  1. Then why was this downtown property one of five other downtown macy closing???
  2. wait ,wait wait what moron though cover up such fine deco was a good idea ??? I never knew such a nice building was there. time to tear that crap off, reonovate and create some nice apts.. its stupid crap like this that makes me wish I was rich so I could just buy the damn thing myself and do it
  3. The area retail plan had already been revised after Macys closed to focus on making Green St the ancor
  4. want makes you you thing that the ground floor will not have reatail ?
  5. yeahh your in the minority of people who think that train wreak of a building was worth saving.. I would take this glass building over that windowless box anyday
  6. I had not thought about a sunken plaza, did,nt the old foley building use to tie into the tunnels as well, so you could exit the tunnels right into the plaza.. it would do what Houston has been trying to do for years tie the tunnels and the streets together
  7. And that is the kind of boring thinking that has keep downtown with a bad rep..lets turn prime poperty into a damn parking spot..sigh.. I was looking at the area yesterday and it dawn on me even if this project fell though this would be a prime place for a second discovery green type and would not harm the retail plan for Dallas st
  8. There it is again that need to mis-represent the Houston Pavillion only failed from mangement stand point, the bars and entertinment venues and restraunats all have done quite well. Even the limited retail has manganed to hang in there. The area is one of the most people heavy I have seen in Donwtown Houston..Could it step it up of course, but we all know that will requaire downtown Houston to address a number of other problems first...The low residentcy rate the first redevepoment plan called for a DT population of 16,0000 by now, but the econ crashed and goals fail off.. the total popluation minus that absurd adding of the prison population is actually around 3,000 even if you count the new units that are being built and planned then we are looking at another 2,000 in less than 2 years. I would like to see this tread continue, This is what is needed to substain the area and by deflaut draw in more retail and venues
  9. What in blue are you yapping about, the last interview they did they keep going on about creating a urban campus ,nothing about being like exxon"Together with Chevron's existing Houston buildings, the new tower will become part of a campus-like environment with indoor and outdoor common areas, dining facilities, a fitness center and training and conference rooms." That is the only mention they ever made about a campus style.
  10. How is it the tip of the iceberg when we already know that some of the propseed building whould not get built, and that those that struck , first and second would corner the market , this was not unexpected which makes you tip of the ice berg comment absurd....It was never a question of if all of them gets built, but which ones would.
  11. Most of this is not shocking news, we knew going in the first one off the ground would reduce demand for the others... My bet maybe one more gets off the ground before the other developers shelve thier plans at least for now.. So who do most thing will get off the ground next ? I am hoping it is Exxsex who has the most intresting design even more so than 609.. so who do you think will be the next to drop shovel?
  12. Omg its a parking garage I would rather have a 16 story than a flat lot..Plus a story still leaves room for ground floor while still addressing Houston need for parking.. hell it actuall makes it easler .. in stead of a lot that can hold maybe 235, you can now hold 1600.. while not breaking street level retail(if you wanted)
  13. Does any body know what is going on these places.. the Harris county Building has had it ground floor boarded up for a while.. and 405 main adj parking lot is fenced off and as of today had Heavy construction trucks on it
  14. was'nt there suppose to be a medical tower proposed for midtown, but it feel thu after the economy tanked? I have that dream of a main street lined with high rasies and towers..
  15. I am just glad we are getting developers with vison, people who can look out at the parking lots of DT and see block on top of blocks of residental .. these are the type of people Houston needs..
  16. True but even thou we all know that those who oppose them will lose in the end.. How long is does this project get delayed in the process? months, years ?.. In the end they still lose millions in lawyer fee.s and various other costs ..
  17. I just dont understand, with Downtown hading out tax breaks like crazy to get places like this built, and other more scenic areas in Houston begging for development why are the developers dead set on pushing this one.. A place like this would be great in the Herman park area...Can someone tell me why they are fighting so hard for a area that does not even want them there.
  18. I am hoping that the comment they are planning to be agreesive means they will have something in the works by at least Q2.. How great would it be if they built where skyhouse and Hines proposed 6 story is combined with Houston House.. would create a nice little dense area of resdiental
  19. its going to be so strange looking at a vacant lot when I catch the train to go to school. Man I hope this project does not hit any bumps are it going to ruin the look of the area
