SOG? and yeah I was thinking the rain probably was hurting the time schedule. 

Before these things get to the first floor, they sure take forever. 

Does anyone else looks at downtown from one of the cams, and literally get excited thinking about how much more vibrant and lively it will be in say 5 years once all this stuff is built and the GFR's are established? 

It would be pretty sick to work and live here, or would it

I agree with the people that say this will take 10 years or more to be built out fully, but I do expect it to be pretty impressive based off location and the price they had to pay to get it. 

I'm not sure that the owners of block 334 are looking further than the exact number of months that the rent will pay off the note.  

Why would they go through all the trouble of building the complex just to break even?

It truly is a lost lake

Its odd looking down AVA with all these new developments that were not there up until last year. 

A very attractive building with a pretty good presence, 

Wow this is going to look amazing. 

Majestic Metro is not on the same block as the Chron building. 

On another note

Complete snoozefest. Am I the only one who gets annoyed hearing a monotone voice with a slight lisp saying "Houston" as if it were a name drop a million times with fun facts found in tourist video from 10 years ago?

No?

Why did I expect more? Trick question. Conventions are lame. Gun Show, Boat Show, Car Show, Wedding Expo, yawn yawn yawn. I've worked some and I've been to more than I'd like to admit. Welcome to the late 90's Houston. We did it!

(Yeah I know some business expos are slightly more interesting if you're interested in your industry, but I don't fancy those either).

They are for business not necessarily entertainment.

I spy a Tom Ford sign

I would love to think that would happen but it wont anytime soon. 

Wow thats far off. 

Do we have a good render for this?

I'd sure hope they would be building after 10 people already bought units. Does anyone know what happens if something like this were to be canceled, what would happen to those peoples money?  

Out of the east Texas forest emerges a metropolis.   

What building was this taken from?

Very nice to see stuff on the other side of the freeway, looks nice too. 

The the market seems very cool, but man those women in the catalog   

Wow this is exactly what midtown needs right now. Hope they keep the design. 

I thought the 11,000 square foot one in 2727 Kirby was about 8-9,000,000 when it was for sale. 

Yeah the homeless problem is a pretty big deal downtown. I drove down there yesterday and even though we are all optimistic about the downtown living incentive (or what ever its technical name is) I can see people having a hard time wanting to move there with all the homeless, and could really hurt retail if no one want to be on the streets.

On another note has anyone noticed how the number of homeless has increased dramatically across the street from Memorial Herman, there must be at least 40+ that hang around that statue.
