Referring to an amenity included (forgot name of manufacturer) that automates a unit with a handheld, touchscreen, mobile device that can also give remote access via the internet. Controls climate, lights, etc., etc.

yea that, couldnt remember where i read it. but its super cool, imo

the touchscreen / control via web when out of town are truly exciting

I was never huge on the place but it is interesting.

I remember close to this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/irees/441633712/

but wider I thought, I remember the chess playing, the dog, but i also remember a big waterbed being downstairs lol

awesome pics

Park Hyatt? Not bloody likely

cheers on Flemings

Luxury Residential Tower with a McDonald's at the front of the property!!!!!!!

I am not a fan of Dallas (too white, too small townish, too insecure- thus, the rehearsed snobbery), however when I look at what is happening in Chicago, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Miami (and yes, I know they have overbuilt) I am left with the feeling that Houston is getting second-tier projects where local developers (with the exception of Hines) lack the foresight or capital to execute first class projects that appeal to the type of out of town investors that insure solid financial returns.

I agree with your first point, talk about irony!

However, building, or even maketing for that matter, anything in Houston to out of towners is a bit absurd in my eyes. We have never been, and frankly never will be that kind of city. . . Not that theres anything wrong with that

Yeah, the name's a bit silly, but it beats the typical pretentious developer names: Regency Square, Richmond Landing, the Oaks at Wherever, the Olde Centre at Grande Parkway, etc etc etc.

and "THE TITAN" is -not- pretentious???

Regardless, I like the name, fitting for the target market. Although it will always remind me of the infamous Houston draft blunder (VY)

should be interesting....

such a striking building. i looked over at it going N on 610 today and it looks surprisingly thin.

any new pics? really cool structure. now if i could just get those winning #s. NY penthouse would be mine
