Sunstar Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Glad to see something go in here. This is a pretty desolate part of downtown with not much to work with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard at one time a lot of the lots in that south east side was own by a foreign company. Is that true/still true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that true/still true? Yes, Taiwan's national oil company owns like 6 of the city blocks around the area. I once made a map of it, but am too lazy to dig it up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Golconda Venture. Per HCAD, I find 13 parcels they still own totaling about 7 1/2 blocks, all in the southeast part of Downtown, plus one (1/2 block) in the north end of Midtown. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its set to be part of the Discovery West development. One of the two remaining towers will be built there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 So this is getting a tower crane after all. Saw this IG post from Skyhookops which is a rent-an-operator company that supplies companies that don't have their own operators. https://www.skyhookops.com 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfastx Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Man that area south of TC desperately needs some development, what a deadzone. Hopefully this is the start of something. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they are paying attention to the development around these properties it if they are content with the income from parking fees. If I win the lottery I am building a huge garage there and charge only enough to cover taxes and maintenance. Maybe put a dent in these land hogs profits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
