    It is also amazingly smelly. I drove up there once out of curiosity. Never will do that again. The stink molecules were trapped in my nasal epithelia for hours.

    Any Haifers associated with NASA or something similar? Like to hear your opinions. Do not know what to make of this. It certainly looks good. It would be incredible if the application lives up to name.

    Calm down. It is normal to have differences of opinions in a country as large as ours. Some opinions are wildly emotional and hate filled, so I always have some sympathy for whoever is President regardless of party or philosophy. It is a tough job. I am pointing out that everyone who is worked up about an alleged Russian hacking is overlooking who was (1) our chief executive officer, (2) the commander in chief (3) picked our chief federal law enforcement officials and (4) was the head of the party that was allegedly hacked. He sounds like he botched his job. I say alleged because I do not know it happened and I have heard no evidence otherwise. Just like the birthers regarding President Obama this is beginning to appear like a lot of screaming and emotionalism with little substance. I suppose cooler heads are using this for fund raising purposes on both sides of the political divide.

    Thanks for the warning.

    Who was head of the US government during the alleged "Russian interference"? Who picked the top law enforcement officials of the country and who was the head of the political party that was hacked? This person sounds like a gross incompetent.

    Two ways that will happened (1) Dubai style mall built over it ( after dumping tons of sodium bicarbonate or a similar de-stinker) or (2) Hope the astronomers who claim a mini-ice age is arriving due to very low solar activity are correct. I hope the astronomers are way off. I love the tropical and near tropical vegetation in my yard and around Houston.

    That is Mt. Trash Houston where the refuse is dumped. Some day in the very very distant future it may be hot real estate

    What happened to the tower an Australian developer has planned?

    Is there a jinx on the Astros? The curse of the Babino and the Billy Goat Curse both lasted 70 years ( I think). I guess my grandchildren will live to see the end of the curse, when they are old.

    What is causing the hostility toward this high rise? Is there no street level retail? I can not tell from the drawings. Or is this some sort of Ashby highrise based hostility? It is not near the River Oaks theater so how did that get into the discussion? It just seems to occupy a corner near Krogers.

    Photos like this get me wondering about the daytime population within the 610 Loop. High rises going up everywhere.

    I am definitely not a luxury hotel coinnoisseur ( wish I were but can't do it with three children), so I am dependent on others perceptions. Would you say this will out class the St. Regis of the Four Seasons?

    Monarch or Crockpot and Gravel any thoughts?
  14. Twinsanity02
    Is that a Fleur de Lis above the name of the store?

    Thanks Mollusk. Next time I visit an old friend at the Med Center I am going to steer the conversation toward high rise buildings and then use the info you just provided. Make me sound more smart and worldly than I actually am. Of course I'll claim credit for the information. You don't mind do you?

    Beats the views I had ( mainly a parking garage) doing research on the 4th floor of UT Med during the 80's and 90's. You are fortunate. Night time views must be great also.

    According to emporis Captain, 609 Main is exactly 299 "Earth feet" above 717 Texas. Thank you Mr. Spock

    Of course this is Mr. Hines land, but I can wish. I wish he would put a signature skyscraper on this spot. Houston needs a signature structure that automatically says "Houston". The Astrodome used to fill that niche. Among North American cities NYC,SF,DC, Seattle, all have signature structures. Nevertheless I am sure anything he puts up will be top notch. I suspect this lot will not remain empty very long.

    It will exceed 500 feet. Using One Park Place and Market Square Tower as references ( both residential) my guess is it will not exceed the American General Tower.

    How does Houston pedestrian tunnel system compare to other cities such as Dallas, Chicago, and Toronto? Have these pedestrian tunnels negatively effected ground level retail? Chicago as I recall has a vibrant street level pedestrian traffic. Don't really know about the other two. Anyone studied this situation?

    I imagine the rents on the north side are going to be less than the south side. Parting the curtains to stare at a garage, that is going to involve interesting sales strategies. Rechlin hope you are right about your assumptions. The garage height has been roughly doubled from the previous drawing. Guess construction depends how the new residential towers fill up. Hope they all have a waiting list.
  22. Twinsanity02
    Think you maybe right. Things certainly are moving in that direction. The high rise planned across the 'superblock" will be a big plus.
  23. Twinsanity02
    So what is the tall shiny building where the old Sakowitz store was? Is this something planned or just artistic baloney?
  24. Twinsanity02
    I just want some life in the old gentleman.
  25. Twinsanity02
    I agree about all the new buildings and the "infill" is a great improvement. Hope it continues. But eventually I sure would like something similar to a One Vanderbilt place ( or a few supertalls) somewhere in the CBD.
