    When I was looking about 2 years ago I think they had a 1 BR for maybe $1000 or thereabouts? Very reasonable for downtown.

    The place wasn't too pricy.

    It wasn't high rent, it was low demand. Revitalization is creating sort of a "herd" demand where people can go downtown and hit multiple places.

    On the bottom left in this picture, through the branches, you can see where they've painted 5 different paint swatches, different colors of brown. I'm assuming they're planning to paint the concrete columns one of those colors. There is lots of nice brickwork underneath, but they seem to have ruined some of it with the concrete, so seems like they had to improvise a little.

    Bad News Bar and Batanga have opened.

    Oh, maybe I'm a block off.

    Now to be called GreenStreet. http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/2013/04/developers-announce-plans-to-reinvent-houston-pavilions/ Plans are to reduce some building space to allow a courtyard to hold events and add patios on Dallas, among other changes.

    I'm assuming they're the ones that put in the application for the City to abandon Berry Street between this development and Natachee's. Will be interesting to see what's planned for that area.

    Yes, they've had that for a while and have said the name is changing. http://4april2013.com/

    Chase and Wells Fargo face roughly opposite directions, so you can see pretty much everything from those two. The only other high public floor I know of is the Bank of America building, which looks down Allen Parkway. Wells Fargo's is called a "Sky Lobby." There are two Sky Lobbies at different levels, and yes they are open to public. Can ride up from the tunnel level, actually.

    Since the Marriott offers room service to Humble Tower residents currently, I see no reason why they wouldn't also offer room service to Springhill Suites.

    Phoenicia needs to sell food too. Also you might be surprised how much we downtown yuppies eat out. I'm really lazy.

    They're keeping maximum garden.

    Because lockmat was drawing a comparison between the spending habits of a hotel visitor vs. a resident.
  15. kylejack
    Will the hotel maintain the same 100% occupancy that the residential maintains? Dubious.
  16. kylejack
    I don't get it, why change it to a hotel when it's got a permanent waitlist for residential? Did they think of raising prices?
  17. kylejack
    Did not see another thread for this.

    No, the Les Givrals space is on Congress while the coffeeshop is on Main Street.

    There was a new announcement that the Anvil crew is opening a tequila and mezcal bar at 310 Main, the old space for The Office.

    Doesn't matter, when an entity requests a variance (which is an exception to what the code requires) it is a good time to get some concessions such as fixing a sidewalk ROW issue, especially one which would be easy to fix.
  22. kylejack
    Well since the average customer doesn't consult PDFs before pulling in to a space, perhaps it would be good to install some parking stops to prevent them from pulling across the sidewalk. That's what I asked Morgan Weber about, and he said he'd be willing to do so. Which would fix the ROW problem on Arlington which you claim does not exist.
  23. kylejack
    If the sidewalk doesn't conflict with the parking, then why are the lines for the parking spaces painted directly across the entire sidewalk? Look at my pictures, posted earlier.
  24. kylejack
    Those three all sell it retail. D'Amico's is good but a little pricy imo, and H&H is distant from me. Fabio's probably a better deal.
  25. kylejack
    Maybe he just likes the place. Not many places selling fresh pasta in Houston. This place, Damico's, and Hubbell & Hudson up in The Woodlands are the ones I know of.
