    Where does that "Post oak bus thingie" connect to? I wonder if they will build it there? That would tie the city into the "economic development"?

    Nole23: thanks! Good news!

    The kids and concert goers manage must fine now at the existing school. No cover there, right? Nothing since 1982. Must not have rained much back then. My post "art students can't get wet" was a joke. As is the point above. The idea that this small underpass will "help" with traffic is probably true. But, frankly, the underpass is likely too small and cars and vehicles will still line the roads at peek times. i can't wait for this school to open. Hundreds of bright, young, creatives will bring so much energy to downtown every day. Even when it rains. Exciting times.

    Art students can't get wet?

    If this garage stays like this, the developer should be ashamed.

    That car in front is likely stopping by to see if he could rent a storage unit. this building is ugly in Pictures and in person.

    I'm glad you like the place. The developers seemed to do a first rate job on it. does the train blow its whistle at night?

    How is the pool coming along?

    I seems to me that downtown hotel space has exploded over the last 4 years and I just have a nagging sense that it is getting over built. 6 years ago it could be hard to find a room in downtown on any given day. Now, that really doesn't seem to be the case. But, I know zip about the lodging business and what "over built" means.

    Makes me sad to see that.

    Is Houston House fully fire protected (sprinklers) in all units?

    There is something odd with that picture. There are grey streaks in the sky around the edge of the tallest buildings.
  13. UtterlyUrban
    Weird. I wonder what's going on here?
  14. UtterlyUrban
    I like it.

    This is great news! Now we need a few more bike lanes downtown! The lane on Lamar is routinely used. Build it and they will come.
  16. UtterlyUrban
    Woof!

    Keep in mind that a number of factors need to be compared between States when determining the price of housing. California has an ugly income tax. Texas has an ugly real estate tax. Why does that matter? Only The real estate tax shows up more directly in the form of higher rental rates for apartments and lower sales prices for homes. To properly compare housing prices/rents in an income tax State to a Real Estate tax State, one needs to adjust for this difference.

    A quick HAR rental search for downtown highrises show an 800 sq ft one bedroom at $2300 per month and larger units up to $6000 at th new place near market square. OPP did not have any listings. Nor did catalyst. I have previously been told that the rates shown above are "market" for a "new" downtown highrise.
  19. UtterlyUrban
    $2500 may be the "entry" rate. I am told that high rise rentals in downtown start at about $2200 and head up to about $6000 (and possibly more for large units at OPP).

    I am guessing that youare correct. They will likely come with a monthly bill that I would need to mug Bill Gates to afford! Oh well. Maybe I will head over for a tour when they begin leasing in a few years so I can see the views of the "lucky few"!
  21. UtterlyUrban
    Perhaps they are trying not to "interact" with the traffic from event traffic at the TC?

    If this place gets built two things will be true: 1) the east facing units will have an amazing view of the Texas pool across the street and 2) the incredible skyline view from the Texas pool will be significantly cut off. i remain hopeful that this tower gets built!

    How old is Mr. Hines? 90? my pure guess is that he will want to get this one finished before he rests the legacy that he has left for Houston.
  24. UtterlyUrban
    So, I guess that the developer is wanting to keep this facade? Too bad.
  25. UtterlyUrban
    Well, with the landscaping in, they must be getting ready for some move-ins soon?
