    "Nine new high-rise office buildings, containing 6 million SF have been completed since 2008 and construction is under way on Skanska’s 750,000 square foot building and construction recently commenced for a new 1 million-SF building the former Houston Chronicle site." Somebody help me out here: 1) Hess 2) BG Group Place 3) Hillcorp 4) 609 Main 5) ? 6) ? 7) ? 8) ? 9) ?

    Giant Blank Wall O'Concrete building also tried to add to the two non blank sides by putting up metal trellises for vines, then never planted vines. It will always amaze me that somebody in our planning department saw the blank walls and said, "Yep, looks great!"

    270.2m would be 886 feet

    Chase is catty-corner to Calpine Center. They are across the street from each other.

    That rendering from Minute Maid is pretty awesome.
  6. kbates2
    It looks like you can see their residential in the skyline rendering too. It’s taller than MST so it isn’t Aris.

    Burgers, Tacos, and Pizza. Seems like we get a new one of the above every few months in this part of DT. I do love them all but damn.

    Bayou Lofts looks different

    Rest assured it will be a solid addition. Bobby has yet to whiff on an establishment.

    Doesn't seem like a very large number for a project this size, I assume the $31m is just a 'phase 1'?

    Yep, the plaza has a constantly broken fountain wall and was surrounded by a tunnel hallway on one side and a secondary lobby and vault on the other. This could actually be a pretty cool addition.

    Yes, Hogg Palace remains, garage goes.

    $323 in maintenance fee is fairly cheap.

    Yeah like ugly buildings. Idiots.

    I imagine that a larger portion of Dallas to Houston travelers are destined for downtown than 290 and 610. For those not destined for there, the portion destined for TMC, UH, Rice, etc., would be in a much better spot. Those going elsewhere would be more conveniently located.

    If I travel for business to Dallas on the HSR, I would not really be up to catch a bus into town after that. I would probably do what I already do from love and just Uber it. Dallas travelers to Houston probably already Uber it from Hobby but I think what we are hoping for is a better form of transit. Travelling to Dallas now will be better upon arrival than flying. Travelling to Houston will be the same as flying. You are in the middle of nowhere and on your own to get somewhere - unless you want to travel by city bus. People usually don't want that.

    I would go Eighteen 25. Pretty easily.

    Not really, people live in an urban environment with the hopes of avoiding their cars.

    Hotel or another residential (or mixed) would be perfect. Office really doesn't fit in that block at all.

    With John and Lance back together my mornings are good again. No great afternoon options.

    Would/should their figure include Marlowe? (Meaning does CBRE only focus on rental market or is that another flaw in the figures?)
  22. kbates2
    Clanton sucked but not quite as much as Innes.
  23. kbates2
    Do you have the occupancy rates?
  24. kbates2
    Somebody should buy the pyramids and tear them down then sell the property.

    It is still solid but Honeymoon was more of a cafe with table service then a bar. The coffee is the same with the same people making it so that hasn’t changed. Really it went from a cafe with a bar to a fast casual coffee shop with a bar.
