"Hey, at least they got a nice boat out of the deal..."

Meanwhile, I'm skeptical about the PwC/ULI assessment of market prospects, as Houston is supposed to be the top market for new home construction, but it doesn't make the homebuilding prospect list...

I guess it's your typical Randall Davis "eh"...
HBJ

Hope it's not a stickbuilt. Or else better fire suppression...

What an ungainly looking building. But not the only one being proposed that's a block balanced on a pedestal. What gives?

Looks like Randall Davis might be sending this guy a cease and desist letter. 

Well, it's an improvement.

I swear, every time this post appears I flash on the vaccine Moderna.

I keep thinking of the DJ Moderat. Perhaps because Alexandria has one called the Modera Tempo...

So oil just hit $80 a barrel. Party time again?

I drove by this site yesterday. They were drilling core samples, and there were a few other pieces of construction equipment on site, that I had not noticed before.

That's what I call a localized gullywasher...

That's a weird place for family housing. Basically surrounded by giant parking lots and garages? 

I have a hard time identifying access to the place. I'm also not seeing much greenspace around it. Where do kids play?

Greentown Labs sounds like a weed manufacturer.

Or a place to adopt green dogs...

Well why didn't they say so?  Here's one that's more historically appropriate...

 

 

Yep - so historically appropriate, they decided to turn it into a church...

You think random people who don't own a property should have specific demands on how a project that is privately financed is developed down to the T? Why don't you share your address to we can evaluate how your garden and siding effect the quality of life of your neighbors lol 

Who else gives a damn? And evaluating gardens and sidings is what homeowners' associations are for...

Wow, is that going to be a change for that neighborhood.

Yes.  It's special instructions for the demolition crew.

And damned if they didn't take their mission seriously. I liked it better as a building with a giant graffiti swatch across it...

No matter what's happening in Midtown, it could be Tel Aviv, where they've been known to dig a hole and just leave it there....

I've been struck by the sustained rise in both oil and natural gas prices in just three months. It should be good for the local economy. Still disappointed that Houston can't compete for some of the corporate relocations such as the rumored Goldman Sachs regional campus going into the Insurrection Belt in Far North Dallas...

I guess to be truly appropriate, their first headliner should be Post Malone...

yeah this has really taken a nosedive in ambition and quality.

Damned if 850 doesn't look like an elementary school from HISD circa 1974...

South west corner. I like the look of them.

This really wants to be in Tel Aviv...

I suspect, because it is Randall Davis, this project will never quite go away. A zombie version will emerge in a few months...
