brijonmang Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Yup digging this one up from the dead. Bobruss saw them working on the garage facade recently. Any details on why they are having to replace all the beautiful stucco arleady?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naviguessor Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I'm Really hoping for more photos of Greek statues. Not enough of those about. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Maybe instead of suing the developers who plan to block their view they pooled their resources to sue Randall Davis for a bait and switch since this thing was supposed to have a "living wall" and a fountain... Oh, wait, this is Texas. Consumers have zero rights. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkylineView Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I've walked past it a few times... kind of looked like mold / water damage behind the facade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richfish Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 The entire facade of the Astoria was done in pretty much the same manner. It's not going to last very long either and is going to be insanely expensive to fix. Never buy a RD property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do any of us really think Randall Davis is going to just leave this ugly blank wall on this tower, contrary to the renderings and, more importantly, while he's trying to market an even more upscale condo tower across the street? Come on. The final product may not be up to the standards of some of us (I'm not that big a fan of the Cosmo myself), but he's not going to do something that boneheaded. Cut him some slack until the building is finished and the ivy starts growing (or whatever the final product is)... This was such a great comment looking back. Apparently he is that boneheaded. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangledwoods Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Quote This was such a great comment looking back. Apparently he is that boneheaded. Or he saw the into his crystal ball that 10 years later someone would be building a garage directly adjacent to his and there was no need to dress up the south facade...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 He's not that smart, and maybe his residents will drop their frivolous lawsuit against Metro and the developer of the adjacent lot to the south and go after the bonehead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
