    In addition, other cities also have sprawl: DFW, Kansas City, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Indianapolis,LA. All had the great majority of their metro growth and design after the War when families were larger, folks purchased automobiles and wanted to live in single family houses. It's less expensive and roomier to live in the suburbs when you have children to raise. No children or just one child, the city may be more affordable.

    Perhaps one stake for the "International Tower" (International Garage?) adjacent to this building.

    The TMC3 portion is very impressive.

    You're right. Finally see downtown as it is not as it was 4 years ago. It looks great.

    Amazing growth. Great photo. We must have one of the largest, if not the largest "edge cities" in the USA.

    My daughter loved going there. I couldn't stand the place. Maybe that's why my daughters liked it so much.

    The TMC website depicts a 'double helix" of sorts ( not to be too pedantic, but it is lacking all the Nitrogenous bases having only the sugar phosphate backbone). Okay that was pedantic, nevertheless there is a sort of double helix depicted. So what is this about no double helix?

    I thought someone stuck a fork in this one. It's been done for some time.

    Well I hope you all who carry on about "extending the skyline" ( like me) are happy. With this and all the planned construction in Midtown it's going to look amazing.

    Some of those folks are going to have a great nighttime view of the skyline. Same for the apartments going up on the east side of 288. a little scotch, music, and great view.

    We can call the areas with high concentrations of homeless NoDough as august 948 suggests and the areas with the big banks MoDo, and areas that flood as LoDo. I especially like the suggestion of DoDo.

    One ugly parking garage down and then another not quite as ugly parking garage goes up, like an ugly wart. I also hope they build what they said they will, but am getting a bad feeling about this. I try to ignore it while eating gyros and look at the Hines buildings going up.

    American Meteorological Society July 2018, article by Philip Klotzbach et al. No increase in US Landfalling hurricane frequency nor intensity since the 1880's. Vecchi and Knutson Geophysical Fluid Dynamic Laboratory, NOAA: No increase in Atlantic Tropical Storms from 1878 to 2006. So what has increased? Huge population growth, increase property loss, and increase media coverage.

    The previously named District II is planned for 631 feet in height. Extapolating from the Marriott Marquis this hotel would be around 670 to 680 feet. Can't imagine this is a major problem.

    I worked as a biomedical researcher for several years at UT Med- Houston. There are zillions of research labs spread out throughout the TMC. I am somewhat confused about how this one will be set up. Are there going to be a smattering of labs from UT Med, MD Anderson, Baylor Med, the Institute for Molecular Med, Texas A&M etc etc? I suppose the research will be focused on specific areas. Anyone know?

    Is this hotel part of the "five highrises" Caydon has planned? Anyone know approximately when groundbreaking is to occur.

    Must be your first time in the Tardis. It can throw your sense of years and even centuries off. Relax, your hypothalamus will reset everything back to "normal".

    You are correct TheSirDingle. If The District construction goes according to plan, The Preston will hold the title for a short period of time before it is overtaken by The District at 82 feet greater. The Preston will be the tallest downtown but not in the city. Glory is sometimes short lived.

    Did sound worrisome and confusing since the activity on the site didn't connect with "pull out" which is what I thought when I read the post.

    My impression is that Houston used to be fairly "recession proof"in years past. We had recessions in the 50's and 70's which did not effect the city much in terms of growth. The Oil bust effected Houston, but not the country as a whole. I don't believe the national recession of the early 90's had much impact here. My point is recessions can be national or regional, and in the past it is the regional recessions which have impacted us the most. So I haven't a clue what a national recession would cause here.

    Modesty perhaps?

    Was this a worker?

    I worked at TMC for 22 years. One advantage the UH Med School will most likely have in its location, is much better parking. Parking at TMC is expensive and if your cheapskate like me, a long walk.

    My dream has been for a meteor to crash into it at 3:00 am when no one is around and it all tumbles down into a very neat pile. No gets hurt. No traffic blocked. Don't really expect that to happen, but heck, one can dream.

    You are right. She is quite taller.
