    20% parking reduction! Yaaaaasssss!

    Imo there is no better way to advertise than with beautiful art. This is gorgeous and eye catching.

    I don't understand why they don't just open up Houston Center with more floor to ceiling windows. Make that thing a glasshouse. It's not visually or aesthetically pleasing for retail.
  4. j_cuevas713
    I agree. The more residential we pump downtown, retail will follow.
  5. j_cuevas713
    I think all of those are very likely if the city can push for it. Wth ever happened to them announcing an anchor retailer?????

    I'm just glad more co-working spots are opening up. The more the better. Especially for creatives in this city.
  7. j_cuevas713
    I guess you're right. By the time I'm 80 everything will be finished lol

    I just read that the entire project is a 5 to 8 year plan. I'm a little disappointed.

    I thought this would never get off the ground. This is really huge for that corner of downtown.

    You're good man. Any mods know a better place for this topic?

    There were surveying the land this morning.

    Will the restraining order placed on the MMD have any affect on this project?

    Well we still need to build POST HTX and TMC3 first for there to be a true takeoff in the tech industry, BUT we are so damn close and it's exciting.

    Houston is making big gains in the tech industry. So now we will have a medical research center, esports arena for gamers, and Post HTX for tech startups. This city is about to explode! We are literally the next big thing. So proud to be a Houstonian and support it through all the rough times. We're finally seeing the patience pay off.

    With the way they are explaining this location it just makes sense that this is going to become our SoMa SF. It's centrally located in an overall thriving area with solid infrastructure and the ability to draw some MAJOR tenants. I think the city will eventually name this our tech district which would be absolutely huge and a real game changer for this city. When a company like We Work opens offices in your city, it's because they see the potential for technology. We have to capitalize on this and keep our young talent in Houston. I work in animation and I've been waiting a very long time to see something like this happen. I just didn't know where and when it would happen.

    Damn I'd like to go but I'm also not in the RE industry.

    You guys are missing the biggest element with a company like Amazon. It's the cities ability to create an environment for tech startups. This city needs a tech district badly! Harvey has nothing to do with this. Hell they have a city like Miami on the list with less mass transit than us and they get hit yearly by hurricanes. It's the immense art and tech industry in those cities that's drawing Amazon, a tech company. Cities that are leading in innovation made the list. I'm glad Mayor Turner mentioned starting a Innovation District soon. We won't see any benefits from something like that for at least 5 years. Chicago was in the same boat 5 years ago and now they are a leading tech start up city.

    Completely agree. I think if anything, we should focus on rail to the airports and BRT for some of our major thoroughfares. It would be a quick shot in the arm for our public transit system.
  19. j_cuevas713
    You can't have enough. If you want downtown to grow and densify, these types of developments can't have just 1 or 2 locations. You need lot's of these types of meeting places for PEOPLE.
  20. j_cuevas713
    And that's exactly MY point. I understand the planning department can't dictate where a developer wants to build, but much how the city can suggest, for example building closer to the street or parking in the back, why can't they offer an incentive of some kind to build closer or in a certain area?
  21. j_cuevas713
    I feel like this is where our tech startup district is going to be. I could be wrong, but this is one of the main reasons Houston lost the bid for Amazon. We need new ideas in this city.
  22. j_cuevas713
    I'm pretty surprised this forum hasn't embraced this more. I'm really excited to have BRT in this city. Many of the great world cities use this service and San Francisco is building a couple of lines now. Chicago has the Central Loop BRT line that was finished recently. Knowing how much cheaper this is compared to rail, why not do the same down Richmond Ave or Washington Ave? Especially if it can easily be converted in the future. theboulevardproject.com

    Why is this damn esports arena not closer to the city? Ridiculous how we want to bring entertainment to downtown yet every project is near a freeway intersection. Not saying this needs to be downtown but damn what runs thru our city planners heads? I feel like we shoot ourselves in the foot non stop.
  24. j_cuevas713
    I know that, my point is that there will be more foot traffic in the area because of the cap. I highly doubt that side of downtown is just going to become this desolate island all by itself. This side is already developing and coming in to it's own. A live music venue, a few apartments are in the area now, I believe First Baptist is renovating a building for a downtown location.

    It's a stigma not a fact. Yeah in the past the quality of life wasn't great but now that's clearly not that case. Houston is growing in to a nice urban city that is changing for the better. As for mass transit, though it isn't regional transit, for the city I think our system is adequate. Once the BRT line is finished in Uptown and buses begin transferring people from there, there will be more connectivity within the inner city. I think Houston should have marketed the KBR site.
