Ten mil would be pocket change considering what some of the penthouses in Manhattan are going for. I'm still trying to figure out who is buying them.

DC has an annual Fringe theater festival - 80 different productions in a dozen small theater venues over three weeks. When MATCH is done, someone in Houston should organize a similar venture in Houston.

With Governor Abbott chatting up General Electric, maybe they should groom this site for them? They do have a major piece of the oil and gas division here.

Camden Conte: Multifamily At 1515 Austin St.
toxtethogrady replied to Urbannizer's topic in Downtown
I remember sitting at June 2013 and hearing about projects that were going to start in 2014. As far off as that seemed, we are now in the midst of a major round of construction. 2016 will be here sooner than we think.- 762 replies

If anybody was wondering, the building permit for this just hit today's HBJ. About $20 million - office building and retail superstructure (according to the listing).

I was on travel in Miami last week. The ultimate land of hot and humid...except that the thunderstorms form in the early afternoon and dissipate most of the heat. The same effect happens in Houston as long as the winds come off the Gulf.

Jahn built versions of it in Chicago and Philadelphia. If it were built now, it would look positively derivative.

The Astoria: Condominium High-Rise At 1405 Post Oak Blvd.

It's not really an office "park" (and neither is Tyson's). It's multiple properties owned by separate developers.- 988 replies

And if it makes anyone feel better, Dallas went to a lot of effort to get the University of Texas at Dallas created as a high technology center, but it does not appear to have created the "silicon prairie" that everyone up there thought would come of it. UT Arlington is still the better of the two UT institutions up there. There was talk once of absorbing UH into the University of Texas system, but that got discouraged. Now UH has satellite campus.

Rice ranks as a Top 20 school nationally, which puts it ahead of most of those schools. Exceptions would be Columbia, Harvard and Stanford (possibly Penn and Northwestern). What they lack in the way of theater or film, they make up for with their music department. And the Baker School is getting a lot of national press for global policy issues. I suppose you could make the school larger, but more students won't add to its prestige. If there is any criticism of the school, it's that they have not created many commercial ventures off "bucky-balls". But then, UH created superconductors and didn't monetize those, so everyone's missed their opportunities.

I'm not sure the relocations are going to generate the demand for the new building. Apache's been under pressure from activist shareholders to "maximize shareholder value". Which is often code for sell or break up the company. It certainly does not favor new office construction - especially when oil is still only $59 a barrel. We'll see if these plans get revisited when oil hits $75 a barrel again.

They've been backlogged for a while, which is why they've got contract people in the office trying to work on the backlog.

Yes, but can we get an out-of-town firm to put, say, 500 employees in a block of space in the building?

It was gifted to them by Bob McNair. Equivalents in DC would be the church-related theater companies (Aldersgate, St. Mark's) but on a much more ambitious scale.
