The Airport apparently entered into a new 10-year agreement for the maintenance and operation of the Skyway train this past April. https://www.railwaypro.com/wp/alstom-wins-huston-apm-operation-contract/

No reason, other than revenue, I suppose. A few reasons we can (unfortunately) expect it to stay: (1) Additional revenue for Big-Tex. (2) The billboard owner probably has a lease/easement to which Big Tex's ownership is subject. (3) If it was going to come down, it seems likely it would have been demolished along with the building.

Parkside Residences: Multifamily High-Rise At 808 Crawford St.
Houston19514 replied to largeTEXAS's topic in Downtown
FWIW, the developer's website says it's 43 https://www.trammellcrow.com/en/projects/block-98 If this were going up in Dallas, it would be listed as at least 44 stories, if not 45. ;-) From the renderings, 43 looks right. Some might be calling it 44 because there might not be a 13th floor.- 1,224 replies

That must be why the Milam Street entrance ramp has been closed too...

A little more information from one of the other prime contractors: http://www.austingilbane.com/docs/OUTREACH_KICKOFF_FINAL.pdf

That's weird. I just pulled that same record and those "Prior year" amounts are not on there. But it does confirm that they pay property taxes.

For the record, the numbers highlighted at the bottom of my post "Resales" and "First Sales" are comparing sale prices (not asking prices) of units that have been resold in the past two years with sales prices (again, not asking prices) of units that were first sales (initial sales by the developer).

Texas Tower: Office Skyscraper At 845 Texas Ave.
Houston19514 replied to democide's topic in Downtown
So, you think you could start a restaurant named, just to pick a person's name at random, ... Wendy's? 😉 -
This got me curious, so I took a look at HAR listings recorded sales (the building, or at least started with, 109 units): There are 18 currently listed for sale. They appear to all be resales. Asking prices per square foot range from $438.53 to $880.81, with an average of $594.69, median price: $546.52. There have been 10 resales in the past two years. Sale prices ranged from $366.23 (someone got a deal!) to $674.44. Average resale price per square foot: $502.07; median price: $466.98 There were 9 sales in the past two years that appear to have been first sales (the last one being in May of this year). The sale prices ranged from $439.27 to $772.77, with an average sale price of $513.40 per square foot; median price $486.70. Resales: First Sales: Average: $502.07 Average: $513.40 Median: $466.98 Median: $486.70

Discovery West: Mixed-Use Development Downtown By Skanska
Houston19514 replied to Moore713's topic in Going Up!
That's really cool. Apparently it was publicly funded. Send the idea to the Mayor's office, Houston First, Central Houston, Downtown TIRZ Here's some more info: New public artwork rises at the new City Light Denny Substation May 9, 2019 by Erika Lindsay Leave a Comment Denny Substation is now home to two incredible new public artworks, the towering Transforest by Lead Pencil Studio and a kinetic piece, Switchwall, by Ned Kahn. The Office of Arts & Culture (ARTS) worked with Seattle City Light to incorporate artworks and cultural planning that supports the utility’s mission and goals at the Denny Substation. ARTS worked with City Light and architects to develop a temporary art program prior to construction of the substation, and permanent art installations at the new facility that are responsive to the surrounding community and reinforce the public nature and essential function of the station.- 1,108 replies

I think they've affiliated with HCA Houston for that purpose.

Whoah... I don't think UH is building a hospital. Are they?
-
Here's something interesting from UH's website regarding their lobbying priorities: Medical Research Facility at TMC3 Fund debt service to construct facilities for medical and health-related innovations at the proposed TMC3 facility at the Texas Medical Center in Houston. These facilities will enable and promote entrepreneurship, including a close partnership between basic scientists, engineers, technologists, data experts, business disruptors and health care professionals.
-
alright then. :-) UH should update their website. ;-) Just curious, when was it constructed and where is it? In any event, I doubt it is the under-construction medical school building.
-
Maybe it is The Health and Biomedical Sciences Building 2. https://uh.edu/facilities-services/projects/in-design/HBSB2/

A bunch of good information and renderings on HOK's website: https://www.hok.com/projects/view/george-bush-intercontinental-airport-federal-inspection-services-building/

A couple more Fentress renderings, these are of the lower level, International Arrivals Hall, of the new Terminal D/E central processor, with a view upwards into the upper level ticketing hall.
-
Rendering from Fentress Architects showing new Terminal D/E central processor ticketing hall with view into the international arrivals hall below (this rendering is not necessarily completely up-to-date, but it shows the layout that is going to be built.) And we can see the C East parking through the glass wall.

Texas Tower: Office Skyscraper At 845 Texas Ave.
Houston19514 replied to democide's topic in Downtown
No, I don't see any indication that it's the same company. The Delilah's I linked has been operating since 1993. IntheKnow told us that the Delilah's being developed by What If Syndicate is a new concept currently under construction in Chicago. -

Texas Tower: Office Skyscraper At 845 Texas Ave.
Houston19514 replied to democide's topic in Downtown
It seems like they would have some trademark problems with the existing Delilah's in Chicago. http://www.delilahschicago.com -
What's your point? And what got you so fired up? Bizarre indeed. Fact: At the end of the ITRP project, passengers arriving from Terminal D/E will once again have direct access to (a) parking garage (b) taxis (c) Uber/Lyft (d) hotel/parking shuttles (e) rental car shuttles and (f) private cars without having to take the Subway. If you don't believe me, and don't want to spend the time in the documents to verify it, then you'll just have to wait until it's done to see that I was right all along.
