  1. unfortunately, hines has no obligation to make a contribution to the synergistic urban fabric of downtown houston. the bottom line is.....well, the bottom line. it is the suck, but it is true.
  2. hello gorgeous! (looking outside...opening windows)

  3. agreed, but i'm not sure it's so much a pity party for the thread as a misconception that inactivity for a thread doesn't necessarily mean the thread isn't being watched or read. .....and as i said earlier in the thread....it's great weather lately....not too many of us spending too much time in front of a pc.
  4. good see montrose1100 checkin' in every now then! seems like we've known you forever! it seems their is plenty of positive expectation for new projects right now. i hope it continues. by observing haif these last few years, we can be sure that expectation and the patience that reality requires will continue to bring frustration (and joy) for many of us.
  5. ....ummm, have you been outside lately? i can't find anyone i do not already have plans with, cuz everybody is OUT and ABOUT! ......and it's only 20 stories. if it were 40 or so, we'd be tearing up the phones checkin' in.
  6. springwoods is underway..........other studies are underway for the exxon site connected to springwoods. i do not think the tree removal is for the exxon site specifically.
  7. 2 waterway is next door to 4 waterway and at the corner of woodloch forest and lake robbins. i think it is planned to be under 10 stories. it will have retail at street level.
  8. so the ballet owned the other half of the block, sold it with the expectation of parking via a condo developer. condo developer out, now atlanta based bank owns what is now surface parking. i wonder what will become of the lot.
  9. ooohh....basketball. the media keeps saying "final four" like i should know what it is....

  10. what is this "final four".........

  11. i think what they mean is that the architecture is plain. it's clean, sleek, but nothing new, certainly nothing too interesting. that being said, it is cool to think that the woodlands "skyline" is growing outside of town center. the simcity player in me is already connecting the commercially zoned areas between town center, shenandoah and the research forest. the crane at aon/hewitt (research forest) is not too far from memorial hermann's crane for new six or seven story building (shenandoah). a crane recently came down at the luxury senior community on the waterway (town center/eastshore) and a crane at 2 waterway square may be in the works (town center/waterway square). to see three cranes up in such a small area is exciting. even though the architecture leaves much to be desired, it's fun to watch it be constructed. did i just hyperventilate?
  12. by the way, there is a crane up in the aon/hewitt campus. i can see it from waterway square area buildings and a little bit from research forest.
  13. i read recently that 4 waterway square is more than 70% leased and there's buzz about 2 waterway square moving forward.
  14. please refrain from personal attacks. posts have been removed that do not meet guidelines. thank keith
  15. .........i'd still like a design committee for specific areas of town, like downtown, but nothing specifically authoritarian.
  16. this will be visible from lake woodlands bridge and somewhat from research forest, right?
  17. at the woodlands mall, rockfish is out, mi cocina of dallas is in. http://culturemap.com/newsdetail/01-24-11-dallas-high-end-mi-cocina-makes-a-tex-mex-stand-in-houston/
  18. merry christmas haifers!

  19. i noticed your first post. welcome to the fray! the more the merrier.

    regards,

    keith

  20. The six-story building will be connected to UH's College of Optometry at the corner of Wheeler Avenue and Calhoun Road. full story
  21. that just hurts to look at...........can we go back to the parking lot?
  22. (sigh) i wonder if the springwoods village announcement has set other potential developments in motion? 4 waterway avenue isn't full. is there demand for more office space in the woodlands area right now? i guess the site plan showing up on zc doesn't necessarily mean anything is happening soon.
  23. forgive, if this was mentioned earlier in the thread: does anyone know if/what retail will be on the ground level?
