    Ummm, a lot. what does it being a welcome addition have to do with the design given?

    Acknowledge what? I’m not disputing that you or anyone else is entitled to their opinion? What does that have to do with anything. We’re talking about a small glass box put on top of another small glass box.

    What does being a welcome addition have to do with the mediocre-at-best design?

    Ahh, good answer.

    Why? Considering this is projected to be shorter and smaller, that makes no sense to me

    Im not saying they’re architectural feats. But compared to this rendering, yeah I’d say they are impressive. All the obvious caveats apply with the limited information we have, but this design leaves a lot to be desired. Doesn’t even appear to have the condo components both Dallas and Austin have.

    Rah rah rah Can’t rationalize away how utterly unimpressive that design is.

    It's not even that. Doesn't appear to be Houston First trying to get the W franchise flag. Rather, it looks like some attorney's and other business gave a pitch for their client, Horizon Group/Horizon International Group, to build a W that would be managed by Houston First. The Horizon International Group's website, or lack thereof, is less than inspiring. But who knows.

    Depends on what your definitions of rich and middle class are, along with what sort of development (if any) comes out post-Harvey.

    With the rental market being what it is (and possible being a seller's market for some time), why not make this another residential tower?

    Lawsuit is still pending. The Developer won a decent victory against the Cosmopolitan on an interlocutory appeal back in April (with the Cosmopolitan being forced to pay the Developer's appellate costs). There's a trial setting in November, but with Harvey and the recent vintage of this case (only 2016), chances of it going to trial are slim. However, the legal (as opposed to factual) nature of the claims makes this one ripe for resolution by the judge as opposed to the jury, which can expedite things. There's also always the possibility that this settles before trial.

    The villages on Allen parkway really create a problem. You remove them and you have a nice corridor going from this project straight into downtown. That corridor would be ideal for similar, mixed-use type projects along these lines, and you'd have a nice green belt across the street. Seems like an ideal way to expand downtown/increase urbanization. I understand that the villages have been designated as a historic neighborhood, but my common sense tells me that, if this project gets off the ground, there would have to be a developer willing to work with the city and the villages to relocate the people there to another site by "buying out" (or whatever the appropriate legal term would be) the historic neighborhood qualifier. But I might be wrong. In any event, seems like a really ideal way to connect montrose with downtown.
