From yesterday.

From the article: "Developers quickly claimed the tax credits, and Houston doubled the size of the initiative to a total of 5,000 housing units in 2014. Developers signed up for the last of these incentives early this year; however, some might drop out because of concern that Houston’s energy economy will be damaged by falling oil prices or that too much competition exists from other apartments under construction. “One or two may have stalled because of the change in the price of oil,” says Parker, but she notes that the city has a waiting list of other developments interested in the incentives." Does that mean that other projects could get the incentives if a developer who already has incentives drops their project?

You guys are right. This just looks like a curvier 609 Main. However, this is just a preliminary design, so it could still change. It said that an architectural competition was being held for this tower. But even if it's built like that, it would still be a great addition to the Dallas skyline.

Wow, a possible H&M as well. Also, is that Chicago in the background? A lot of our projects for some reason don't seem to want to use backgrounds of Houston in their renderings.

Huge improvement, but isn't this in the path of the I-45 realignment?

Maybe we could start getting automated parking garages in downtown.

Wow, if a tower was built on one of those abandoned lots south of Toyota Center, it would have some great views.

Yeah, a friend showed this to me and asked me to guess what city this was, and honestly I couldn't tell this was Dallas at first glance. It wasn't until I looked more closely that I realized it was Dallas. The city has changed so much over the years. I'm glad that all of the major Texas cities are showing a lot of development progress in their cores. A lot of people don't seem to like the Austin tower, but I think it looks pretty good. It'll really add some nice height to the skyline. I hope Houston can follow suit and eventually get a 600+ foot condo tower in downtown in the near future.

I saw this on the Dallas Skyscraperpage. It looks like Victory Park is really filling up with projects. http://www.trademarkproperty.com/wp-content/uploads/VP_LeasingPkg_040615-NEW-WEB.pdf

It was originally planned to start in the fourth quarter of 2015. More recently, the developers of the project have said that they expect to announce a groundbreaking date and construction timeline within a few months, once financing is lined up. So we should be getting more details pretty soon. http://www.mystatesman.com/news/business/seaholm-areas-rebirth-to-include-austins-tallest-t/nksBg/?ecmp=statesman_social_twitter_2014_sfp#08671b4c.3432329.735700

This is going to be great for Austin! Austin is definitely ahead of Houston in terms of high rise residentials in downtown. I hope Houston can eventually get something like this. http://www.independentaustin.com/ Here's a screenshot from their video showing the building in the skyline. You can see that Austin already has a lot under construction in this area. Larger rendering.

Will the food mart be demolished? That's the worst building on the block.

Good news. From this post on TCR's Facebook page from March 12th, it looks like they want the station to be downtown. https://www.facebook.com/texascentral/posts/1588031001439640?comment_id=1588038384772235&offset=0&total_comments=6&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R0%22%7D

A unified skyline from downtown to the med center is very very far away. What I'm more excited about is seeing downtown fill up. It is already very dense from this view and this side will be almost filled once all the proposed projects finish up. The south/southeast side is what needs more work.

A redesign would be nice. There's nothing wrong with the current design, but I think they could do a little better in tying it in with their other two buildings.

Very nice. 609 Main is really going to make an impact from this view.
