  1. This photos started to get really blurry cause it was getting dark.
  2. Looks like the source was right. This is when we bring out the champagne bottles.
  3. Yup. Maybe it will start tomorrow.The only thing I saw in the area was that they were still doing soil testing on the other lot with the 39 story residential tower on it, but now on the northern portion of the lot.
  4. Didn't Houston Chron say construction was to begin today? I checked Oxblue and it looks like nothing is going on. I'll swing by there during my lunch break and check it out real quick.
  5. You may actually be surprised with Brookfield. They're currently planning on what to do with the remaining Allen Centers. Last I heard (which was fairly recent), they are still wanting to completely renovate One Allen Center just like what will happen after Exxon completely leaves their building for the campus. Now, I admittedly voted "no" for Five Allen Center but we may be surprised by Brookfield.
  6. Funny how the one with the second most votes is pushed all the way to 2016 now.
  7. Weeeeeeeeell, we still haven't seen the other side so there could be an equally sized pool on the other side. Probably not but we just don't know.
  8. You're probably right. Either way, we still need that rendering! So Hess Tower is 29 floors. One Park Place is 37 floors. Marriott Marquis will be 30 floors last time I checked and the Hilton Americas is just a little smaller. Now I realize that office towers like Hess have a higher floor-to-ceiling length than residential, but either way, couldn't this be the tallest tower near Discovery Green? OPP does have a large crown though so I'm not sure.
  9. May is going to be one hell of a month and it's only a couple of weeks away!
  10. Hotel demand is quite strong right now because of the low vacany. It may have just been difficult to have competing hotels on the same property.
  11. Now if we can just get a rendering from the top or the other side. Looks like there could be a pool on the roof... could you imagine that view?
  12. LOL To be fair, Swtsigs has plenty of bursting-champagne-bottle posts him/herself.
  13. Strange. You're right. I was thinking maybe HS/Hampton bought it all but it is still only half a lot.
  14. Whoops wrong tower. Didn't realize we were talking about International Tower.
  15. We have to still be realistic at the same time. One Market Square, eh? Lockmat was right.... this sounds like a One Park Place's twin.
  16. Thank God for TIRZ. So glad they bumped it up to 5,000 so we'll get more like these. My thinking is, the skybridge will connet to this project from Marriott Marquis BUT the main purpose of it will be to connect Marriott Marquis to the Hess Tower (which in turn connects it to the rest of dowtown via the tunnels and skybridges) by taking the skybridge that connects to their parking garage.
  17. Chron article for anyone that missed it: http://www.houstonchronicle.com/entertainment/arts-theater/article/Group-set-to-break-ground-for-multi-use-arts-venue-5407141.php
