BROWN CC. to date, we just have not been privy to the latest renderings/depictions. however, i'm certain that they are indeed forthcoming. additionally, let's us not forget about the new hotel in the TMC-3 development. that particular hotel, along with it's size, scale, and scope... could very easily become houston's next W HOTEL brand, as well as our next RITZ CARLTON brand. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed_Tx Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 $600/month maintenance fee is quite reasonable for a high rise. It's slightly higher per square foot than what I was paying at the commie block in Sharpstown that I used to live in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangledwoods Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I like this one from their marketing brochure "The Views from the 7th level and above are just spectacular. We really don't have any obstruction to the Downtown skyline".  Surely people are smart enough to understand that the ATT store / Bancorp just east of this site is going to be redeveloped....? There will be a 30+ story blocking most of those sweet downtown views within the next 10 years. (And for the record I have ZERO intel for this post, just an opinion based on the underutilization of the subject property). 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed_Tx Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 ok, place your bets... I have $5 on Randall Davis buying the plot at the NW corner of Post Oak and San Felipe and building something ugly and tall just to block Aspire's views of downtown. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll build off of that bet and guess that he will build a massive 30 story building comprised of a 20 story parking garage pedestal made of cinder blocks... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big E Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Come on guys, leave Randall alone. Its not his fault he was born without taste. Its a very terrible, serious condition! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you mean the NE corner (Aspire is on the NW corner), but yeah, scary thought. That corner is primo and will surely be developed with an Aspire view-of-DT-blocking tower some day! Let's hope nothing designed by the Davis father-daughter combo! They're adding their blight to River Oaks now with the Paramount, another gaudy, retro piece of crap on a pedestal.

Some of his buildings aren't bad from the outside, like the famous one on 56th and 5th, but by his interior design taste, you'd think he fancies himself an 18th century French queen! Who knows how he dresses up once he's alone in the "His" bedroom at night!

Popular Post asubrt Posted September 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2020 Sadly I’m moving so this is the last photo I’ll be able to post from this vantage point. It’s been a joy getting to watch this one rise, along with several others completed ones in this photo over the last few years. 23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
