STCL graduation? 

Hope they can fill another one..  I wonder how leased up the first one is as of May? 

One of those Walmart Market's (pretty much groceries only) like they have in Uptown Dallas would be great for all incomes.

beautiful tree...cannot wait to see this place finished!!!

beautiful nearly dead tree...

Looks perfect for some Big 4 Accounting Firm to take up residence in....

Crappy pics but I had a labrador full of energy pulling the leash.. Tried to snap a few. 

The Magnolia Grove Civic Association is having a meeting on December 18th about this project if anyone is interested in attending. I don't have anymore information about the meeting or time. 

Whataburger should relocate and make this their headquarters.  All I think of every time I see the renderings.

Nooiicceee!!!

Only saw it for a minute.  Very round, cylinder like. Light Blue glass... Large crown? I guess you could call it that extends a few floors above the top.  Lighting feature that runs up the side of the building I think.  Don't know if it is on both sides.  Just saw the angle from San Felipe and 610. 

Yes, I realize this description sucks. 

Saw a rendering of it last week.  Should look very nice. 

Wasn't sure where to post this but I saw it on swamplot.  Yeah, the hotel sucks on the outside (never been inside) but having another hearsay there is a huge + in my book!  Awesome bar.

Also, would be fun to brainstorm suggestions to improve the exterior...

Lawyer Josh Blackman called the residents' claim of nuisance " backdoor zoning for the wealthy" which isn't proper use of the land.  

I had him for Property I a year ago! The prof has a genius level IQ... Seriously may be the smartest person I know.  Great guy.

Here is a link to his blog!

Crane is up. Couldn't get a picture.

They ought to just hold off on trying to get any sod going until after Free Press.  Just gonna get completely destroyed if they do plant grass now.

Did you take those pics with a potatoe?

I don't get it, unless you're referring to the tint and that is due to the window being tinted that color and it being filthy. 

~You're welcome for the pics. 

And the view of this from the 33rd floor of 1 houston center/lyondellbasell... Oh, and Happy Opening Day Astros!!!!

From the 33rd floor of 1 Houston Center/LyondellBasell.  Hard to tell from the pics but they had a crew going nonstop with a bobcat and all sorts of machinery up on the top floor they were tearing down.  Really interesting to watch.  Sorry the pics aren't better (iphone).

Took these last Thursday on the roof of my parking garage. 

The biggest thing I've been waiting on for months are the lights they installed along both the northern and southern paths. Once they turn those on, I can see me even going along these trails at night. It would make for a nice nightly jog.

They were on this evening.

Sad to see Blancos shut down.  I was told the owner got a great rate on tuition for the kiddos.

Is this the tallest building along the east side of 610?

If it is taller than the Amegy building, it will be.

i cant wait to see skyline shots from the pool deck

I can't wait to see the shots of pool and what's in it

They were putting new window washing equipment on the Fulbright building this afternoon.  They may have been doing the same with 2 Houston.

We have very few affordable golf courses in town as it is. How about a better course

THIS.  Roommate and I took a trip up to Dallas recently.  The municipal/public courses up there are leaps and bounds better than what Houston has to offer.  Herman really needs to get it together.  It could be a great inner loop course... See memorial park.
