Great news! I don't think there's much doubt gate D-9 will be ready by December 3.

SkyHouse Houston II: Multifamily At 1044 Jefferson St.
Houston19514 replied to lockmat's topic in Downtown
Isn't it a 24-story tower? That's what all the information I can find indicates, including the title of this thread. ;-)- 722 replies

Yeah. The question was about why they apparently moved more than three trailers on to the site and then moved all but three back off the site.

It looks better than ever. Seriously probably looks better now than it did in 88-90.

The two towers and pool is a conceptual rendering of a residential development.

ROFL. It was moved just as always was planned. That's why there were pre-drilled holes in the new pole for the wiring. No reaching out or prodding was necessary to get them to do what was obviously always the plan. Prepare yourself for the removal of the "hidden" pole, also as planned from the beginning.

Ya think?? Yours is nothing but classic "the grass is greener on the other side of the fence". I cannot understand why so many Houstonians, especially on this board, are so stuck in that way of thinking. What about the Duncan family wing recently added to our Museum of Natural Science (the addition is larger than the entire Perot Museum)? How about the Menil? How about the Beck Building at MFAH? or Caroline Weiss Law's bequest to MFAH of an estate worth more than $400 Million?

Kinder High School For The Performing And Visual Arts At 790 Austin St.
Houston19514 replied to Subdude's topic in Downtown
I can only tell you that was a direct copy and paste from HISD's website giving the project status for this building. -
Kinder High School For The Performing And Visual Arts At 790 Austin St.
Houston19514 replied to Subdude's topic in Downtown
^ I think it's fair to note that the rendering being discussed here is 2 1/2 months old. Do we know it is anything more than a conceptual rendering? We do know that "Preparation of more detailed Schematic Design Phase drawings and documents are underway." I found some more renderings and floor plans. -

Houston19514 replied to Subdude's topic in Downtown
Why do we think the client had a very specific vision for what this school should look like? -

There are some floor plans in this slide show. -
False. The crosswalk has been shifted to the south and the current pedestrian signal is clearly visible from that altered crosswalk location. Yeah, that photo pretty conclusively disproved your point, didn't it? ;-)

In the picture below, the so-called "blocked item" is the is the pole on the right. As anyone can see, the only thing it has in common with Mollusk's description of it, is that it has a ball on top (well, actually you can't see the ball in this pic, but it does have a ball on top).

Uptown Park: Shopping Center At 1121 Uptown Park Blvd.
Houston19514 replied to Sunstar's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
I think he means, mixed use occurs in the building next door (i.e., high-residential next door to a high-rise hotel, next door to a retail building, rather than a high rise containing several floors of retail topped by hotel topped by residential) -
Great news! We're steadily moving towards the 200-nonstop destinations milestone. (FWIW, World Airline News reports the Punta Cana weekly flight, so it seems it's past the rumor stage.)

Construction At A Freeport Chemical Plant
Houston19514 replied to cloud713's topic in Coastal Prairie and Bay
It almost certainly part of Dow Chemical's $4 Billion expansion. -
Construction At A Freeport Chemical Plant
Houston19514 replied to cloud713's topic in Coastal Prairie and Bay
Probably not, considering (i) the ethane plant was just announced and the OP project is pretty clearly already under construction and more important (ii) the OP project is in Freeport while the ethane plant will be on the Houston ship channel. -
I think views are more important for a residential property than for a hotel. There are many very nice hotel rooms in major cities that do not have views. That's certainly my approach to life. If I'm renting a hotel room for a night or 5, a view is nice, but not usually crucial. If I'm renting or even more so if I'm buying a place to live, I am going to want to see something besides the back side of another building.

Holiday/Days/Heaven On Earth Inn At 801 St. Joseph Pkwy.
Houston19514 replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
Purpledevil, meet the 33 story Fairfield Inn Times Square. -
Whatever indeed. Even if you used that very crosswalk 50 times every day, it doesn't change the facts. It doesn't make old concrete new. Like I said, I encourage others to drop by and take a look.

I'll bet they were "perplexed", given that literally nothing you told them or are presenting to us on this subject has been accurate. I just went by it tonight on my way home and took a look. The blocked item is very clearly not a shiny new gray traffic signal pole (alright it does have a ball on top.) It is not the same finish as the new pole and the blocked pole is not on a nice new poured foundation. I encourage anyone in the area to run by and take a look to confirm. A rudimentary examination of the new pole (with the pre-drilled hole for pedestrian sign wiring) along with the clearly pre-exsiting pole, makes it pretty clear this is a temporary situation and not an oversight requiring correction.
