It seems pretty dooming if Cinemark has an upcoming theater section and Lower Heights was there, and now is not. I was trying to find an excuse, but I don't think there is one other than the deal is dead. Bummer... I wonder if another theater would jump on this? It is probably tough times for theaters right now. I would love an Alamo Drafthouse / specialty theater here.

The Oliver Sawyer Yards: Multifamily At 2305 Summer St.
Avossos replied to Urbannizer's topic in Going Up!
Lower Heights District made Summer Street much improved. It only needs a little more to connect. Is there a plan to do so?- 119 replies

I have been wondering what is going on as well... definitely some ground work, but i couldn't tell if it seemed more like a building or a parking lot

Hey - I noticed your comment earlier. I see you that you want to re-iterate your dislike for this. While I value your input on these things, I feel like I should add a rebuttal. While this architecture isn't "new" or "modern" or even "cutting edge", it is elegant and classic. While you probably don't agree, I would love to see more architecture in the classic genre... I am of the mindset that celebrates a diverse application of many styles. I love seeing complex masonry. I love seeing stone, tile, brick, and ornate windows constructed together, especially in 2020. I think Rice really spent some money on this building. I think it is an example of a building that will age well and be timeless. I think this building is genuinely great, and was always intended to match the other historic buildings on campus. It was never intended to read as 'new' or 'modern'. anyway - No offense! difference of opinion is OK. I can appreciate all points of view! I might be in the minority on this, but I am thrilled about this one

So this is no longer the 'real estate coworking space' it was intended to be. the Deal Co has purchased and is going to renovate it as office and event space. From talking to the new owners, it seems as the last people really messed this place up. Luckily, I have confidence this will be re-imaged nicely without losing the historic touches that originally made this building special. I am very thankful this has been saved despite the almost complete destruction.

Modera Washington: Multifamily At 2520 Washington Ave.
Avossos replied to skooljunkie's topic in Going Up!
Interesting. Things I like: It is different / takes a risk. There is a good amount of brick. Things I don't like: the many material choices could cheapen this. I hope that is not stucco, but a particle board of some sort or metal sheets that don't look bumpy or deteriorate. If you remember, crockpot mentioned there was a coffee shop going in here. I think that corner looks like a coffee shop... I have seen plenty of apartments go up, but I have never seen a cafe / umbrellas included in a rendering that didn't have GFR included.- 85 replies

Memorial Park At 6501 Memorial Dr.
Avossos replied to themidtownguy's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
What a wonderful park. Can’t wait to see all the phases come together. reminds me of Stanley park in Vancouver. will there be a high end restaurant in the park? -
I think I've mentioned this before. Glad to see they are doing this... It would have been an awful miss if they didn't incorporate the connection. I hope their developments has nice retail / food / drink options off the trail. I always find myself wanting a smoothie or refreshment when on walks or rides.

The Binz building needs some sort of complete renovation. I imagine a hotel will grab it. There was a beautiful building there but I think that is long gone and this is what they built in its place... Agreed.. this building and that block need a ton of help.

Parkside Residences: 43-Story Residential High-Rise At 808 Crawford St.
Avossos replied to largeTEXAS's topic in Downtown
Are you saying the proposed towers in downtown are dead? paused? or just don't count on it... ? I am pleasantly surprised this one is going up... it was a long time in the making, so i think it is the right call to get this started. I would love to see: - 1 Market Square (best location / redesign makes it attractive) - 6 Houston Center - their marketing strategy has been antiquated IMO - offices that pull the trigger and start tend to lease up before these 'proposals' get any attention --- - Marquette Ball Park tower - I think that corner of downtown could be really special - Camden phase 2 - they had spoken about the possibility of getting started on this in the past... --- - Hanover - I know they are busy, but why haven't they been downtown / midtown at all? I guess they are inching closer with BBP development. - Skanska - They might have a transformative development downtown.. I have high hopes- 1,224 replies

Huh? The building is no longer called Chase Tower... Wouldn't it be weird if they had no offices in 600 Travis and its called Chase Tower... then the move offices TO Chase tower, but the tower drops their name!?
