    Is it just perspective or I'd SH3 more broad than SH1

    I agree, he is sleeping on the one downtown too. I know there are delays and stuff but some projects seem to get going without much hoopla, while others drag on for ten years. To make it worse after the ten years the results are still disappointing. I rather the skyhouse model. They are like hey, this is my average looking hi rise. I will break ground a month from announcing this, it will top off five months after that, and be ready to move in within a year.

    I agree with HH such prime property should have been racing skyward in this construction boom.

    One market square residential and one market square commercial. To throw more confusing into the mix the 40 storey residential one on Milam should be called "One Market Square Too"
  5. HoustonIsHome
    At least it has Windows on the ground floor instead of blank walls or vine covered walls

    With five residentials directly on Pease (two skyhouses, a Houston House, Camden and Leon) plus two residentials just a block away (Allied and Alliance) Pease may become quite the next "it" corridor. The two blocks north of Pease on either side of Caroline might be prime property in a few years. They are both mainly surface lots with a uhaul occupying a quarter of the lot west of Caroline and a Bail Bonds occupying 1/4 of the one on the east. I can see the uhaul sticking firm, but the bailbonds might be unwelcome company for residents in seven overpriced residential buildings and the co cathedral. either of those two lots would be great for a building/ buildings that would finally incorporate that elusive major grocery store. Just realized how uninspiring Pease is. Nothing really special from 59 all the way to Louisiana. Lots of opportunity there

    The more unsightly aspect of skyhouse is the garage. So big and plain looking. It takes up a bit more of the lot than the actual tower.

    That was the very block I have been wondering why its still empty. I have proposed a supertall there in the past and alternatively I mentioned including the blocks to the south of it to be a great place to build a bigger, better aquarium. Now I have been thinking that a supertall might be better suited north of there to be amongst all the new development north of Dallas. Then again maybe a supertall on that site would spur development further to the south. The Camden development is only a few blocks south.

    Shid then lets just start a new one. Then again, lets not. Maybe a new group of tunnel-less buildings would create a more vibrant downtown

    the 16 storey garage has a crane too

    I wish Esperson was right on the waterfront. Probably where spaghetti warehouse is. I'm gonna start a petition to move spaghetti warehouse to east downtown, move esperson to where spaghetti warehouse is and then build a supertall on the site of the Espersons.

    If a supertall is going to mixed use then 5 allen would be a crappy spot for it. I would prefer it east of main and north of Dallas. Preferably a few blocks away from discovery green
  13. HoustonIsHome
    Nothing fascinating about either building. At least we are getting 608 main. International tower would be icing. Especially if it's a taller version
  14. HoustonIsHome
    I made that sane remark months ago. In fact it was double. Skyhouse isn't very attractive in my opinion, but I said I would take 20 of them downtown if they were eating up empty lots
  15. HoustonIsHome
    Nope, its on Travis
  16. HoustonIsHome
    Yep, that's the gap in the canyon I was talking about. I am not a fan if the location of this plaza. Oh well.
  17. HoustonIsHome
    Exciting times we are living in. In 14 years living here I have not been able to experience all this development so close to each other. MST two blocks from Hine. Icing on the cake world be international tower starting next month.
  18. HoustonIsHome
    That would be a great way to expand the shopping experience
  19. HoustonIsHome
    Well I kind of stretched the amenities based on location, but these buildings are only a block apart so my better amenities comment didn't hold up either way. They are not a mile apart so Hines being right at the train station or the bars and stuff on main isn't really that much of a plus in the amenities department. I didn't really mean amenities in the building itself as I can't recall what hines is supposed to offer.
  20. HoustonIsHome
    Hines tower is 8 storeys shorter maybe it will be completed quicker and be preleased quicker since it has better amenities, better looking neighbors and right on main.
  21. HoustonIsHome
    Yay!!

    Saying the EC will rival TMC and Uptown is like saying the buildings in Houston will rival downtown chicago. Yes, Houston has a lot of tall buildings that I'd you add them up they may amount to something approximately close to Chicago, but why compare 60 miles of skyline to 6 and then say they are both apples. Downtown is downtown, it has no match. TMC is TMC, it had no match. Uptown, EC, Westchase, Greenspoint, and the rest are a dime a dozen. These can spring up in ten years anywhere abd look and feel the same. TMC and DT has unrivalled character that no where she in Texas confess close to.
  23. HoustonIsHome
    Uptown East looks like a whole other city.
  24. HoustonIsHome
    TMC is unique, doubt anywhere in Texas will match this density in Texas. They build very close together with minimal open space. The EC builds more like Uptown but more stretched out. The EC has a long way to catch up with Uptown and will not match the pattern of TMC
  25. HoustonIsHome
    Walking downtown in the summer really isnt as horrible under the covered sidewalks. Why don't they building more of those
