Corporate Plaza Buildings On Kirby Dr.
Dakota79 replied to lockmat's topic in River Oaks/Upper Kirby/Greenway Plaza/Bissonnet
I heard this morning from a customer of One2One Training that they have been given notice to vacate and all of the tenants in these hideous buildings must move out by October. I don't know how to post a photo,but has anyone heard if these will be torn down, or (ugh) remodeled?- 113 replies

That "it's hot in Houston" is so tired. I have lived in Baltimore and it was just as hot, just as humid, and we walked 1-2 miles to go to a restuarant because the parking was so bad. NYC you can walk as far. Same with Chicago. And they are hot in the summer, and when you go to a restuarant they charge for tea refills! 5 years ago in Houston you never saw a pedestrian. Now you see them and bicyclists everywhere. It's great to go out and eat and walk it off. An added bonus is you are more connected to the city when you walk and see the houses, businesses etc.

I believe it has to do with the David Crocket subdivision behind it. In that neighborhood they have strict guidelines. Two stories on Virginia and Ferndale, and no town homes on Lake Street, which is why that still hasn't really developed. Who wants a single family facing the car wash, Bed Bath/Beyond etc?

I love it. Uptown is maturing quickly, but it needs another signature building like Williams Tower. Well, maybe just a bit taller!

From the Austin Business Journal. I like the looks of this, and it would be gorgeous in Houston! I apologize if this is already listed. http://www.bizjournals.com/austin/blog/real-estate/2014/05/39-story-downtown-tower-on-austin-city-councils.html

Shawshank! One of my favorite movies. May have to watch it again. And I agree., a little hope is a good thing! -
Houston named US road rage capital !
Dakota79 replied to HoustonMidtown's topic in Traffic and Transportation
I am on the roads all day, and don't experience road rage. If you leave enough time to get where you are going, and let people in here and there you'll find Houston drivers not too bad. I find it a lot less stressful when I'm not in a hurry. Being in a rush causes the rage, IMHO. -
Wow. That is gorgeous. Do you think it'll block the downtown views from the Museum Tower? Kind of looks like it. It'll likely be finished before the crane is up at the famous Ashby Tower of Terror.

Have you seen the back sides of his buildings. The jail on the bayou is more appealing. And that's not saying much. It's like Randall forgets you can see all four sides of a midrise! Argh... The humanity!

Go to the Upper Kirby District website. They are paying to bury the utilities, improve signage and sidewalks and they added the new sculpture on Kirby. In addition, the roads are being completely replaced section by section.

Upper Kirby District did all that work with their Tax reinvestment dollars. Westheimer is also part of the work they are doing now.

I can't get over all the cranes in Houston. It truly is an incredible time to be a Houstonian. I can't wait for the convention center Marriot crane, and the famed Ashby crane to be installed!

Is COH Abandoning 200 Block Of Fairview St.
Dakota79 replied to trymahjong's topic in Historic Houston
I doubt they are closing Fairview. Maybe whichever side street is at that corner. Fairview carries too much east/west traffic. -
I agree with you JAX. I think it will be fine once it's up, and furthermore would bet $$ that some of those that are complaining will eventually move into it when they downsize. Or maybe their kids or parents might move in to be close to them. The views will be spectacular.

I was surprised how much of the lot it takes up. It is going to look huge. It's a lot closer to the streets than I expected.

Looks like they are doing the sewer work etc. Very noisy. I'm sure no one will complain, right? Here is the link to the photo I posted on swamplot http://swamplot.com/construction-work-has-begun-on-the-ashby-highrise/2014-05-06/
