    It's amazing grass can grow in the wilderness, being so needy and all.
  2. Avossos
    Well, I am hoping its a sign of future activity 😗

    Does this mean the apartments / office are going to be breaking ground soon? In Sawyer yards...

    I am for both projects, but also for different reasons: HSR - Reducing the need for car travel between Houston and Dallas / plus greater economic connectivity / shortened travel time. i45 - Removing more above ground freeway / park caps / improved infrastructure / a better looking core Each have positives and negatives. However both are a slam dunk IMO.

    It seemed too good to be true, even before the economy was hit and the pandemic happened... Love for this side of midtown will have to wait.

    Its like wearing a wig when you can have real hair.... an analogy: A wig may look good, but it is really seen as a preferable choice to real hair. Turf is one step closer to fake plants, fake trees, fake rocks... Parks, in my mind, should be about nature... Not a manicured faux nature that is just more plastic.

    6-7 more floors to go plus crown (at most 4 floors high?)
  8. Avossos
    no excuse to use artificial turf here. I hope logic prevails and normal park Bermuda is used.
  9. Avossos
    if this picture is correct, they have about 7 more floors to go until they reach the start of the crown.

    lets kick this off... I want to see another tower rise!

    same - I don’t want a reminder of an old freeway with a dead space underneath it

    im confused by this. It seems like a very large piece.... does it drain water? Those skylights could double as drains into the basement... yikes
  13. Avossos
    Here is what I️ think I️ know... the large green space is divided in half (near half?) and there will be an office off sawyer and a multi family next to buff brew

    I️ think everyone who is critical of the location needs to take a deep breath of Houston air. For those who aren’t paying attention, this span of Houston from Lawndale to Hobby is becoming considerably more attractive. Some big investments are happening. this area in 15 years won’t feel so ‘odd’. There were many factors in this and I️ think this will be good in the long term.

    I think this is my point. Kind of surprised they are highlighting this difference even more. Maybe it will be better in person, but it feels a little overwhelming to have both stone materials in this building. While I think i prefer the gray, i would have chosen 1 stone, over 2 - for the whole building, whichever stone that was.
  16. Avossos
    so.... the “original part” has brown granite, and the “new” part has rough gray granite? I think that feels a little too forced... I’d of preferred the brown all the way around. Just an opinion.

    This makes me sick. That bridge was such an important connector.

    Curious - Does this mean I can build a garage off the alley that is right on the alley if there is no neighboring garage behind it? That would be cool.

    I don't feel bad for him. He didn't have to do it.

    If you've been by here lately, I have to tell you. It is other-worldly... SO MUCH activity! I lived in the allen house 7 years ago and know that land sat there for years just idle... So many boots on the ground / cranes / traffic guards / construction crews / noises. This area will be unrecognizable. I always new this area was going to be special.. but to see multiple companies all committed to ongoing projects at the same time is amazing, especially considering how this land was treating not that long ago.

    Where Am I?

    Did you have pink socks on? I saw someone taking pics and was on a bike and i thought it may be you.

    I am glad since it is so prominent. Pet Peeve though... wood looking tile as an exterior surface... You want the wall of the building to look like floor? yuck.
  24. Avossos
    I can't wait to see this come alive with activity! Also I am waiting for the front curb and sidewalk redo. I find it very important to have a good pedestrian and street presence. Currently the curb and sidewalk is a mess.

    nooo
