    It would be so much better to take the River Oaks Country Club. More central location that is already heavily visited and is near the arboretum. But as others have said, the River Oaks folks have enough cash laying around to hold it up in court. It is much easier to take from the poor.

    It is a shame this didn't stick with the original design. His obsession with white stucco and no clue how to hid a podium ruin so many of his projects.

    Here are other Tradition Living properties http://www.traditionseniorliving.com/houston.html

    There are a bunch of Floyds in the Denver area

    For a guy that likes to provide high end living, he builds the worst podiums in the city. It bothers me working in Uptown and having to stare at the giant white blocks every way I look. He is obsessed with white stucco.

    Incredible. If these two new towers end up as tall as the FAA filings, this should be a huge focal point on the skyline. Caydon is a gamechanger.

    I am looking at buying in this area now. Value will only go up.

    I miss the days when Two Rows was in the Village. Best happy hour on Wednesdays.

    That sounds like a really cool place. Glad I work in the area.

    Pretty cool you got the same info a while back from the job postings but glad to see it confirmed and the renderings.

    A little more info on the new bars and restaurants that will be in the new tower/conference center. http://www.thepostoak.com/restaurants/

    Is part of that absorption because of Harvey and apartments being filled as homes are being rebuilt?

    Dang 550 trucks! Argos is making serious money with that kind of delivery for this project.

    It looks like the set back will not ruin the views too much from the other tower.

    That is what I thought but wasn't sure if any nuggets about construction start dates were in the article. Thanks.

    A more recent article. I don't have a subscription though. https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2018/01/11/500m-mixed-use-near-buffalo-bayou-wooing-these.html

    Aerials from GoogleEarth look fine in the area after Harvey. The only areas with water are two empty lots that look like they were designed to be detention basins. I assume because esports is different than sports. It is competitive video games and drone flying. This market is growing very fast so I am not surprised to see an arena be built. If done right they will be able to host events from across the state, country, and world. I agree the location could be better but the were a couple furniture stores/warehouses here so there is lot of land.

    When you build a tower, conference center, and two high end restaurants but screw up the parking lot.
  19. thatguysly
    Parking isn't great yet but I am sure it will be valet. They are building a fountain wall on the back but it is not complete

    The updated rendering added more plaster to the lower floors. They just put an entire floors of windows in on the current floor where they are working. I drive by daily and construction hasn't slowed.

    I don't have a problem with those apartments. They have been around for decades and in a city that tears everything down, that is rare. They have made them look nice as well. Sure it would be nice to expand downtown forever but with how many other areas can be built on, those apts sure get picked on a lot.

    The property overview map on the website shows a Bill's Bar and Burger of New York City in the property.
  23. thatguysly
    Looking at Google Earth Images from 8/30 right after the storm, you can still see water in the southeast corner of the property and along the southern boundary. I would think this was flooded during the peak of Harvey. You could raise the land say 5 feet and with a parking garage on the base, it wouldn't be a huge deal but I am sure they are cautious.

    The direct corner is an ugly concrete/laydown lot. There is an old structure adjacent to it too.

    I call BS on the views in that rendering. There is no "tower" that looks like that to the left in the photo. Based on the current layout and the layout shown in the original floor plan, the pool will be at ground level on the backside. That will be pretty lame because it backs up to the street between the new tower and a five story wrap. Has the vibes of a pool at a Days Inn.
