    Zaza isn't close to restuarants and shopping and Renaissance is kind of a weird location unless you're seeing Joel Olsteen. When we have business people come in we out them at the zaza but it would be more convientent and I think a better experience for them to be in Upper Kirby. They could uber or walk to a lot of restuarants or the Village. Plus the newly improved Levy Park right behind it.

    IMHO - upper Kirby could support a bigger hotel. It would be the only new hotel near the heart of River Oaks without crossing rr tracks, plus it would be close to west u and rice village. Of course there is the tragic And tired Doubletree next to Lakewood - but seriously who would stay there?

    My source (very accurate) says the funding is absolutely in and this is on. Groundbreaking this year.

    A perfect dusk shot of Williams Tower.

    From Post Oak at San Felipe.

    Here is the view of the cranes while I'm stuck in traffic at San Felipe.

    This is another project where a Randlall Davis project is blocked (finally after seeing that jail like back side for 10 years) and they tried to sue to stop it. Let's see if the Cosmopolitan tries to stop the 40 story on PO and San Felipe. (And I was actually being insensitive to the downtown jail that is nicer looking than the backside of the Renoir!)

    It's going to happen. It's very deep into the interior designs now and they hired a New York designer to help.

    Off this subject - sorta -but have you noticed the Hanover building on Montrose can be seen from all over now? It's incredible. And when regent square gets built it'll make Allen Parkway look incredible. It just needs a cool top so we can enjoy it (and I don't mean a styrofoam diamond!

    40 would look good there. 85 would be better but we must take what we can. How tall is the AIG building - could look good that distance from each other.

    I heard today from a good source that a 40 story residential tower is actually in final stages of development here. Anyone have the scoop?

    That is the funniest (and truest) comment ever!!!

    Rather than saying it blocks our view they will say "traffic, egress, shadows, etc forgetting that their building does the same thing. Many of the things Used against ashby and unsuccessfully the Hines tower on San Felipe.

    Frankly - we at haif have no say in whether or not this happens. But we would be foolish to wish it to happen elsewhere - as that could happen. Dallas or San Antonio would be thrilled for such a campus. I say yes! Let it happen and UH can up their game too.
  15. Dakota79
    I hope this gets built. As much as I love UH - this is good for the city!

    I'm thinking this will do a good job of hiding the dated cosmopolitan. As usual - they will try to sue for "blocking their views"! Ha. Good luck with that. Let's hope this really happens.

    Wow. Thanks for sharing. It looks crazy dense over there.

    It's all been vacant forever. We sure do need a nice hotel on Kirby. It would be close ti Rice Village, River Oaks and the new Levy Park b

    Not Randall! He's our very own Trump! Perhaps he can wrap it in faux gold. Lots of cheap marble.

    Thank you for sharing. GRB looks so much better!!

    Praise be to the real estate gods!!! I love this city and all the residential. Thanks for the great posts!

    I just looked at Google Earth and that little neighborhood is so cool looking from the above. The Hines building isn't finished in the satellite image.

    Looks like they lopped off top part of the Monticello and plunked it on a box.

    Wow! Thanks for the photos. And I'm glad the Hilton is getting some competition. They played hardball with a nonprofit event last year (as they could) and now we will have more choices.

    That will be so weird for it to be gone!
