bobruss 4986 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Only 1 unit is still available: http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2015/04/28/exclusive-two-galleria-area-condo-towers-under.html That should be promising news for other potential developers like Hanover, Davis and Pelican to move forward with their proposed projects and perhaps some others who have yet committed. There is a large pent-up demand from people who would prefer to live in a quality high rise. Think of all of the people who have moved here recently, wishing to live in high rise projects, with very few options. That will be possible now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Houston19514 4623 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Is there any smaller 45-100 unit high rise that isn't selling out? That seems to be the sweet spot or market void or whatever you call it. It seems like the large projects do worse. What large projects are you referring to? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HoustonIsHome 1626 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Nice vid. Is uptown the biggest office park in the US? Can't think of any bigger. Tysons Corner may come close, but the residential in uptown seems bigger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toxtethogrady 808 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 It's not really an office "park" (and neither is Tyson's). It's multiple properties owned by separate developers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Montrose1100 3718 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I think it would be cool if a powerful laser/spotlight shot out the top on special occasions like the twin towers.Seeing how most of his projects look like bad Tim Burton props, a Batman signal would be more appropriate. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobruss 4986 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Kitschy would be my choice of descriptions for Mr Davis' developments. Hopefully he'll work out all the unnecessary frill and pull off two great buildings, Arabella, one on the east side of 610, and the Marlowe downtown. If not they'll stick out like sore thumbs. He never fails to mess it up somehow. Edited July 21, 2015 by bobruss 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
