    Jax, I'd like to know the same thing, so hopefully we can get an answer from someone in the field on this. I would presume this would be used a few months before construction starts, but who knows. Is there anyone who has knowledge/experience with mid/high rise development that can give an overview of the soil-testing process??
  2. JWW
    Anyone know?

    Question about Phase I and Phase II - what other stakeholders TYPICALLY or ROUTINELY require the first or both in a development? (permitting, lending, etc. ) I will repost this in the Development and Real Estate thread if anyone can answer there

    I second that entire post.

    I also do not agree with "The" being used. I do not like the favortism shown and would like that article removed from the letter. However, it sure seems favortism is shown when tax and other financial incentives are given to different developers for all kinds of reasons, including developing in government-preferred areas of town. I'd take the "the" out but I can deal with the rest of this. Regarding Davis, he has spoken his piece about many officials in government currently and recently out of power. Yes, he is very smart, but I actually think he'd prefer any high government official going on about a downtown residential development just to get people down to the area to look and when they find out the rent is $2.20, $2.15 a ft or whatever it will be, the prospective renters might look at other developments in downtown (Hogg, etc.).

    The article and the news yesterday stated this: White said the letter was part of a longstanding agreement he made with Finger to promote the 37-story tower, which is scheduled to open in March.

    Sure it's not...but your hypothesis is not the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard....the project surprises me, at least Someone needs to get appointed to the Planning Commission....

    Redstone is looking for mezzanine financing for residential?

    Can you post this in the Development and Real Estate topic under going up so others who dont' read about this project in particular can still give us an answer how KBR "undid" the deal? See above - please post that in Development and Real Estate - I'd really like to hear more answers on your question. Since when is whole foods not anchoring BLVD Place?

    It is great. What a homerun for TrammelCrow/CBRE, especially for recent and current development markets in Houston. Hope they take more risks asap. Wow. Any idea where in OKC? That's huge... Pretty interesting how construction can be altered still at this point of progress. Too bad for architectural reasons but well worth it to entice other completely spec buildings to be built (would presume this development was completely spec) at the current time. Write to Hess for a name change - a change you can believe in .

    Where and when is that meeting/where can I find this info online???

    Would presume this has already been written about but cannot find any topic on this under 'Going Up' so... http://crosstorian.com/southpointe Thoughts?

    Coming from someone who has a desire to develop ultra-luxury residential in the near future, I am finding myself constantly gagging reading advertising like this. The worst I've seen in Houston recently was Turnberry (if the shape/design of the building was not enough of a turnoff, their marketing closed the deal) with lines like "If you don't spend it, your heirs will", complete with man in tuxedo and untied bowtie looking out the window onto 610. Just garbage. I am aware of very, very few people who can 'afford' to live in a 2m+ home in Houston in the RICE AREA that would really be sold by that. The fast $, at least it SEEMS to me, would be in other areas of town. Drove in yesterday. Only report I have is "hope it gets better than this." Yawn. Too bad Ashby guys couldn't have picked up this lot, instead.

    Great, thanks a lot for clearing this up... Warwick Towers, here I come... (joking)

    So an owner of a condo could be forced to sell his unit without his consent? (e.g. - 98 percent of condo association says they will sell to a prospective buyer; the other 2 percent would be forced to sell, as well)
  17. JWW
    Thanks for the information. However, I am specifically curious about an existing, sold and closed condominium building , such as the building on central park south that had been in existence for over a decade when Trump came to buy the building and convert to his Trump Parc or Trump Parc South or Trump Infinity (you can choose the next hyperbolic name for him). If he wants to buy the building that is a condominium, I would think that he would have to either agree to purchase each unit (seems impossible to reasonably do), or maybe reach an agreement with over 50 percent of the voting shares of the condo association to set a price/foot for the purchase of each unit, whether the rest of the unit owners wanted to sell or not? Does this question make sense?
  18. JWW
    Sorry, I meant a buyer buying the entire condominium, not a unit (buying the development, not a condo unit), and did he have to agree with every unit OWNER (not 'buyer') ??
  19. JWW
    Have you read the anticipated % change in traffic due to this redevelopment ? (Would expect that you have)
  20. JWW
    Should be a simple question to answer for many of you : When someone comes to buy a condominium, does the new buyer just have to agree on terms with a majority of the condo association? Does he have to agree with every buyer (seems improbable) ? Does this differ depending on the bylaws of the Condo Association?
  21. JWW
    Definitely will do this. Just prefer to have a PM or super as I tend to ask questions that sales don't seem to answer or are unable to answer many times. Plus it is always nice to not have to be pretend to be interested in moving in.
  22. JWW
    Nice one
  23. JWW
    Thank you for putting that dumb argument down.
  24. JWW
    Does anyone know the PM or a super to get a walkthrough perhaps???
