    http://www.blvdplace.com/InteractiveMap.htm Looking at the map I think there could be several things going on. I agree with Lockmat on the location, this is right where building 4 of BLVD Place is. So maybe they decided to scale back and sell (or are in the process of selling) that part of the development. Less likely would be squeezing the astoria between the existing BLVD place (building 6) and building 4...would be very ambitious seeing as it is pulling teeth to get anything going in the first place but I can be hopeful I suppose!

    #1 and #5 are my favorites, but #1 is the best. However, I just have a feeling that #2 will win. In a similar fashion as the Montrose HEB 2 good designs will split the vote haha.

    Driving by this on 610, it really has an impact in the area as far as infill and the look to uptown. Now if we could just get a tower on the inner loop side of san felipe...

    http://www.gid.com/development/the-sovereign.aspx I guess this has been renamed "The Sovereign" Same description but a more detailed rendering. Cant really tell where it is going to be, but I'm sure itll be close to regent square's property (if it is ever built)

    1) Mexican drug cartel presence/violence has more of an impact in US and our intervention becomes more likely 2) Regent Square will break ground 3) Obama re-elected 4) California will have an earthquake of 6.0 of bigger

    It just uses central park as a comparison, never say it is the name

    Very sweet...could be a huge addition. Connecting to discovery green is obvious. People come for the conventions and such, now we give them a reason to stay downtown. I like!

    Bravo was asking for something like $400k from the city for the "privilege" of being on their show and the city said no thanks... I am actually glad, yea it isnt that much money but what does this really do for our city...virtually nothing. Now if it was on a major network it might be another story.

    I am from Houston but have lived in Dallas for the past 5 years after going to college there. In the grand scheme of things, both cities are very similar. Houston advantages over Dallas (keep in mind these are all subjective): -More centrally located, if living in or around the loop you have access to anything you need. In Dallas a lot of things tend to be in suburbs, cheaper food, more diverse food, costco, stadiums just as example -Cheaper living. I cant say from experience in Houston but my friends pay less in Midtown, Museum District, Heights, and Washington than Uptown Dallas on average. -Diversity. Im sure you have heard this but it really is true, especially with food. I find in dallas that diverse food typically means more expensive. Dallas advantages: -Cleaner: Everything in Dallas is relatively new and planned, most of uptown and arts district is from 2000 and after. -Easier commute: If you live in Uptown and work in Uptown/Downtown, you have virtually 0 commute. You can basically guarantee a 15 min commute at the minimum in houston

    I kinda reminds me of "The House" in Dallas...virtually same look without having to pay for the name of some French guy.

    This is the same company that is developing Regent Square...Is there a chance this could be a rendering of one of the towers in regent square?

    Link "Upon completion, the project will feature approximately 250 for-rent luxury apartment homes and 12,500 SF of ground-floor retail, which will be anchored by an upscale restaurant that will service the surrounding community and the tenants. Construction is planned to commence in the second quarter of 2012. "

    Take THE rail

    I think the closest one is on Woodway near Voss. This whole foods will work but is kinda unnecessary since there is Rice across the street, Randalls a block away, and Kroger further down San Felipe.

    My house... haha

    Didn't want to start a new thread for this so I figured this was close enough...Obama last night mentioned Houston and how this new stimulus will fund a public transportation project here. He didnt go into detail or anything but it has to be promising for the other lines.

    I drove down around Midtown earlier and noticed some work on the North East corner of W Gray and Taft. Does anyone know what could be going in there?
