  1. Ah so this is cle... Prob the hottest spot in town right now. Exact same crew as roak.
  2. No lie I could see myself jumping into lost lake after a long ride.
  3. that would be interesting if true. supposedly BP is pushing for an Intercontinental in the Republic Square development PMRG is putting together.
  4. ya that's definitely a downgrade. the cornices are so damn cheesy... who in the world likes that stuff??
  5. this is the proposal from the israeli group, i believe.... man those would've been quite impressive at that location.
  6. That group is committed to rehabbing and restoring historic buildings... I just hope they can make a boutique hotel work as I think that is an awesome idea.
  7. Yup this is exactly what houston needs. Agreed with BFS.... This is what needs to happen to the post office site. If they could develop a similar concept on a grander/denser scale AND seamlessly connect it to buffalo bayou park Houston would have a true world class market.
  8. There are significant tenants negotiating for large chunks of space at both 609 and Capitol tower. Distinct possibility nothing comes of it but they're advanced discussions.
  9. i spent a fair amount of time near the convention center and ballpark this weekend (#crushcity) and the sheer volume of construction occurring in that area is astounding. gives austin a run for its money in terms of construction density.
  10. i've mentioned this before but there is another 5-star flag who has partnered up with a premiere developer working on a hotel/residential tower adjacent to ROD. tillman is also courting an upper tier flag although rumor has it another uptown property/developer is courting the same flag so who knows.
  11. i've heard Brioni has pulled out. btw if RODII happens as well as the other major hotel/mixed use tower i mentioned earlier we would be looking at some serious height added to this area. the transformation of westcreek in a few short years would be nothing short of remarkable.
  12. if marlowe has the presales they'll kick off - not worried about that. i was told that TC's tower was moving forward a couple of months ago but we all know how these things go - 40-stories is a big project in a "slowing" market so no one should be shocked if they are waiting it out awhile longer. in addition, almost every project gets delayed in some capacity so again it shouldn't come as even a little surprise here.
  13. not digging the design... looks haphazardly put together.
  14. is that not obviously what happened?
  15. really liking the brick as well... this has a very timeless look to it. hopefully they still intend on putting the vertical sign on the corner as well as i think that is a nice touch.
  16. this is an awesome looking building. a part of me likes that it stands out so much since it's pretty much alone in that area but i think i'd prefer it more in a denser or even just different area. either in uptown near 610 or along allen parkway/memorial. regardless it is a great looking tower.
  17. Coincedentally enough deed restrictions very recently killed another hotel/res tower in uptown.
  18. There is a very large, high profile luxury hotel flag kicking tires near westcreek on a mixed use tower but not at the same location as the earlier renderings I don't think. Lots of hotels kicking tires....
  19. tenants are always moving around.
