  1. I hope you are right.. the trendy stained wood thing will look dated almost immediately unless they do it right. seems to be some brick too.. happy this isn't going to just decay.
  2. This is turning out way better than I expected...
  3. Jesus sell at lot value and let's get something good here... whatever it is.
  4. most wouldn’t survive being removed and the labor cost to get them out would be high. It’s a nice idea though... some things would have a better chance at surviving than others. These materials are best grounded up and used as mulch.
  5. @ekdrm2d1 This is near willow waterhole? I am planning to check out this area this weekend!
  6. The connection to National Street must be pretty recent, correct? I remember riding my bike over there and noticing that it would make a lot of sense if they did connect it.
  7. I really wish they would extend dart to this project. Id even be happy if they could connect Dart to White to better the grid. I find the neighborhood benefits from the grid and there will be a lot of pedestrians and dog walkers that wont want to use Edwards since it is becoming a major street. I also wonder about access to the leftover land that doesn't seem to be accessible without some additional street work.
  8. I hope you are right. But I don't think it will be much different... The base will be the same either way and the tower will likely need to jive in glass color and style.
  9. Has anyone noticed any progress on this? https://www.virtualbx.com/feature-story/houston-historic-12-story-state-national-bldg-converting-to-moxy-hotel-by-marriott/
  10. This would definitely be an improvement, though not very Heights-like. Gives me an uptown Dallas vibe for some reason. I am curious if the Heights would be better off diversifying architectural styles or if it should try to strictly adhere to an older / more mature architectural style. I think this building would be fine and activate a bit more street life starting down at Yale. It would be nice to see a pedestrian friendly mini 'downtown' between Yale and Shepard.
  11. wish we had some pictures of the front / inside post renovation.
  12. I wish Kaldis would really invest in their landscaping... I worked with them before and it didn't seem like a priority...
  13. I am curious how they will end up developing the land around the Embassy Suites... Seems challenging and expensive...
  14. I wonder what would happen to the retail at the bottom of this if the tower does start. My hope is they guise the garage better than it is now... Its rough looking, especially in such a desired area.
  15. every little bit counts... @CREguy13 If you were to guess, what is the most likely downtown office to start construction - Houston Center 6, or 1 Market Square / International Tower...
  16. I have tried that one too! those fries are awful. I did try one closer to SMU and the burgers were a bit better. Moral of the story... don't go to the Irving one. hah!

    Where Am I?

    Park for Humans and Dogs, old sixth ward!
  18. That is silly, it is almost fully leased. Only space open is top floor... which will likely be some sort of service retail. huge apartment nearby means ton of foot traffic. Will be fine.
  19. Visit this website. Its an awesome walk through of the project! http://www.innovationtowertmc.com/
