    If this goes well, it is going to be SWEET! I can see it now...mid rise retail with apartments/lofts facing Post Oak....and other stuff behind it!

    Gunspoint would be a better bet for revitalization, though, since it is located near those offices and such.

    Was the Chrysler Firepower there?

    He meant income. There is this ONE zip code in Downtown Houston where the average income is like 700,000. This is because some rich dude or something lives in one of the lofts there. Also, the homes in River Oaks may be more expensive, but when they rate it by wealth, that part of memorial may have a higher median value, because many homes in the river Oaks area are relatively inexpensive (under 500,000) and this may cancel out the UBER expensive homes. The median for Piney Point is around 700,000 something.

    Is that the Da'Wah Center? I think that is owned by Hakeem Olajuwon. So...did you make your decision yet?

    If anyone wants to know what my source is, it is "Phillip Johnson" by Peter Balke, published by Birkenhauser, 1996. It is a Studio paperback.

    I have a PJ book that says that he copied someone else because "architectural schools are usually criticized to the extreme, and this can damage the reputation of the architect". Therefore, if anytone picks on this design, they are picking on the original designer, and not him. Hehehehe....

    I remember that someone made a quote that said "Homosexuality was invented so men could be creative,and not have the burden of a wife and children".

    Actually, SLTS was inspired by Reston, VA.

    Don't forget the Hines college of Architecture at UofH.

    This is sad. Now, we can think of the Williams tower as a shining beacon of a monument to him!

    Maybe he owns some farm land 50 miles from downtown he wants to sell, and a developer will snatch it up once the GP passes nearby.

    For those who dont like to open PDFs: Im not sure if that is going to be it, though. Will it be taller than The Spires?

    The Chronicle.

    I am glad these things are both brick and for ownership. This will be a great change from the traditional faux stucco rentals, like the Calais or Post.

    Not bad at all!
