Gulfgate Center At 3111 Woodridge Dr.
GovernorAggie replied to stolitx's topic in EaDo, the East End, and East Houston
Thanks for the info. With that in mind, I guess it says a lot about the material if it lasted this long. I look forward to having it back, because that made that location pretty unique to me--almost festive- 239 replies

A side note on the HEB--what happened to the big tent covering? It didn't look damaged before they removed it--but now it looks stonehenge-esque with the columns and wires remaining.- 239 replies

GreenStreet: Mixed-Use Development At 1201 Fannin St.
GovernorAggie replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
Back on topic... T-Minus 2 months or so until Pavilions opens. -
I don't think it's practically in Midtown. Unless Heritage Tower and 3 Allen are considered Midtown. This tower is very much downtown and like swtsig said, would dramatically alter all the western views of the skyline, including northwest from the I-45/I-10 interchange, due west from I-10, Memorial, and Allen, and southwest from 59.

That's true. He leased the block from Hakeem Olajuwon. I can't remember the length of time, but it's nothing like the 999(!) year lease that UP and BNSF have on the Causeway railroad bridge. -

KD Aubert, I think. She was also in "Friday after Next" and was one of the Fanta girls. "Wanna Fanta, don't you wanna?" -
Maybe one of the more economically-gifted HAIFers can answer this...does the feasibility of Five Allen Center increase the longer that Six Houston Center is delayed? Or is there no connection?

GreenStreet: Mixed-Use Development At 1201 Fannin St.
GovernorAggie replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
None taken. I did say that I was daydreaming. By the way, I think that a comparison with Charlotte is more fair than we may think, especially given its current size. The level of activity in their downtown alone would even make big 'ol Houston proud if we had that activity regionwide. That's not to say that our activity isn't also great, because it is. -
GreenStreet: Mixed-Use Development At 1201 Fannin St.
GovernorAggie replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
There was probably a day when that was a valid statement. But today's Houston is, IMO, a gun-shy shell of the bravado-filled town that it once was. We've gone from the Magnolia City to the Space City to the Cost-Benefit Analysis Capital of the World. Comparisons with Kansas City, definitely Charlotte, and maybe even Norfolk are valid for Houston. Maybe what we should be saying is, "You actually think comparing KC to Houston is a good thing?" I know I may get sliced and diced as a financially irresponsible, impractical, and unrealistic person with my sentiments, but I can daydream can't I? -
Hess Tower: Office Skyscraper At 1501 McKinney St.
GovernorAggie replied to Ethanra's topic in Downtown
The rendering may be a little old, but I think it would be cool to have the backside (northern face) of the building up here on HAIF for everyone. The only problem is that I can't upload the pic at the moment, but here's their brocure if someone wants to. It's worth a look! http://www.discoverytowerhouston.com/disco...er_brochure.pdf The north-facing side is on page 14 of 15. Like I said, it's an older image, but I think it gives a good idea of what the "other" side of the building will look like.- 1,031 replies

I think it means they have four months to get them up, since the opening is in four months. This is great! -

GovernorAggie replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
Wow. Totally. Exhausting. This discussion belongs in "Other Houston" not HP. Oh by the way people, don't forget that Uptown is also subsidized and has been for a long time by the State and City. There, I got my jab in there too. -

GreenStreet: Mixed-Use Development At 1201 Fannin St.
GovernorAggie replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
My two cents on the screens...I think they would be best on the blank walls along Dallas. Each of the buildings seem to have large blank walls. Main Street will still have buzz from the view of the synergy of lights and sounds within and people walking about the breezeway within the HP. -

Starting with nate's! lol, j/k Seriously, it's a crying shame that everything in Houston seems to come down to "how much money can be made off this". Oh well, such is life in my adopted hometown.
