    It's owned by hildebrand ventures, whose owner also owns rapidly growing Hilcorp Energy.

    . Bad idea. Public golf courses are in such demand and low supply in this town. Just because it doesn't suit you doesn't mean it's not good. That course is always jam packed. I don't care for Shakespeare in the park but that doesn't mean we should take out the sparsely used amphitheater to suit me.

    Just a hunch, but I would suppose the thought is they aren't breaking ground until 1st Qtr 2014, and fencing that much property cost money. They fenced while they had some prelim work going on, but no longer need the fence until real ground breaking. I also don't think an open grass field poses any risk to the general public. This is just my guess. I wouldn't get worried about the project overall.

    If UA intended to compete for Houston travelers they shouldn't have made those routes from Houston the most expensive in the country post merger.

    Right. I'll believe that when I see it.

    Yes visibility is bad there. But if we're going to attack that problem in Houston we only have about 45,000 other structures to get working on.

    I want to see more on the revenue side. What is the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, OTC, other conventions, etc. expected to contribute in revenue. Otherwise all I see is one expensive renovation with higher property taxes.

    Those are all different hotels. The W isn't even in the same league as those others

    I also understand the galleria area has the benefit of a budget by way of a tirz and 59 has to rely on a regional txdot office with most likely a small maintenance budget

    To be clear I like vegetation but the out of control look drives me crazy. It's my personality. Some people like the wild look but I like the clean cut look.

    I'd prefer they put something they will maintain. The galleria 610 is beautiful and this stretch looks bad to me. It's my opinion, I didn't say it was right but I'm entitled to it

    Of a very poor quality. (And, however you did your smiley emoticon thing)

    I maintain it looks atrocious. The vegetation is half dead and completely neglected.

    When does TXDOT give up on the stupid vegetation on 59 and start over? It looks atrocious driving through there. There are trees growing out of what should be crawlers up the freeway.

    This thread popped up out of the blue. Is there something going here?

    I have hard time believing they would approve the tree transplant to begin with. But as someone who deals with Exxon a lot, if they do decide to go forward on a project, it will most definitely cost five times as much as a smaller/leaner organization could do it. They are known for redundancy (over engineering) and gold-plating projects. They are very large, and projects reflect that.

    When heritage plaza made a tunnel connection to the garage they open trenched it. I drove over big iron plate for a long time

    I did it once. The flight was cheaper from HOU-IAH-CLE instead of direct IAH-CLE. It took about twenty minutes. This was about fifteen years ago. When I asked why they had the flight I was told something about logging hours but I'm not sure if that was right.

    Midtown Houston vs uptown Dallas seem like odd comparisons

    It's very near canal street

    I know an XOM engineer being moved to ...Tyler and its a good career move. I know another that recently moved to Brussels. I suspect some will leave the company but I don't think XOM is worried if that's what you're implying.

    Don't use this forum as your window to the world. The Exxon campus is literally the big thing around town everyone is talking about. It's going to change Houston (populations) for better or worse.

    If I recall it will be taken down floor by floor similar to 1200 Louisiana.
