    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.

    This will have great views of Downtown, The Texas Medical Center, Greenway Plaza, and Uptown.

    Dallas has the Reunion Tower with a nice view of downtown and the uptown district.

    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.

    Very strange looks like The Carter in Houston under construction in Houston off Montrose. The same developer from Dallas thanks.

    How bad, it was posted on skyscraperpage.com the world blog. Whoever posted should remove it. How crazy unless it was a done deal.

    Saw it boring.

    This proposal is not a proposal according to the Dallas Morning News. Harwood said they old renderings and they have not disclosed what to build there. It was pretty exciting for a few days.

    With values often exceeding $1 billon the latest supertall building projects pose new challenges for insurers, as well as for architects and contractors.

    I don't like the design. It looks like something they will build in Singapore, or China. It appears to be over 4 million square feet. A city within a city, Tito's for Dallas if it gets built. Honestly I'll believe it when the cranes are there. Being so close to Love Field even getting insurance would cost a lot of money.

    I recently went to a nice wedding. It looks like their cake. It is really nice, but why is it the name after a watch?

    It is on Nancy Sarnoff blog in the Chronicle. Frank Gehry, Cesar Pelli, Robert Stern, Henry Cobb, Jon Pickard, John Burgee, and the late Philip Johnson's partner.

    True, this may be a skyscraper this dynamic when they built Pennzoil Place in the 70's. Plus Gerald D. Hines wants Platinum LEED Certification. He will be in town next Saturday for his 90th birthday along with famous architects in the world.

    This is not "Houston Tomorrow" idea. J. Sam Lott is vice president of Kimley-Horn. He did a slide show of Houston's Impending Transportation Crisis. He has a great idea I have not seen anyone with anything better.
  21. nativehoustonion
    Yes your right we may be close to 6.6 million. Singapore has 290 square miles very dense. They use there heavy rail system and connect to there Senkang Circulator. Because these commuters to get to their final destination. J. Sam Lott said Paris building right now. They look like the tram system at Bush airport.
  22. nativehoustonion
    Believe or not Houston metropolitan has the same population as Singapore there population is 5,567,000. They have a Sengkang District Circulator which discharged 1,000 people at a time. Houston will need this in the future. .

    Your right Kanas City and Union Pacific railroad companies are building two more freight lines. Getting prepared when the Panama Canal is completed. They do not want to share it with commuter rail. We need to build another line next to them. Houston is the third largest freight line in the country.
  24. nativehoustonion
    Thanks pull it up construction is starting.
  25. nativehoustonion
    Commuter rail is very expensive he said between 2 to 4 billon dollars. But we have start doing something now or Houston's economy will falter. Can you imagine traveling on the freeways with another 5 million residents here! I'm watching the news right now and the major freeways takes 45 minutes to over an hour to get into downtown Houston.
