Looks like La Perla has been confirmed. The company website lists Houston as one of three new American shops opening soon (the other two being in Atlanta and San Francisco).

Has any new retail been announced for ROD?

Though OliverMcMillan remains mum on retail signings, ROD is likely where Etro will be opening.

Is there some kind of permit or something they have to obtain before demolishing these buildings? They have literally done nothing for two months except put up a fence with green cloth over it and those big signs. They've been paying for a guard 24/7 to keep out squatters. They have literally done nothing else. The lights are still on and everything. There are still air conditioners on the roofs (I'd think those would have to be removed properly first due to the refrigerant). I haven't seen anyone removing appliances or anything. I think the fitness equipment is still there too.

Is this typical?

For now, I think McMillan is more focused on his development in Atlanta. He recently acquired a huge construction loan from Wells Fargo, and construction has started on another parcel of the development, in addition to the Hermes parcel.

Have construction dates or estimatea been set for the River Oaks project?
