    if you want to get butt hurt over comments, of which mine were in no way meant to be taken derogatorily towards Dallas, don't go spouting off with erroneous comments such as this: which again, is factually inaccurate and pretty disingenuous. i merely pointed out that Houston's "urban core", especially its CBD, is almost certainly outpacing Dallas' "urban core" in development and will likely continue to do so.

    i was in downtown dallas just a few weeks ago and noticed lots of development - at the moment i'd say their momentum beats ours in terms of new project announcements (with good reason) but as far as "urban core" existing activity it definitely doesn't outpace houston. downtown houston alone probably has something like 20 major projects under construction - probably triple that when you expand the core to include the "golden triangle" area between CBD, the medical center and uptown/galleria. both cities are making tremendous progress in revitalizing their cores but there's no denying that houston's CBD has and will continue to have a leg up for the reasons stated above. most of the development i noticed in dallas was in the uptown region.

    You should familiarize yourself with houston a little more.

    the city is doing everything it can to force that owner to sell and there apparently have been several recent offers to purchase... we've heard that before but this time there is real impetus with all the renovations slated for the main street corridor over the next year. clearly that thing prints money, though. btw i heard a well known and very familiar developer has won out on the sakowitz building...

    as opposed to the vertical power center in my pants.

    axelrad is badass, enhanced exponentially by their love of new orleans music... i mean, kermit ruffins as the house band? how awesome is that???

    awesome shot. and i'll tell you what, you get some awesome views from the top floor of this building.

    it does - it has 7 true office floors of which 4 of the floor plates are around 65-70K RSF.

    like clockwork. good to know you're plugged in with OM, though... certainly in some very official capacity.

    if that's legit than thank sweet merciful jesus... taco deli is easily my favorite taco joint. OTTO + DONNA SAUCE = WINNING

    chiRopractor/realtor-turnEd real estate Developer, peculiar site, Fanciful amenities, heLipad, lArge-scale proposal, unnamed foreiGn investorS.... sounds legit.

    they want what's best for their alma mater - that much is obvious. there are no real negatives to the proposed UT Research Campus at all.

    the one on west gray... you know, River Oaks Shopping Center.

    i've actually offered the developer a great deal of money to place the dumpster directly in your living room. fingers crossed!

    baanou has been in Houston - it's one of the only local shops to have a presence in ROD.

    if this is in regards to the sakowitz site i've heard that the RFQ wasn't worth the paper it was written on and at least some major developers opted to not even respond.
  18. swtsig
    this is correct - dinerstein closed on it recently. high rise development, unsure of timetable.

    I always found it odd that this building was meant w a relative blasé when the renderings were made public... I think it will be a gorgeous building w an unprecedented presence on 610.

    i'd be really surprised if Ritz was only 10 stories unless it didn't include residences but even then that sounds small. Branded residences, especially one like Ritz, command a very high premium and would make a killing in that location.
  21. swtsig
    ah then yes that's correct. apologies.
  22. swtsig
    Not sure that's correct, urb... The rendering clearly shows a mixed use tower and hotel/mf would clearly be an attractive and logical addition to this development.
  23. swtsig
    you're clinically insane if you think anyone can piece together anything close to 332 acres in the immediate vicinity of TMC. even at astronomical prices that would be hard to achieve. 3.5 miles away and within a stones throw of 610 ain't exactly the "suburbs"
  24. swtsig
    kinda wished they mimicked the undulating glass curtain wall of the phase I office on the larger phase II... it would make for a very visually appealing and cohesive development.
  25. swtsig
    for the prime spots i've heard in excess of $200/sf... insane numbers for houston.
