LTAWACS Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Exactly. Nancy of chron.com calls it flashy. Um, I call it flashNOT.Nancy's superlatives can usually be taken with a grain of salt. The building looks npt bad but hardly flashy. Very corporate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmancuso Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 What a freaking waste! The existing building is only about 20 or so years old and of all the buildings in that area, the developers knock down a decent 20-storey building. There are countless older trashy 4-5 storey buildings all up and down that street, including the one I work in a few doors up where the elevator is dead every other day. Knock that POS down. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knock that POS down.That "decent 20-storey building" is more like 12 stories, it's lead tenant no longer wants to stay there and its floor plates much too small. There's nothing remarkable about the building whatsoever and the land it sits on is much too valuable in this market.Instead of directing the brunt of your ire towards a developer who will ultimately build several buildings w much longer staying power and providing much greater density, perhaps you can pull your money together to a. Save this unremarkable building and b. Buy and tear down the POS building you're currently in. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jt16 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Developers buy property all the time, yes? Yes, in a marketplace buyers and sellers try to come together and find something buyers want to buy and sellers want to sell. I'm pretty sure developers just don't go around buying up property because that's part of the bussines model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capnmcbarnacle Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Looks like this one is underway. They are currently taking down the oaks on the east side of the property line and are preparing the smaller oaks to be moved. The large grove on the northwest corner has been surrounded by protective fencing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The move to Houston will only bring a few dozen jobs. So, it is unlikely any of this tower will be Oxy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dakota79 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) They put a good bit of the crane base in on Friday, and driving a block or so down is the Levy Park buildings crane. That part of Richmond will look so different by this time next year. Edited March 15, 2014 by Dakota79 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
