That's not a new terminal, it's a replacement and redevelopment of an existing bus terminal, with an extension of the Caltrain line from 4th and King to the new terminal(unlikely to be completed until 2026, apparently), and a pedestrian connection to the existing BART Embarcadero station near Market and Pine. It's easy to build a terminal when most of the connections are nearby or already exist. The San Francisco project is nothing like the proposals for the NW Mall site. San Francisco also has far higher density, and far less empty space, so there is more impetus for transit projects, and they make more sense there.

I'm referring to the future over 400,000 live inside the loop.  That will double in 15 t0 20 years have some sort plan now!

Houston is not hammered. We need a slowdown to fill everything up.  Houston has the 10 busiest port in the world, and the largest medical center in the world. Look at the GNP of Texas who brings in more money.  We also had the best Superbowl ever!

This is a great topic.  A great spot for it, but cannot connect to buses. As they are building in San Francisco right next to the Saleforse Tower a large terminal with BART, MUNI, Heavy Rail and buses.  We are so far behind and the county and the city are just stupid. 

Very impressive for some romantic sexy fun! 

Very nice park.  Cool layout, the music was fun and everybody was dancing in front of the stage. I have never seen so many dogs!  Good food, nice landscaping.

Why would they bring a separate crane in for the crown when they already have a tower crane..? Me thinks it's to dismantle the office tower crane?

Yes you are right.  When we walked to Levy Park you can see they are taking down the crane off the office building.  

Today there is a huge crane on Kirby.  I think it is for to crown on top of the building. 

Yes, me and some friends are walking over there.  Gorgeous day for it. Meow   

I was there last weekend and there was a lot of foot traffic, and Barnaby's was open. 

A friend of mine that work for United at 1600 Smith said they are moving into 609 main last part of April. 

Houston - Continental Center I

This post-modern gas chamber inspires suicide and nothingness at every section. Everything looks sterile and as if designed to trap people inside. Sort of ironic considering the only thing this building was known for was being vacant.

Sorry I'll get back to the subject.

Sorry about that on skyscraper.com is is noted a ugly building check out the list.  I'm not mocking Dallas, I just wish we had our downtown lighted up that they have.  It is not a insult.  Meow! 

It is a very ugly building, but this is the nicest it has looked.  Soon United Airlines is is moving from 1600 Smith to 609 Main.  I wish we could light up the skyline like Dallas.  Meow!

Looks like they are starting the crown.

It is surprised me also Houston First did a wonderful job.

Whoever currently owns BG Group Place or whatever it's now called should sue Hines for making their building suddenly look so dull and earthbound. It's like seeing someone in an Armani suit walk up next to someone in khakis and a blazer. Just flatfooted.

 

What a stupid remark  BG Group Place just got a big lease.  You are not making any sense.

What a beautiful area.  Houston First has done a very great development. It would be a slap in the face is the Dallas Cowboys reach the Superbowl!  They are the best time in the NFC.   

I was at 24 hour fitness and part of the land is fenced of.  The view from the gym they are excavation that area with pipes, and drainage.  Something is being built.

So you are going to the Quilt Convention?

I would love to be invited.  Bring Goode Company seafood and drinks just to swim there!

Great news since my Dad died of cancer.  Thanks Urbannizer!

Please be positive.  Just remember when EADO had no development.  Now it is getting ready to take off!  There are a lot of people moving here and want to be inside the loop.  Get it now until pricing hikes.  They did a open a Walmart about two miles away.  One day EADO will connect with UOH.
