  1. Well, not only does this one appear dead, but now there is an autopsy, courtesy of BisNow:

     

    "Peloton announced plans for Westcreek Centre in February—the 21-story, 368k SF development was supposed to be the first office in 34 years built on the inside of 610 in the Galleria submarket. It was slated to break ground in Q4 right next to the River Oaks District, but the land never closed, and the deal is dead. (Multifamily buyers drove land prices too high for office.)"

  2. Basically, Russian economy is in collapse, so if this was the goal of Saudi Arabia, it appears they're succeeding thoroughly.

     

    The Saudis appear to be going for the whole nut, as they are undercutting the Russians, the Venezuelans, the Nigerians and a few of their OPEC colleagues, embracing free market principles, for a change, and telling the frackers that they are willing to let the price float to a level that reflects a balance between supply and demand. Because of that, several competitors may get knocked out of the market, but on the other hand, the Saudis will not be able to gain pricing power and return prices to $100 a barrel because the frackers will simply be able to drill all they want and undercut OPEC again.

     

    That said, some of the local oil barons must be kicking themselves and saying, "We only needed to cut production 3% to balance supply with demand. Now, prices have dropped 40%, so whatever share we would have gained has caused us to lose 35% in revenues. What were we thinking?"

     

    But the airlines should benefit.
