    The height of some of these developments are getting taller. Pretty soon one of these towers will match the height of Williams tower.

    I think it's a great concept. The inner loop is already crowded as is and the burbs bring much traffic.

    So when are they opening for residence to move in...Sept 2018. lol

    It is where King's Flea Market used to be located.

    Dan Patrick doesn't run Houston. I wonder what Houston put in proposal. Why are they mum on this? I'd be happy if Generation Park got it as well. Either way East River will be developed regardless.

    We have more space and available land. Bezos will come back home.

    "Business officials agree Houston looks to be a good choice for the corporate giant to set up its second headquarters; among other benefits, the city’s proximity to Austin could attract tech talent. Houston offers a growing talent pool of young professionals with several universities, colleges and tech trade schools in town – a check for Amazon’s search for locations meant to “attract and retain strong technical talent.” Houston additionally well exceeds the minimum population requirement of 1 million outlined by Amazon as one of its guidelines. The recent growth in population means diversity and talent, and a large workforce to hire from; real estate, though suffering with damage from Harvey, is still favorable, as there is plenty of land and plans to grow in Houston. The city, furthermore, is located close to major airports and airlines, railroads and shipping lines, all modes of transport helpful for Amazon to get its products out more quickly. To make the sell sweeter, Houston is part of Texas’ “business friendly culture” and happy “quality of life,” with the city offering tax breaks to businesses in the area and putting in serious work on things, like parks, cultural institutions and restaurants, in recent years." WE WIN!

    I think Amazon will shock people and pick a city that is not a frontrunner...hopefully Houston!

    They would prefer constant heat because we have AC and pools!

    Amazon HQ2 will come and towers will rise on the east end. H-town skyline will get more density
  14. htownbro
    Makes sense to me. Bring it, Amazon. Houston is ready!
  15. htownbro
    It depends. Prior to Harvey many of these mid and high rises were giving discounts of up to 3 months free rent because of competitive market.

    I love all the redevelopment going on in the 3rd Ward area with TSU and UofH leading the way along with Emancipation Park!

    Due to that recent Harvey flooding event, I suspect high rise living will be more desirable in Houston and more mid and high rise residential towers will pop up everywhere, lol.

    According to this website, here are the potential cities. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/amazon-hq2-cities-location-choices-new-second-headquarters/

    I agree downtown would be the ideal location for Amazon. There would be alot more people living in downtown and there is still alot of space available for a project of this magnitiude. Houston officials should be getting a proposal set up to pitch to Amazon.
  20. htownbro
    Did it flood here?

    Williams Tower looks lonely standing amid all of those mid-rises. Time to add taller towers in this area.

    According to meteorologist Brooks Garner, after 57 years the KHOU station is rendered unusable. They will probably have to build new facility at another location.
  23. htownbro
    You mean Amazon Whole Foods, lol
  24. htownbro
    I say transform it into a big entertainment complex like Marq E Houston. Retail, bars, clubs, concert venue, theater, etc. all with palm trees
