    this is now Treasures. Before it became Treasures, they resurrected the Cutter Bill's name, but, since it had been so long since the original CB had been shut down none of the recent Houston transplants got the name's heritage, so it flopped

    the first four wards have their dividing lines at Main and Texas, so that's hy the quadrants are divided there. why redraw the map....lol

    I wold sat there's an 80% chance it gets built. The built their first Houston tower last year with no tenants lined up, leased the entire thing to one client, then sold it to them. that is an excellent start for a first venture in this town- I'm thinking they know they can do it again.

    it's better applied to One Allen Center

    the Sheraton wasn't a brick structure like this one, so I'm sure the scaffolvator (heh.. good name for it, Nate) is up so they can remove all the brick. Plus, the Sheraton was already gutted and had all it's asbestos removed. after the brick comes down, the rest of the structure will come down rather quickly

    there was a Gold Mine at Westwood, too. It was next to Joske's

    you can see this from outside the Westpark Curve now

    there is no way it will be gone by March, but, excavation for the rest of the tower will take a couple of months, so, if this one is gone by June, then it'll work out pretty well. I think it took 6 months to disassemble the Sheraton, which was just a shell. (timeline pulled out of thin air)

    they blew it up Sept 22, so it took them almost 120 days to clean out the hole and get it to where it is now

    it will be in the sun during the summer.

    whoever they are, they are NOT screwing around!

    excuse the lack of quality on the picture, my LG phone's camera is worthless. So, the last of the digging and cleaning machines have been removed, the walls of the 'bathtub' have been shored up, and the tunnel entrance is sealed. We now have the future home of Hilcorp, sans building.

    it was Food Lion that 20/20 killed... Food King is still going strong

    probably because the topic was started in 2009

    most Stop N Robs became Valero stores

    hmm.... they built a ramp on the Main St side.

    Mexico is ending their oil monopoly, inviting foreign investment. Look for oil prices to drop and production there doubles in the next few years. you would think that if Chevron grabs a chunk of that, they'll need more office space... lol http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-12-16/north-america-to-drown-in-oil-as-mexico-ends-monopoly.html

    The bathtub for the old Foley's building takes up the entire block, and is about 15' deep. They are currently filling it in. i really need to delete the account that uses my real name... it's linked to my cell phone... lol

    the pictures make it look better than anything that the chick on Rehab Addict has taken on, but, still... more than 300k....cash.. .who are they kidding... lol

    is that 'construction starts in March', or "prep for deconstruction of the Texas Tower ends and it's actual deconstruction starts" in March?
  23. Tumbleweed_Tx
    lockmat.... shhh... that still works

    the people who live in that area want it to be exclusive- they want the property value high to keep out those who are not like them, and they don't care about paying higher taxes on the property. It's just money to them. ( i have a client who lives in the noontime shadow of AHR on the other side of Bissonnett.... that is his attitude)

    did Hilcorp ever give a timetable on their construction project? I'm wondering because the size of the hole in the ground is way too big to be filling in now just to dig it all up in a couple of years (even if it is only 15' deep, and just where did they think they were going to put 30,000 people in a shelter on that block? Throughout the entire Foley's building?)
