So is this office or residential? I would assume they don't need to worry about pre-leasing if they're building condos.

This is the SECOND time I have seen this statement in one of their presentations. Someone needs to call them out on this.

 

Someone needs to tell Dallas that Houston's got 82 companies that did a billion dollars in business last year. And we didn't have to poach them from anywhere else.  

One guy is grousing about traffic. But he has the misfortune to also be a tort reform advocate, so he looks a bit of a hypocrite.

Swamplot's also saying there's a second phase - 258 units. The latest render appears to show the second building, which is almost as tall as the first.

Honestly I hope what that post is, dies!

The cynic in me says we're looking at four apartment wraps and a few bike paths. The real estate is definitely valuable - close to Downtown, access to the light rail. In DC, it would already have been developed. Those derelict car dealerships along the North Freeway are getting redeveloped, so I can't imagine this site's being ignored.

Actually, the architect was going to hang a lantern or two in there. "One if by land, two if by sea."

My understanding is that 4 stories + parking podium is a financial sweet spot. Once you go any taller than that costs rise dramatically.

Either that or four stories surrounding a parking core. These are showing up all over Texas (and other places).

Those aren't decorational pyramids at the top of the garage level; they're homeless spikes!  

Anyone who thinks Houston is 100% oil watches too much TV.

So why did Comerica Bank move its headquarters to Dallas instead?

Half of the appeal of Dallas is its proximity to Houston.
