    Isn't the Hardy Downtown Extension passing close to this development?

    The skycam was re-positioned a few days ago. Looks great.

    Good comment Monarch. Hadn't considered that, but it makes sense.

    Good luck on this. Tried using Emporis, on the first 19 pages got to over 300 existing or under construction. Thought that was the complete list,but more are listed later. Can't count now maybe later. We have a lot of highrises.

    According to Emporis it is a building 35-100 meters or 12 to 39 stories.I suppose after this it is labeled a skyscraper. I know fire safety folks use a different definition based on how high their ladders reach.

    Citywide or downtown?

    My my, no overweight people, no children, everyone in tip top shape and health, all monochromatic people. Where in Houston does this exist?

    Is this being built in Vulgaria? Everyone appears ghostly and no little people?

    I think the Catalyst will be visible in a few months from this angle. I can see 609 main, the Market sq apartments ( of course), the crane for the Marquis Marriott, and I I believe the crane for the Catalyst. Looking Good.

    Beautiful photo. That area has changed so much. For the better.

    Good Job Triton. Thoroughly enjoy all the photos. Thank you.

    UT-Houston had Ferid Murad on staff at the time of his Nobel prize in medicine and physiology. He had done his "Noble" work elsewhere, at the moment I can't recall where. I think all in all the UT Research campus is a big plus for Houston. Both the SF Bay area and Boston house more than one powerhouse university. So can we. I for one, though being KU through and through will look ill on attempts to weaken U o Houston. It is the University of Houston after all.

    These are great posts. Much good information. Thought U of Chicago was public, turns out it's private. One comment, being a KU man I have no dog in this fight. Nevertheless regardless of feelings the facts are if UT wants to build this campus they are going to do it. They have the muscle in all its permutations to pull this off. If UT puts their mind to it , it is a fait accompli.

    Many of you loathe the Pierce Elevated. Personally I have no hatred or love toward it. The area I find awful is the freeways and jails at the confluence of White Oak and Buffalo Bayou. This area could have been a beautiful park area. What a lost oppurtunity. Thank God for the fixing up of Buffalo Bayou. They have done a beautiful job.

    I wonder why the newly paved parking lot is a backward 7. Seems odd. Why don't they pave the entire lot?

    When you mentioned a cow path I thought of Oxford U which is named after a town where cows used to cross a stream. I'm sure Dallas street becomes a stream every so often after one of our rains. I wish several pubs would open downtown. Be nice. Bit of Britain. Civilized, old chap.
  17. Twinsanity02
    Maybe Dallas Street name could be changed to Ox Ford Street.
  18. Twinsanity02
    Is the street in the picture down to one lane? p.s Great photo

    Yes it is disappointing, but we are getting the Catalyst, the Alexan downtown, and the Crawford apartments ( and hopefully the Southwestern tower). This all will eventually be filled. I think investors are worried of being burned. I suspect we have to wait for oil prices to rise.

    Triton I hope, I hope you are correct. Just joking, but maybe the exec is just tempermental and was having a bad day when Bobruss spoke with him and will lighten up later. Stranger things happen.
  21. Twinsanity02
    Bobruss says he talked to one of their execs, and they were halting the project for the time being, but planned on building "the other project" whatever that means. The adjacent lot is suppose to have a 7 story apartment built by an entirely different company, so I do not know what the exec meant by the "other project" unless he is referring to the Catalyst which is already under construction.
  22. Twinsanity02
    Well I guess that's it for now. On to other areas.
  23. Twinsanity02
    Anyone know what is happening on this block? It appears they have paved 1/3rd of the western part of the block. I know they plan on having part of the block as a surface lot and the remainder as a 24 story apartment. I was under the impression that groundbreaking is scheduled in the next few weeks. Is this still on?
  24. Twinsanity02
    Love the angles on this building. Reminds me of the Pennzoil towers nearby.
  25. Twinsanity02
    Love the photo. Imagine a couple more apartment/condos in that area. Waiting on the Fairfield
