  1. Thanks for the info. I can't even imagine the tax burden of this property which is generating zero income.
  2. I agree. I live right down the street from Transco or Williams tower and it's pretty cool to be able to see it in most of the city and see pretty much right where I live.
  3. Is anything ever going to be built on that giant vacant lot across the street?
  4. It was designed to have as much natural light coming in from the ceiling to make the inside bright and airy. How the building is perceived by visitors was very much a concern.
  5. I would be pretty funny if the residents of Bellaire killed this only for the buildings to stay abandoned and become filled with squatters and other vagrants.
  6. A 90.5% occupancy rate with an average of over a $1 a square foot premium compared the the rest of town must sound pretty enticing to developers.
  7. Some of the lots across the street are like $20. I park in a grange 3-4 blocks from the park for $10. This is way too far from the park for people to use it for the game, just simple price gouging.
  8. I'm referring to the building that this thread is dedicated to. You are absolutely right, this needs to be done right and will be one of Houston's signature buildings.
  9. The finishes on a building like this take a long time because they have to be perfect. That's why homes and apartments have textured walls and ceilings to cover up shoddy craftsmanship where as a building like this would not be okay with that. Plus I drove by last night and yeah I can totally see why I will be over a year to completion. The interior is still just exposed beams.
  10. Hey you can see my apartment in that rendering.
  11. This picture really epitomizes our unique zoning or lack there of.
  12. I recently walked by his condos downtown which I originally thought to be one of his best efforts except the damn thing already needs a power washing. Any vent or window or really any edged corner on the building already had grey streaks coming down from them. I have no idea why he chose white for all his recent buildings exteriors in our climate.
  13. Wow very nice. I'm sure the River Oaks district loves having all of these high rises going up next to it packing in a bunch of wealthy people with in walking distance.
  14. They specifically wanted to serve the third ward community. It's a lot easier to serve the surrounding community when you are in it physically. Plus the med center is only 3.5 miles away it's not like that's an impossible distance to cover in this day an age.
  15. From what I've heard 50 stories is a threshold where price per floor drastically increases.
  16. I wonder what will be on the roof of the shorter side of the building. Looks like the floor on the taller portion of the tower that is on the same level has taller ceilings and different glass. Does anyone know what's going to be up there?
  17. Interesting that they moved the balconies from the south side of the tower to the est side. Much better views that way, I wonder if that was the reasoning.
