  1. That would be really awesome, I could imagine Galveston being a great place for casinos.
  2. What do you guys think Houston lacks or what are things that can make Houston a better city? I would like your thoughts and ideas on what could make Houston a better city. Things I think would make Houston a better city: 1.) Wide Sidewalks 2.) Led Streetlights 3.) Buried Powerlines --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  3. The renderings on skyscraperpage reveal the other side. http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showpost.php?p=6322560&postcount=5593
  4. Its no a complete box! It has a curve to it! I love it.
  5. "It's a deal of firsts: For the first time in its 15 years of ownership, GenCap Partners sold a site in Chasewood Technology Park. And the buyer will build the first Marriott in Northwest Houston in over a decade. (There's an old saying: You never forget your first kiss, your first love, or your first technology park sale.)" Uniquity Real Estate's Lisa Hankamer (right, with Griffin Partners' Kimberly Gauss) repped the seller; she tells us the site is seven acres within the 32-acre master-planned office park. Her team was brought on board by GenCap and leasing agent Transwestern because they felt a hotel would complete a live-work-stay-play environment. (One could move there and never leave.) The park has 463k SF of office space and is adjacent to Hewlett Packard's HQ, Noble Energy's 1M SF campus, and Lone Star College's 1.2M SF campus. It's also near retail and multifamily offerings at Vintage Park and Willowbrook Mall. Lisa tells us the deal also benefitted from its proximity to the Energy Corridor, The Woodlands, and Bush Airport. One challenge: Changing flood plain requirements. Buyer MAS Lodging Capital will build a Marriott SpringHill Suites on the tract. It was drawn to the strong office absorption (especially Noble's recent activity) and will build above-average meeting space to serve those users. Look for groundbreaking soon and completion in September 2014. There's more office and retail coming to Chasewood Technology Park as well—GenCap SVP Paul Vangrieken says an additional 500k SF of office is coming soon (5 and 6 Chasewood), and three retail pads have been carved out for fine dining and other services. Lisa just formed her company six weeks ago and tells us she has a lot of unique hotel projects in the works, including marketing a resort on the Frio River and a boutique property in Costa Rica." http://www.bisnow.com/commercial-real-estate/houston/the-deal-sheethou102913/
  6. There is no official start date yet, final word on the project I believe is in December.
  7. If you look at the first rendering, on the right it looks like they added 2929 weslayan near the old AT&T building.
  8. Wouldn't this break a record for being the tallest hotel in Houston?
  9. I don't think the height of another building makes the chances for the others to be scaled down.
  10. Multifamily Residential http://www.yourhoustonnews.com/courier/news/multifamily-development-features-luxury-residences-on-lake-woodlands/article_5b798f9a-a95a-5a4f-9fe3-9ead23c2b4ca.html?mode=image&photo=1
