The real reason the person you're describing wouldn't buy one of these units is because they probably live in Dallas.

Midtown Restaurant And Bar Scene - More Coming
phillip_white replied to WestGrayGuy's topic in Midtown
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but there's a non-profit called ESCAPE that bought the boarded-up building at 2410 Hamilton. Looks like they have a lot of after-hours classes and events so hopefully this will be good for the area. I just wish they would freshen up the exterior. http://www.learntoparent.org/index.php?page=escape-s-new-home -

I subconsciously hum the Imperial March whenever the Days Inn building ends up photobombing an otherwise good picture.

I walked by yesterday afternoon and it looked like they're finished with the new wooden deck. Two owner-looking guys were doing what appeared to be a walk through with an older lady. I wasn't aware that it was already open, so thanks for the heads up!

Keep in mind that a scaffolding set-up is an interconnected structure. If one piece fails, especially toward the bottom, the rest of the structure has to compensate. Sure these are built with a safety factor, but if a critical structural element is removed you've got a domino effect that will take out the whole scaffolding. Strangely enough there is a video of this collapse (shot by tourists) that shows how it fails.

Yeah, I agree. Can't believe they're putting stucco over the brick. I actually like(d) the way the facade looked before and think all it needed was new windows, power wash, and landscaping. That's kind of why I was interested in the next use for the building.

Does anyone happen to know what's going on with the remodel across the street from this? https://www.google.com/maps/@29.7402937,-95.3794147,3a,37.5y,259.17h,90.16t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sIMkz9PIRoTSNIBZDfe_8XQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1 Looks like they're doing a pretty substantial reno.

I agree that the mesh doesn't appear as per the renders, but perhaps they were just showing the outer layer as transparent (as is often the case) to show a bit of the inside? I rode my bike by yesterday afternoon and the corrugated metal facade appears as though it will look quite nice at night... and may even be somewhat transparent... when the breezeway is illuminated.

You can't see it in fkp5's photo, but the mini tower crane (some speculated concrete pump) base is installed on the North end of the hole. edit: Just kidding, a small section of the top is visible above the sand next to the white truck. -

My guess is that it's for meetings, office space, or some super basic bowling lessons? http://www.yelp.com/biz/houston-womens-bowling-association-houston
