    one more question, why no backing on the insulation? or is it put in facing the other way...i've never seen it like this? http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b231/hou...rt/IMG_9492.jpg

    this thing is sick. amazing progress thus far. also heard the "condos" are just apts, so afaik you can't purchase anything in the whole lot. just leasing residential / office / retail

    RedScare- thanks but its not a true bungalow, but probably not even true "heights", just in the general vicinity flipper- where'd you get the shower wall/door?

    Thanks guys. Not so much on magazines, mainly google. also looking through pics of trendy hotels I've stayed in. As far as this whole theme, certainly not trying to go fully minimalistic or uber contempo. Just doing whatever I like with the idea of nice resale in 5-7 yrs. Raised bowls is iffy now, Im loving this style: Please go crazy with the pics guys, if yall have some--post up as far as pics of the house, im taking some, but they are parceled out on dif cams and laptops. ill try to make a thread once it gets closer to completion.

    Remodeling a house in the heights. Giving it a modern theme inside. Not going too crazy...but who knows. Half the walls are open. Just started tile work in the bathrooms. Thinking of doing the raised bowl look for sinks and some cutesy faucets. Cant really think of what other subtle things will give it that "look"... Going stainless in the kitchen, nobless dark-wood cabinetry. Lighting is canned/recessed throughout. Windows already have new, standard metal blinds. moo... Flooring in living/dining/br's is an old oak wood laminate. I think it'd look hot with a refinish. Ideas for... Wall texture? Paint colours? Baseboards? sounds nitpicky, but those classic molding is old fashioned. any other small stuff yall can think of? THANKS!

    Yeah, but the way development is headed, it will feel like one big "strip" soon. Which could have people walking from place to place......maybe more shopping amongst the wine bars and mexican restaurants? I dont know...Midtown is one big grid and you always see people out and about. Perhaps the strip feel of Washington could be a negative.

    Hard for me to follow that logic. You're right T&C visibility sucks from 10, basically nonexistant. However, from both sides of BW8, driving 70mph, its plain to see something BIG is going on. Access is ridiculous and probably always will be. This mem city condo projects visibility is better from 10 but not great. The proportion(size) of development is much smaller and as I mentioned its set back. So if people were looking (most are oblivious) they would have to look past the Bally's/starbucks + Ciro's/Guadaljara centers. I didnt notice it til I saw this thread and consciously looked Regardless, T&C has potential--Great new restaurants, Valencia hotel (big deal and not discussed enough here. yes SA has one, but look at the other, a keypoint in one of the nation's most notorious mixed use projects-santana row), offices, the brownstones(eghh), etc. Memorial City, to me of course, is still that old shopping mall, where I got my first skateboard and hair butchered by visible changes, that has had way too much invested to it and still not anything special.

    That should be Houston's new motto "if Atlanta can do it, so can we!"

    hey haifers -- forget infill projects promoting urban density, forget spectacular skyscrapers sculpting awe-inspiring skylines, we want ARMS.

    just thinking some questions out loud here.... . .. who is their target market with these? where will most of the inhabitants likely work? (the new hospital, where else nearby?) why would anyone considering this development choose it over t&c citycentre? (t&c is certainly marketed better. looks to be more close knit and a better project in general--ie. starting from scratch and not just adding on around a mall nucleus (thank god) it seems set back a bit from the freeway.. doesnt look to be 1st flr retail... perhaps it could attract an older market -- i guess this could be the case with any condo project outside the loop? i just cant see any young professionals considering this one. even with the e.corridor booming and bringing them in by the truckloads.

    I really dont get it either. I keep thinking they'll somehow remove it when move-ins start. Shame too, iirc the Titan renderings have a similar deal.

    Crazy... it will do well with UTSA a stone's throw away. That area is super nice. Hope they put a grocery store in

    Does THAT include grammar?

    K then! Is this any different than speed limits and downloading music or is HBJ held on a pedestal?

    Duly noted. However, rules we're meant to be broken - and the internet is prime grounds to get away with such a heinous crime. Any rebels wanna help me out?
