I can just see it now. If you support Metro initiative to place a rail line down Richmond, vote "No". Just like the last Metro vote. :-(

Its the roof top of the Harris County Jury assembly center, or something. It won awards, I believe.

Another survey places United Last in Customer Satisfaction. Not getting any better.

It's the Catholic Church. That's why. Add it to the list.

From every realty program I have ever seen: "I love the granite."

Really Cool Brochure. Love it. Thank you for that!

If Randall's Midtown is considered a Major Grocery Store than why are people always saying, "what downtown/midtown needs is a major grocery store"? It's got one. But, you are right...a full size HEB (or similar), like Montrose Market, is not what we should expect. But, clearly a product like WF's has a minimum footprint in which they require.

I'm hoping that a Nice Hotel can Materialize along the Bayou, where "3" building is shown.

Anyway, my point is that WF could not "easily" create a store that utilizes a smaller (or even standard) block size, like there are in Midtown and downtown. So, closing Rosalie is necessary. And if we are to see another Major grocer in midtown or downtown, it'll will very likely have to be a similar scenario, or be on an elevated floor which bridges a street. This is a major problem for any Major Grocerry store. Randall's Midtown is what you can get, which isn't bad, but you can't call it a "major" store. Btw. Any idea what the square footage of Randall's is anyone?

I know that there are tons of department stores that are more than one level (Target, Walmart, Macy's of course). And, that there are plenty of stacked parking garages that use different escalator designes to handle the traffic. I haven't seen the San Antonio HEB. Does it really have its grocery products on seperate levels? Phoenicia...many people probably don't even realize that there is a second floor. If you had a cart, I'm not sure how'd you get it up there. Definitely a different not the same as a major grocer.

I don't think any major grocery store can easily split the main shopping floors between two levels. To me it looks like this one willl be two floors. But, the second floor is probably a dining/lounge mezzanine, or something. If customers are going to be pushing carts, it's got to be one floor, and maybe a parking garage. But searching for items on your list, between two floors, just won't work. At least not here. Yet. Can anyone think of any examples of major grocery stores that cover two floors in this way?

Cloud. Interesting. It appears to be 19 completed floors on MM. Also, interesting to note it that the 19th floor on the Hilton is even at floor 12 or 13 on Hess.

Cloud. You were exactly at eye level with the highest completed floor of the Marquis. From what floor of the Hilton did you take that shot?

They are lowering the roof because the FAA complained.

No thanks.

Every ugly building looks better in the dark.

The new alignment of I-10/I-45 will open this open this plot of land up, a lot.

Utilities, streets, sites are all set. Two weeks ago, no slabs had been poured.

Looks Like there  is a residential /hotel component to this project.  Balconies on the mid height building.

I'm not really sure what people were/are expecting from this little project. It's a Holiday Inn. Nothing fancy and there really isn't that much to work with. It's great that it's a renovation of a derelict old hotel. But, were we really expecting much more. I think maybe it was news when the renovation was announced, but there have been so many announcements since and there are so many larger projects underway, that it just isn't big news anymore. It will be, a decent little place when it's done, I think. Will add more life to the area.

Because then they would have to merge. And split off. That's what slows down traffic.

Hair.

Whoa! Very impressive. Sunshine Skyway meets Selina. Love it.

TxDOT is pulling out stops recently.

I think that if some more of our community leaders had similar "chaos" in their heads, this city would be beyond where we currently are.

Used aircraft are less costly to add to the fleet than are new planes, but they can be more prone to maintenance issues and, even with upgraded interiors, they may not match the amenities available on newer-model planes.
