  1. Well I thought you were excited about all of those projects but after that, I just don't know what to think...you seem to have a very existential way of analyzing things.
  2. ....but we aren't getting the Shanghai tower
  3. I recently talked with my friend who was the person who first told me about this tower. They said the 38 story tower is still a go. Didn't say anything about 40 stories but...I'd say that it's safe to keep the enthusiasm train on track.
  4. I've driven past the building a few times this week, the glass looks really classy in the sunlight. These two will look great once they are up and cladded.
  5. Return of the giant radar detector!!!!
  6. Good question. Redscare has always run this. I'm in to keep the group alive again.
  7. The sketch is accurate-it makes perfect sense. It's looking south from Market Square Park and it portrays all the surrounding buildings as they are right now.
  8. That BotSW tower looks awesome, Mitchell! Great skyline sketch. The way you drew it is in perfect proportion to the skyline to me. Well done. @Lockmat, I can maybe check at my parents somewhere but it was about ten years ago. I don't think I've ever gotten THAT lucky when looking for something.
  9. He said a design for Houston, not Midland... Cool ideas guys, I used to have a whole spiral full of designs I did one summer but that was years ago and I have no idea where it went.
  10. All of the other Skyhouses haven't started on their parking garages until the buildings were topped out...
  11. I think J_cuevas just forgot his/her login info and came up with a new account.
  12. I'd say it has more of a slant on the sides than a twist but that's just me. I like the building and hope to see it go up. Hope we get a residential tower like this (40+ stories) to go up in downtown soon. (I know there are proposals floating around but they're just that until otherwise proven)
  13. I believe the original press release said a 2Q 2014 ground breaking. Considering this building is already spoken for tenant-wise and they just got their tax breaks approved, I'd say this project is 100% a go when that time comes around. No need to worry about the fence coming down. Aside from that, being on the vacant lot last night really reminded me how great the glass look on the two buildings already there. I have no doubt that this building will look good despite having a pretty mundane profile.
  14. I finally got to check out some of the Buffalo Bayou redevelopment last night and got this picture from the pedestrian bridge at Studemont. It looks great despite it being a work in progress and it was great to see so many people out running and biking on the trails. http://s7.photobucket.com/user/brijonmang/media/IMAG0262_zps721d894f.jpg.html'>
  15. Just wanted to add a downtown photo to the thread...not trying to steal your thunder Larry http://s7.photobucket.com/user/brijonmang/media/IMAG0263_1_zps16e94681.jpg.html'>
  16. I ended up getting a chance to get downtown last night. Here's a not so great cell phone picture of the site as of August 13...(Sorry I just really like 1500 Louisiana) http://s7.photobucket.com/user/brijonmang/media/IMAG0267_zps703adeae.jpg.html'>
  17. No I think he's talking about my dumpster diving ex. Although, now that you mention it I am reminded of the mud wrestler, too.
  18. They have poured the floor of the seventh floor and are starting to form the the eighth. They have installed a concrete pump that you can see in Howard's picture. I'm guessing the pump truck's days are numbered.
  19. Just because http://s7.photobucket.com/user/brijonmang/media/Houston_zps57731be6.jpg.html'>
  20. Cool, lots of information in there. I didn't see anything to specify though so I guess it's for the whole block at this point (based on the plat by Jones and Carter). I have a lot of contacts at JC but unfortunately they are on the single family residential side...that said, I will still try to do some digging to find out what I can on this.
