  1. It will be a parking garage. With the base strength for a tower
  2. Where exactly will this be? Is it just a treehouse / slide?
  3. Doesn't make me feel great that there is a 'trigger'. If they expect a trigger soon, why not start it now? Trigger means, it possibly could never be pulled.
  4. Nate, is the old white building that has the application on it? It seems like the building needs some work / repair
  5. It is a big lot. It could be whatever Edit: some howeowner has said via swamplot said the whole block to Gray (including Gibbs) will be demolished.
  6. Neartown / Montrose is going up! ^^^ Hopefully these structures will have retail as a component of their buildings.
  7. It will be near 610. I am sure we will be able to see it. FYI, this keeps the downtown market open for a RITZ. WestCreek / ROD should get a nice hotel as well.
  8. I think I-10 from downtown to 6-10 interchange will be nice too when the trees grow in. Also, 45 North around the heights is nice because there are sizable trees there too. Observation? Trees in empty spaces around freeways is a win-win. It helps contain and mitigate freeway noise / it beautifies the drive / it recreates Houston's original landscape. Overall, it helps Houston reverse the ugly image. Memorial Drive and Allen Parkway are really beautiful with the bayou improvements.
  9. Feel free to merge: The block with the tall ATT building in it has a construction fence and there has been digging. Looked like heavy equipment is on site. Did we find out what this was?
  10. Thanks for the pic. The impression I get is that it's not permenant. But maybe they are going to do internal (inside) work? The building needs some power washing at the very least.
  11. Good. I hope to see that block continue to improve. Is it best suited for office space or commercial of some sort?
  12. So they are basically putting a plywood fence around the building? If that is the case, it sounds like there is some activity there. If they are boarding up the building itself, then that implies (to me) they are going to let it sit for awhile... BTW, who owns the building? Does Marriott? If we know it sounds like that could help us understand what could go in. Hotel space doesnt seem to make sense since there is a lack of windows.
  13. I hear you. But damn is it annoying to walk around there. It is so difficult with all the drivers and the lack of good sidewalks. I would remove the parking lots completely
  14. Sounds like a defeatist attitude... This is a great spot. people will want to live there.
  15. haha, oh so true. I was going to add that this group seems to be growing and by their resume, it proves it. Interested to see what they come up with. The name 'Lofts' makes me think they are probably going in a new direction. Fun to watch small firms grow. Looks like they are finding success being the Buick to the Cadillac in the areas they build/renovate. I do hope it is a good design.
  16. I respect Randall Davis. His architecture is controversial, but I think it's good the we have the balance of styles. It seems he tries to give a classic vibe to his buildings. Some have turned out better than others. That being said, I am excited to see what he comes up with. He has a vision that's his own. I just hope he maintains a consistent architectural theme.
