Do you have a link to the project info?

The work is supposed to start this week and a press release should be mid June.  No link, just getting from someone involved in the golf/restaurant part of the project

Is this going to be purely virtual golf or is there going to be a physical pitch and putt?

East9 will be an actual 9 hole course with driving range and restaurant/bar

To clarify, what got filed was a suit asking to foreclose the mechanic's lien.  The filing looks very routine.

 

These projects are frequently structured using single purpose entities.  What often happens when they go underwater is that the single purpose entity files for bankruptcy.

There is a very structured process for contractors and subs to file suit for foreclosure.  This means that cemex has sent several notices to the project owner “fund trapping noticed” and gotten no satisfaction.  You foreclose on a property, not a company or owner.  If the suit goes forward, this property could very well be auctioned in a foreclosure process.  But that won’t be quick unfortunately 

This reminds me when Texas A&M tried to buy STCL and UH threw a hissy fit.  They wound up in Fort Worth instead and took a law school that didn’t even register before to a top 100 school in less than 4 years.

TCR listed as one of 50 infrastructure projects prioritized by the admin.  Fingers crossed this thread stays clear of other politics.

this area needs a pocket park in the worst way. there is a real lack of public green space in the uptown area.

I'd agree with that. But where?

Lipstick on a pig.

I'm all for grit but yeesh...

agreed. It looks like some depressing Eastern European communist project

KinkaidAlum I think you've out played your hand. Give it up. No one ever said this was about value. This was about the most prestigious public university in the state setting up a research campus in the biggesti city in the state. You've tried to twist and turn it but in the end reality prevails. Just hang it up. Wisdom and money prevails.

Yeah, nobody question what's going on here. What is this, America?

Correct

It's very easy access from Montrose/Hyde park area as well.

such a diversity of young attractive white people

In fairness, the girl in the pool could possibly be Hispanic.

The fins are the best part.. I wouldn't mind a residential developer converting the tower to condos and making the fins balconies..

Those fins aren't structural. There's no way they could become balconies

Agreed...and you'd better be strong. Houston is very strong, and continues to confound the 'wise.'

Real estate in this town is in much worse shape than I think you realize. There's over one million sq feet in the energy corridor you can get dirt cheap. And poaching one tenant from one class a building to a new under construction building isn't a sign of strength. Residential real estate is down for the first time in years. This town has some rough times coming up. It's not doom and gloom because we are much more diversified, but oil is by far the economic driver.

It will be about $60.00/SF all-in

Holy cow. Are new AA buildings really commanding that kind of rent downtown? In the current environment, why would anyone pay $60/ft in Houston?

^^^ THE COFFEE SHOP is now open at ROD. complimentary coffee to all guest / shoppers throughout the holiday season. however, i love me some green tea... yummy!

Do you shop here regularly? Will you adopt me (and my family)?

The Houston A&M club is the largest alumni club in the country. They aren't focused on Houston. They're working to build their presence in Dallas with the new law school. I'd bet you would see an A&M Dallas before you saw an A&M HOUSTON campus.

Holy cow that's ugly. Add another one to the list that turned out far worse than the latest rendering.

It's not a gem, but it's just a Hampton Inn. Those things don't typically make any kind of impact on a skyline unless you're Raleigh or some place like that.

Eh. This group kept bragging about how nice their first property was going to be, but it looks rundown.

Monarch, don't confuse resorts and hotels. Marriott resorts can be very nice, but that doesn't make it a luxury hotel brand. I've stayed in the LM in LA and it was nice but not a luxury brand. The building didn't stand out and the location wasn't great either. My only wish would be for balconies. That would be baller if they could incorporate that somehow.

They've never done any maintenance on those vines. Some are falling down and other spots are dead. There are full on trees growing out of the wall in some spots.

It's a shame. Some minimal maintenance and those vines could be a beautiful stretch of freeway.

Well,,, 10 pm is usually not safe for any major US city downtown

Go to downtown Fort Worth. The Bass family pays for private security to police downtown, and as a result it's very nice, and far safer than most major downtowns.

Am I the only one that read "mf" as Mother F***** lol. Ok, carry on.

No, but that says more about me and you then swtsig

If you haven't been over to the east end and stopped by the original Ninfas on navigation you should. It's a pretty big part of houston history and it's not the same as the cheap chain restaurants around the state. It's like carrabas where the original is still decent, but the cheap chains are crap.
