  1. In addition to this building being on Greenbriar just North of the Greenbriar Post Office building which is itself supposedly for sale this prime space has had a much larger impact on the surrounding neighborhood. In the late 80's and early 90's the shopping center on the East side of Greenbriar was "ground zero" for partying clubs, restaurants and nightlife. However due to Downtown opening up and due to continual complaints from the "St. Germain" foundation many of the businesses lost their liquor licenses. The shopping center never recovered. However it is now purportedly owned by HEB and may not have the same encumbrances as it had in the past. Stay tuned.
  2. A lot if friends are coming with us with chairs, blankets, foods and of course wine cannot wait!
  3. Cannot wait till it tops out! That could be next May.
  4. I went to El Big Band before the Astros game. We sat on the second floor balcony and was very loud construction noise. There are a lot workers there. Once the bottom floors are done it will rise quickly. The Astros are on a skid.
  5. Two cranes for a garage? I don't thinks so.... think, they are building this tower.
  6. On skyscraperpage.com the Houston diagram does show it will be as tall up to the 60th floor of the Chase Tower. What a impact it will make!
  7. The crown may be very close to the observation deck of the Chase tower.
  8. They are pulling out of IAH, the last flight is October 23rd. They cannot even fill 46 business class seats due to the oil turbulence.
  9. So glad he is gone. But he got so much money, kept his Porche. He can fly United first class for life! And will get another $10,000,000. The flights attendants might throw a drink at him. I love United Continental Holdings. Now that the consolidation all the US airlines have the worst on time arrival Southwest is the worst. But Delta, American, United, Southwest don't care anymore. United needs Gordon Bethune again.
  10. What the hell are they are doing to this building! 609 Main is progressing then this nightmare.
  11. Off today! Going to ride my bike there and take pictures. It looks incredible.
  12. Go to Houston Tomorrow meetings the third Thursday each month at Rudyards. That is what we are discussing.
  13. The owner of Lovett that purchased that site is Frank Lu. He has build tract mansions all over Houston. He was the highest bidder. Now this is big time for him. I have no idea what he will build. Maybe multiple highrises for sale, he never leases. Every now and them he comes to the Houston Tomorrow meetings. Very quiet but needs input from the Houston community.
  14. This will have great views of Downtown, The Texas Medical Center, Greenway Plaza, and Uptown.
  15. Avery nice location up to 11 floors now. Thiswill have great
  16. In a plane now but I do have pictures of the Tokyo Skytree it's 2,080 feet tall. AMAZING! I will post them soon.
  17. Dallas has the Reunion Tower with a nice view of downtown and the uptown district.
  18. I wish we had a real observation tower like other cities at least 700 feet high with restaurants, bars, and a nice views of the whole city.
  19. Very strange looks like The Carter in Houston under construction in Houston off Montrose. The same developer from Dallas thanks.
  20. Kitty saw it on the Dallas Morning News and cleaned myself!
  21. How bad, it was posted on skyscraperpage.com the world blog. Whoever posted should remove it. How crazy unless it was a done deal.
