fernz Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I really like that the garage is lined with units (or at least pretending to be) so it doesn't loom like a big parking garage at the base. These developers know what they're doing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchFan Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I really like that the garage is lined with units (or at least pretending to be) so it doesn't loom like a big parking garage at the base. These developers know what they're doing. I agree, that certainly improves the view from and interaction with the street. Thinking back to mid- and high-rise residential projects I looked at in the past, it often seemed like a long walk from car to one's front door. The garage-clinging units in this project would certainly have a convenience advantage in that regard. I'm not sure what downsides there might be, but I guess that would depend on other details of the design and construction. Hearing car alarms going off at night could be one.

Montrose1100 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Not too bad. I do like that they are using an off-white as appose to beige color scheme. A good filler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KinkaidAlum Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I wonder if the Ball players will buy/rent any of these? or will the team pick up a few for guest quarters or something? Have you seen the payroll of the Astros? No player could afford it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have squeezed in some more in there, but at least with this and 500 Texas Ave is going to get some nice traffic on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 http://www.bisnow.com/commercial-real-estate/houston/2861-corinthian-cant-buy-enough-historic-fixer-uppers/ Marquette Cos prez Darren Sloniger's development activity itself is a change. He's been a buyer in Houston for several years, but he wants IRR in the teens and that's rarely happening on the acquisitions side now. He's also building Downtown (he'll break ground on Block 52 in six weeks), and says everything happening in the CBD makes it one of the most exciting opportunities he's ever seen. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downtownian Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I wish the Hogan-Allnoch building next door would be renovated but I think all the new development just makes it more likely to be torn down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
