  1. After reading that, I feel like Ted from the movie "Ted" when he opens the refrigerator door, grabs a "Michelob Ultra Tuscan Orange Grapefruit" and says "my God, America is imploding."
  2. I thought the same thing...it does look a little higher up. That said, "out of town" is no excuse for the lack of pictures we've all been patiently waiting for from this past weekend.
  3. Nice shot. If I lived at 1200 Post Oak, I would build a zip line to Crave Cupcakes and routinely bust through those doors w/ reckless abandon.
  4. Ahh, I remember reading about that...didn't know that was the location. Thank you swtsig!
  5. I drove by today and noticed the land has been cleared, and all the animal bushes on Buffalo Speedway are gone too. Anyone have any info "as per" what's going on at this site?
  6. No kidding...the contractor must be a subsidiary of TxDot.
  7. Just about every distant picture shared on this site lately reveals at least one other crane somewhere nearby. And it seems to be just getting started...
  8. The slopes where they planted those trees used to be concrete just like the other side is today.
  9. I'm indifferent as to what I like more. There are 20 story towers I like at that height, and there are 50 story towers I like at that height. Either way, I love the infill that's going on downtown of all sorts. Retail will likely flourish when most of these residential mid and high rises are finished. Thanks for that research, Houston19514. I think soon enough we'll be on that list ourselves.
  10. That's true, but those cities have only had their 50+ story residential buildings for a few years. I'm not sure about Charlotte, but Austin has always had a lot of people living "downtown." I just think it's weird that they are getting those projects while we don't (as of now at least) have anything existing or on the design boards taller than 42 stories (Hermann Place), especially considering the sheer volume of growth all over Houston. It doesn't have to be downtown here either, as the Galleria area is Houston's prime location for high rise condos.
  11. I've always found it interesting that Houston's "tallest" (by floor count) residential high rise is 40 stories while other, much smaller cities (Charlotte, Austin, etc.) have 50+ story condos.
