H-Town Man Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 7 hours ago, Ross said: I would suspect that Centerpoint has sued HCAD over this property, and received a court order setting the value where it is. The Tax Code makes it pretty easy for a business to get the property values reduced by significant amounts. The property seems to have a land value that's 20% of nearby blocks. Yes, many companies routinely protest every year no matter what. But no worries. Residential homeowners are here to take up the slack. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arche_757 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 ^indeed we are! Amazing just how much my home had increased in value these last five years. That would be great if we wanted to sell, but we want to stay so the increases aren’t great 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that would look better? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityliving Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I sure wouldn’t want to stay at that Embassy Suites hotel where the construction is going on, that noise of the pile driver is pretty loud, I wonder if that hotel is loosing business because of the construction. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about you, but when I'm lounging next to swimming pool I love listening to the background noise of jackhammers, boring machines, and the rumblings of cement trucks. *sarcasm* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatguysly Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Some people are going to book the hotel online and just seeing the photos they provide and the location. They will have no clue about the construction. So they will likely still get business but then have guests complain and ask for a comped night or something. I once stayed at the Double Tree near downtown Dallas over Thanksgiving. I was thinking I got a great deal then learned hundreds of Kuwaiti college students were staying there while colleges were closed over the holidays. It was like being in South Padre for spring break. So much partying and noise. I got a free night out of it because it was so hard to sleep. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at some of the renderings shown before you can see the building across the street from the hotel and One Park Place. Whether those are the final product who knows. 6 hours ago, enriquewx91 said: Does the Toyota Center own the parking lots there on the left?

A Taiwan Oil company owns the block directly west of Toyota Canter. By your desription it appears as if Skansa owns all of block 251 and 3/4th of block 276. This is good news. Skansa seems to get things done. Hopefully it will be arrevderci to those two surface lots in the not too distant future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) Supposedly Skanska owns the green colored lots, but I don't think they own the lot next to the Marlowe. HCAD shows Golconda owns it. Edited September 11, 2021 by hindesky 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
