    For months now I've been wondering about that section in the top right with no panels.. Are they putting balconies there? It was enclosed in the renderings.

    Bingo. The downtown dock would naturally be Allens Landing. Have a dock (or two, this site is pretty long) here for the new development, and another at the turning basin where the Maritime Museum is supposed to go (the plan is for the museum to be the launching point of the ship channel boat tour, so a water taxi connection would help link more people to the museum/tour).

    Did Anne Fontaine(?) back out?

    The New York Times gave our Marriott Marquis a shout out. https://www.google.com/amp/mobile.nytimes.com/2016/09/30/insider/the-texas-shaped-world.amp.html?client=safari

    I'm pretty sure people on this board are aware that a bayou is a "slow moving river", but that doesn't change the fact that the body of water that this property is on is called Buffalo Bayou, not Buffalo River. Either way I'm happy about the planned development.

    Admittedly i dont understand the "east river" moniker either. A ) it's not a "river". b ) it sounds too much like an NYC rip off. True. Last I heard the realignment was still up in the air, though it seemed like txdot was leaning heavily towards the realignment. I'm not sure "obstruction" would be much of an issue though? On a somewhat related side note, I had mentioned in the past that I hoped whoever developed this property would implement some sort of bayou transportation connecting the site with Allens Landing/downtown. They could be a midpoint stop between Allens Landing and the proposed Maritime museum at the turning basin.

    What is the arched roof structure?

    Im liking the details on the lower levels. What's with the missing "panel"/section near the top in the first couple of pictures?

    The pool deck should have a great view of downtown. I wonder if the larger balcony recessed on the top floor will be a common area?

    Thanks.. these pictures popped up in my instagram feed. Views from the top.

    How do you link instagram photos here?
  12. cloud713
    Yeah, I too was thinking a black pool deck would get hot. Maybe they are covering that surface with something else? Does the lobby section of the hotel jut out into the courtyard any? Or is the courtyard really just that narrow through there? Looking at it while driving by on Fannin it looks like the new lobby area juts out into the courtyard. Maybe its just more narrow than i remember/im getting it confused with the width of the wider middle segment?

    From the link.. "Grocery store" does seem like a bit of a stretch, but there will be some options, none the less. Maybe Aris will get a legit grocer? Seems like they hoped to sign one.

    Nice article! The description sounds intriguing.. I wonder if Day For Night will use any of the bomb shelters for their art installations. Would make for a unique environment.

    The artists were announced recently for the Day For Night festival. http://www.dayfornight.io http://consequenceofsound.net/2016/09/correction-houstons-day-for-night-festival-just-delivered-the-last-great-lineup-of-2016/

    Houston.. Where single family homes share the same block as high rise buildings.
  21. cloud713
    Agreed Tiger.. I had hoped they might do that, given the green space shown in the initial conceptual renderings. All of the barren flat roof tops in our urban areas are so much wasted potential.

    Those were installed sometime back in the spring. Between the trees and the streetlights, this corridor is starting to create its own identity..
  23. cloud713
    Maybe one of those facade example walls?

    Culbersons district also includes a portion of Post Oak. He's the reason they had to go forward with BRT instead of rail..
  25. cloud713
    Not trying to get this off topic, but since you insist on bringing up rail.. "Uptown" doesn't want the light rail, or Culberson doesn't want the light rail..?
