modeled and then just put it in as a placeholder while they worked on the real thing? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arche_757 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) Doesn’t appear scaled correctly for a 58 floor tower. Look at the base. That said, if this IS the design: garbage. Edited April 26, 2019 by arche_757 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, if this IS the design: garbage. Thats hardline postmodernism. Scale is arbitrary in this style and school of thought. Nothing here is proportionally correct, or scaled correct, but that is the point. Remember, everything is relative, and who are you to say what is the "proper scale" of anything. This isn't me defending or promoting by the way, but merely stating why it looks the way it looks. Everything here is purposefully subjective.
