  1. ^^^ ...says who? as you may attest above, the original renderings/concepts for the X DENVER... illustrated the painted mural style parking garage design. however, the initial as well as current renderings/concepts (that we have all witnessed thus far) for the X HOUSTON... does not indicate any design elements of this particular nature. do you harbor any inside info...?
  2. ^^^ my gosh, are you kidding me? this place went from... THE MANN EYE CLINIC, to the now... "MUSEO INSTITUTE FOR MEDICAL ARTS"? i mean, what next... THE GALLERIA DE MUSEO DE INSTITUTE DE BELLISSIMO DE MAGNIFICO MEDICAL ARTS?
  3. ^^^ i saw footage of the NEW HEAD COACH IME UDOKA'S press conference, where the stunning news of the $70mm GALLERIA AREA ROCKETS PRACTICE FACILITY was revealed. actually, it was a (slip-of-the-tongue) via tillman fertitta on the reveal. he also stated that at some point when the organization is ready, "more information regarding the new facility shall be forthcoming". my initial thoughts when he stated "GALLERIA AREA" was that this facility shall probably be located ON or NEAR his POST OAK PROPERTY. should this indeed be the case, then said facility shall undoubtedly become a very exciting and state-of-the-art venue for rockets practices. i cannot wait to see the reveal of the renderings/concepts. great day for rockets...
  4. ^^^ actually, this is what happens when your have a WHOLE LOT OF MONEY and can actually get things accomplished the right way. additionally, what we do not see here is... get ready for it... VALUE ENGINEERING!
  5. ^^^ hmmmmm... we're definitely used to witnessing stunning value engineering and development downsizing circumstances like this in H-TOWN. however, IN AUSTIN, TX? (the initial SUPERTALL concept/renderings were absolutely MAGNIFICENT. a million times better than the current 45x story pronouncement) therefore, i shall not believe it, until i actually see it...
  6. ^^^ my goodness! just when i think that i have seen it all...
  7. ^^^ @Highrise Tower outstanding illustrations. the stone pavement details along with the blooming trees are really beautiful. you rock!
  8. quality is paramount

  9. ^^^ please construct this development. i'm begging you...
  10. ^^^ what's with that strange "MF" moniker? what does this mean? everytime that i see it, i keep thinking about the BAD WORDS. what on earth?
  11. ^^^ as a PROUD HOUSTONIAN, i couldn't more happier with the PROFOUND SUCCESS of AUSTIN, TX. who on earth, could have imagined that our cute little burnt orange hill country HOME of the TEXAS LONGHORNS, is suddenly becoming a BONA FIDE CERTIFIED MEGALODON? HOOK'EM BABY!
  12. ^^^ i constantly find it amazing that the MAGNIFICENT and GORGEOUS city of austin, tx, seem to harbor no issues with going FULL THROTTLE with the height of it's new developments. people are already stating that austin, tx, could become the next miami...
  13. ^^^ i see you, and i can certainly comprehend your sentiment here @tigereye however, my initial statements were never a lesson in HOUSTON SPORTS VENUE GEOGRAPHY. my initial sentiment was, is... always regarding the actual QUALITY, PLANNING, and CONSTRUCTION of the actual VENUES themselves. you have initiated a very eloquent illustration of the GEOGRAPHICAL attributes regarding houston's said venues. however, the geographical or CLOSENESS of the venues inside HOUSTON PROPER, doesn't necessarily mean that these venues are indeed qualitative and world class. their not. IMO, all of our current sporting venues SUCK... except for the SHELL ENERGY STADIUM. the new ownership of SHELL ENERGY STADIUM, harbor no issues with taking the full initiative, and maintaining their respective WORLD CLASS stadium with full qualitative... EVERYTHING. the stadium is simply MAGNIFICENT. brilliant in design, construction, and overall quality... and is obviously aging quite gracefully. now THIS... is what my initial sentiment regarding houston's sporting venues is all about...
  14. ^^^ i was always wondering just where on earth, did the MANN EYE CLINIC acquire sooooooooooooo MUCH MONEY to plan and construct such an ambitious/stunning development? i guess my thoughts and concerns were hereby warranted after all...
  15. ^^^ dude, if it's proving to be this difficult for you to comprehend anything here, then maybe you should just give up or journey into another thread. actually, upon reading your post, i really do not even know just what you are speaking of. (whos talking about the "useful life" of stadiums here?) (who told you that i was "comparing houston to dallas" here?) actually, we are speaking about VENUES and HOSPITALITY DEVELOPMENTS here... and the very fact that theirs seem to always be far superior and totally outclasses anything we have in houston. once again, THIS IS NOT NEUROSURGERY dude. just because YOU don't support my argument, doesn't necessarily mean that i don't have an argument. right?
  16. ^^^ actually, THE FUTURE IS NOW IN H-TOWN. IMO, it's not about locating newer larger state-of-the-art venues in our many suburban areas. IT'S ABOUT PLANNING THEM CORRECTLY TO FORTIFY HOUSTON PROPER. IMO, this is what has happened to NRG STADIUM, and subsequently, TOYOTA CENTER. they were not planned correctly in the first place. this is ultimately why they have AGED so FAST and look the way they look. the city of dallas always seems to METICULOUSLY planned their respective venues beforehand, to make certain that they age as gracefully as possible.
  17. ^^^ in my most earnest view, UH has become a construction powerhouse. they do not have to emulate anything like TEXAS, they are moving along at the speed of light to enable and fortify whatever they can imagine. although, I LIVE AND BREATHE EVERYTHING UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, i am constantly amazed, delighted, and overjoyed at the numerous accomplishments via the university of houston. they are becoming a serious force to reckon with. GO COOGS!
  18. ^^^ i absolutely concur. you have just gathered my entire point, dallas has already long completed their respective W HOTEL. yet, we in H-TOWN, are still scratching our heads...
