    The last time I looked, Houston had 36 highrises over 10 floors under construction. Calgary is pretty close to that number, but I think Houston's ahead. Toronto is just off the charts, and some of the highrises under construction are fairly tall. I'm not sure what's encouraging that growth.

    Maybe this weekend. Allowing the crane to go up in early November.

    Another five level wonder...

    Costco Downtown! There is a precedent for this kind of redevelopment in DC, and their lot charged for parking.

    So they want to claim part of the setbacks. How often is that permitted to happen?

    ConocoPhillips claimed a similar size piece of Energy Towers III, IV and V. In addition ExxonMobil picked up a large block of space in Hughes Landing in the Woodlands.

    And drinking Gallo?

    Is it 4 levels below grade or 4 levels of parking below the apartments themselves? I can't imagine a good reason why a developer would want to dig four levels into the gumbo for a parking garage when it's cheaper to build up rather than build down.

    I've forgotten, but it's not a small piece. So are the corporate campuses the other oil companies are building.

    Talk about your basic industrial blue and white...

    No, that's been repurposed.

    I thought nobody was building malls in the US anymore.
  13. toxtethogrady
    Yeah, but people coming to the games have to have some place to park.

    Today's BisNow mentions a residential tower as part of the Galleria expansion. I'm not sure whose that will be, but they seemed pretty definite it will be built.

    Personally, I would like to see something that looks like the Woodlands Gate development. I doubt that one will ever be built, but it looks nothing like any other development in this city - or elsewhere in the country. It would add some spice to Downtown.

    Still looks the same.

    Traffic and parking would be horrendous. They'd have to build about ten levels of parking to support something that tall.

    I recall seeing a practice yard on the way into town on 45. The only other one I know of is off I-95 in New Jersey and is run by the Operating Engineers.

    Looks like the lecture got cancelled.

    I want to see a Harrod's. Especially if it's the first Harrod's in Texas.

    Astoria Marlowe? Sounds like the name of an heiress.

    CBRE is taking bids on a 2.71 acre parcel - south side of Post Oak and 610. Get yours in by November 18 and it could be yours... http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/morning_call/2014/10/deadline-set-for-offers-on-vacant-galleria-area.html

    $1,500. I am actually quite surprised at how the price of rentals has moved in the last two years. It is still possible to find luxury apartments in reasonably new buildings in Fort Worth for under $2,000 a month for a two-bedroom, 1300 sf unit. The same building offered in Houston (by the same developer) can be over $2,500 a month. Supply has not kept up with demand, so it's a landlord's market. And it will probably remain that way for a few years, even with all the new construction coming to market. Of course, if you're willing to live out in Katy, you might get a price break. A small one.

    But it sure beats the guy spinning the signboard down on the street corner to attract our attention...

    I think the property is being converted to a hotel. I'm not sure, but it's a familiar brand, not a one-off.
