    I think the SHRO's is onsite. I'm not sure about Downtown, but the photo record on Skyscraperpage would show it.

    Astoria was a cramped space. This one's got a bit more room.

    That sure looks like some kind of silt fencing, although it appears that the sand is getting some blacktop. Parking?

    NY has had its share of proposals that never got to fruition (just check SkyscraperPage). Even the WTC got into financial trouble. What seems to get projects built is developers who have their money lined up and don't have to worry about presales or financing. That's why the Skanska project is likely to get built, whereas outfits like Peloton get stopped before they start. For whatever reason, Manhattan is proving fertile ground for residential 1,000-footers. Houston is now getting quite a few projects that are 40 stories of residential. An economy that generates 100,000 jobs a year will support that. I'm still not seeing how Dallas can find tenants for two supertalls, but Ross Perot, Jr. is behind one of them, so it could get built (the other one is probably not going to get out of the starting gate).

    Possibly, but I would have thought they'd want it onsite.

    Picture? Apache has announced nothing as of yet.

    21 floors. They're close to the top.

    Edens is swooping in from out of town (just like Regency was going to do). Uptown is probably not the only property they own or are developing, and their priorities may be different from those of AmREIT. That alone means the full $1.2 billion project may be more of an investment than they would want to commit to. So I see revisions coming and at the least a re-timing of the developments. On the positive side, I think Edens offers deeper pockets to support whatever AmREIT had planned to build.

    I can't imagine a property would be graded just to sell it.

    I can remember when that Dillard's was a Joske's. If there were a way to connect to the Galleria, that would make a whole lot of sense. As for how Zone D'Erotica got that corner, I would imagine it must be making all kinds of money; otherwise the landlord would have raised the rent to something prohibitive and tried to redevelop those pad sites.

    That's not for lack of TxDOT trying.

    Kenny & Ziggy's. Always considered good.
  13. toxtethogrady
    Correct. They started digging the hole earlier in the Summer.
  14. toxtethogrady
    They're still listing the start period as Q1 2015. I'm guessing demand is strong enough that they'll have a name for this project by the end of the year.

    The W in Dallas is set back some distance from any of the nearby freeways. I think it's in Victory Park.

    This town can't build apartments fast enough to meet demand. I still have to bet that there's room for the 38-story tower to go up sooner rather than later. The Marquette (er, Catalyst) starts out of the ground next week.

    The trees along the West Loop appear to be gaining height and starting to provide some screening of the neighborhoods. They've just planted trees along I-10 from downtown out to 610, and it already looks nice. Where they've done this it's been a good thing.
  18. toxtethogrady
    For Houston, yes. It just depends on how strong demand is. Right now, the city is good for 24,000 apartment units a year.
  19. toxtethogrady
    Seriously. Okay, it's not quite the Unstoppable Sex Machine...

    The previous unit count was 309 in a 40 floor building, or slightly more than 7.5 per floor. Unless there's a density increase, the floor count would have to be 40 atop 12 (or beside 12). Incidentally, the initial rendering of the building appeared to be 23 atop 9.
  21. toxtethogrady
    We don't have renders of the EaDo, either. We may just have to wait.
  22. toxtethogrady
    I didn't think there was room for all that side-by-side on the site. But it could be...
  23. toxtethogrady
    If somebody didn't describe this one wrong.
  24. toxtethogrady
    This one is now described in at least real estate summary as a 40-story building atop a 12-level parking podium. Any clarification?
  25. toxtethogrady
    Incidentally, that downtown inventory mentioned Block 98 - 40 floors of residences on a 12-level parking structure. Is that a misprint?
