    bingo... i haven't heard "done deal" but it's pretty damn close.

    the plan was to completely blur the line between where the park ends and where discovery tower begins... they're following the same features and landscape architecture to invite the park into discovery tower and vice versa. i think they're doing a tremendous job.

    i'm continuing to hear very bleak outlooks and expectations for this thing... as of today, there are currently ZERO office tenants signed, and supposedly III Forks (which was set to replace Lawry's Steakhouse) has backed out. a prject like this should be generating serious buzz, especially as we near completion, and yet we hear nothing... 3 prime blocks of downtown space and they're struggling to sign a single office tenant and starting to lose retailers. i dont care who you are, that is NOT a positive sign. consider me in the camp of "grand opportunity wasted" as of now.

    i heard that they are planning on putting condos or apts. above? anyone hear anything similar? doesn't seem likely, but it supposedly came from a credible source.

    "as high-end as you can get" is what was said, i believe... or something along those lines. i immediately thought peninsula or mandarin.

    yeah, i noticed that new rendering last week... so that's the westin? i actually really liked the design. cant say there's a building like that in houston.

    condo, retail, "very, very high-end 5-star hotel"

    i've heard the ritz is currently topping out at 53 stories... no confirmation, though. the office building (building #6 i believe) is supposed to be completed by the end of this year we shall see.

    crown included (if you can call it a crown), this building is practically 40 stories.... that is nothing to scoff at.

    i'll agree and say insofar as i know, CBRE acts only as the landlord rep for williams tower... not sure if they've been part of any sale transactions.

    city centre I is already 100% leased, and II is at least 50% (probably more)... if they can find a major tenant for III (and maybe they already have), that's a decent amount of office workers. btw, i definitely agree with yall on the borwnstones... $800K is ridiculously expensive, imo.

    i drive by it once every 2 weeks or so (and can see it out of my office window) and still detest the thing... 35 stories, and that was the best they could do? here's hoping the westin looks nicer (which it will purely by default).
  13. swtsig
    you know, i had 18 stories in my head for whatever reason but you're right... 26 stories is perfectly acceptable considering the (((potential))) supertall going next door.

    no, deyaar owns the adjacent 6 or so acres... i would think a "smaller" building of this stature with retail would actually increase the odds of deyaar moving forward on a large scale supertall, imho. but that's just my uneducated guess. and thanks, lockmat... that's the rendering i wanted to post more than any other but for the life of me couldn't. while i do wish it was several floors taller, i actually like the design. i also think a restaurant facing the lake like that (with direct views of transco) would be a hit, especially if it's right off the richmond/post oak line.

    and here you go... http://www.hicksventures.com/properties.html and my personal favorite: there are better full renderings of the building on the website, i just couldn't copy them. assuming this thing gets done, you'd have to like the chances of the deyaar project going up adjacent... these projects + rail will completely transform this southern galleria area. EDIT: mods you may want to make this it's own thread seeing as though it is seperate from the possible deyaar proposal.

    i dont want to be an ass, so i'll just quote what strickn posted: you may not have found that interesting... i, for one, did.
  17. swtsig
    i have no knowledge of this project whatsoever... i just found that page very interesting.
  18. swtsig
    very interesting...

    this is an absolute joke... these bastards are no different than those in river oaks (highrises throughout) and tanglewood (the four leaf towers and four post oak are practically in our backyard).

    NYC gets hot as balls during the summer.... muggy, sticky, stinky, hot.

    i'd prefer a local coffee shop as opposed to starbucks.... let's hope one can take it's place.
  22. swtsig
    which one? the barnes and noble one?
  23. swtsig
    btw, i read that article last night and i dont even know why futureman said it "sounds like it might be part of that development," because Lisa Lambert specifically says they're planning on adding a hotel on the Continental Club's development; however, the CC hotel is strictly in the conceptual stage. her planned hotel in montrose near the menil is in the actual design stage and is much further along. either way, pretty exciting for both areas.... main street seems to be on the verge of some real solid development. bout damn time, too.

    yes, tenants are being asked to leave in december... rumor has it that redsotne is planning another residential high rise. no clue about any retail component.

    multiple viewing decks is what i've been told... but i'm sure there isn't an unlimited supply donuts and coffee, ya bunch of moochers
