Ethiopian 546 should have arrived today. I am surprised nobody talk about it here!

As long as they limit it to skyscraper construction, I'll allow it.  Another 20 million people evacuating the next hurricane would be kind of rough. 

 

 

People in Shanghai don't need to evacuate in typhoon season.

not only skyscrapers, we also need Shanghai subway, highway, maglev, high speed train, airport......

How do you mean it is the same as Terminal D?  Are you saying it will be 10 years before "seeing a dozer on site" for the Terminal D rebuild?

What I was saying is Terminal D project is pushed ahead fast due to high demand from United and foreign airlines... Same for Terminal A. Demand drives everything.

"Planning Stage" means another 10 years before seeing a dozer on site. Same as Terminal D, IAH needs to attract more domestic airlines and routes to push Terminal A rebuilding ahead…

I guess no more hotel on top of it, right?

Like two layers of band aid

So true, and in size comparison, the Amegy Bank HQ dwarfs the La Quinta!

Consultants may refuse to work for Amegy if they arrange them to stay in La Quinta.

Drove by today. Very astonishing. Now it's time to replace the La Quinta

whats the point of posting that pic?

To compare with the HSPVA site. If you don't have a ready to go plan yet, at least make it clean and neat.

Last time I flew United I was leaving Lake Tahoe flying out of Reno and connecting in San Francisco on the way back to Houston. The plane had issues, we had to get off, it was delayed 3 hours, finally got to San Fran, missed the connecting flight and the next available flight to Houston wasn't for like 8 hours, then that flight was delayed 2 hours.... I haven't flown United since...

Anyway, I'm glad 609 is getting leased up.

Any carrier could have delay issues. More flights they have, more delays and complaints there will be.

When ring road longer than a certain length, it will no longer have the "ring road" purpose anymore. Talking about Beijing, I have to say our roads are 100 years behind, both highway and local.

I think they are adding additional lanes.

Is it I-10 or I-45?

Is there anything about the hotel to be built on top of it?

I thought I remembered someone saying this one had an LED lighting effect?

Idk and I might be wrong, but I don't think it is a good idea to have led effect on a residential building…

This corner deserve more towers

the entire building is hideous. What an antricious color scheme with no glass. just pure ugly

The curvature is good to me. Well you will not like all buildings downtown have glass facade, and at any rate, this is Hampton Inn, we should not expect the Marriott quality

Please fly to Medellin direct and ill be the first to buy a ticket

That would be easier, 737 could do it. I was wondering why Avianca not flying Houston from Bogota or Medellin?

I thought South Africa was interested in Houston years ago…

Ethiopian looking at Houston for possible future expansion. I'd be surprised if IAH got the nod over ORD, but it is nice to see another Star carrier looking at Houston.

All I want to see is getting the ugly garage replaced. As soon as possible

I totally agree. How many times we hear lots of city mayors talk about new projects like "it will solve problems for the next 20/30/50 years" but turned to be not enough after 3 or 5 years…

To develop a city, you have to build infrastructures to attract motivation somehow, instead of waiting for chances to come. Don't put all arguments on findings, how much funding you can get, no matter public or private, partially depend on how hard you work on it.

Take a look at highway system and conditions in China, we should feel ashamed.

if you build it, they will come.

so, make it 3 lanes- do it right the first time

Absolutely. The Dillard's site need big big work.

Agreed. Great compliment to the upcoming Saks Fifth Avenue flagship. Something similar or greater is needed on the Neiman Marcus side...a redevelopment of the Dillard's site and lot would be good, incorporating a large hotel. Also, within the Galleria, both Westins could use a gutting and redo. I think the Westins were recently put on the market or sold, but nothings been announced for a while...maybe Westin redos will happen after the ongoing Galleria transformation is done.

I cannot imagine it needs 3 years to finish…

This makes it a tiny tower…

This garage in front at least need to be repainted...

good luck walking to the connecting station on the red line at 10pm. Bunch of homeless people and I have a HPD friend who works that street and says theres tons of street theft on that block

Well,,, 10 pm is usually not safe for any major US city downtown
