It's at least a bit encouraging to see the City (or whomever) enforcing some standards on a contractor. Too often it seems they just let them get by with shoddy work (See, for example, the recent work on Richmond).

Parkside Residences: Multifamily High-Rise At 808 Crawford St.
Houston19514 replied to largeTEXAS's topic in Downtown
Basically correct, but I don't think it was the architect's doing (and it wasn't Hess). I think it was the Downtown Redevelopment Authority that encouraged/convinced Trammel Crow, the developer of the Hess Tower, to leave that space for a residential tower.- 1,224 replies

Pearl Rosemont: Multifamily At 102 Dennis St.
Houston19514 replied to skooljunkie's topic in Going Up!
FWIW, the information I can find shows a total Houston Parks & Recreation Dept budget in 2019 of about $92.5 Million. The $77 Million is close to the "General Budget" number, but that does not comprise the entire P&R Budget.- 286 replies

Pearl Rosemont: Multifamily At 102 Dennis St.
Houston19514 replied to skooljunkie's topic in Going Up!
So, let's say your presumption is correct and none of Ft Bend County's parkland is in the Houston city limits and we subtract 2,023 acres from the total. I believe Lake Houston Wilderness Park is more like 5,000 acres, not 10,000. So even if we remove the Ft Bend acres, Lake Houston Wilderness Park and George Bush Park, that still leaves Houston with 35,609 acres compared to Chicago's 12,917. And see my subsequent post, above- 286 replies

Pearl Rosemont: Multifamily At 102 Dennis St.
Houston19514 replied to skooljunkie's topic in Going Up!
According the Trust for Public Lands, Houston has 53,134 acres of park (23.4 acres per 1,000 residents) within the city limits Chicago has 12, 917 acres (4.7 acres per 1,000 residents). In number of parks, Chicago has 2.8 parks per 10,000 residents, Houston has 2.6 per 10,000. TPL also measures the percentage of residents within 1/2 mile of a park. On that measure we don't do as well (as was mentioned above). In the linked 2016 study, we are only at 48%. It would be interesting to see an update on this; Presumably all of the bayou greenways being developed will bring a bunch more of our residents within that 1/2 mile (and will also further our strength in acres per capita.)- 286 replies

I guess we've also learned that the Fiesta store at Patton and Fulton was never a Kroger, but was instead formerly a Rice grocery store.- 333 replies

I'm pretty sure that "Conceptual Theater Interior" is a photo of the Alley Theatre's Hubbard Theatre. Happily the site has been updated with a new interior rendering.- 10 replies

Brava: Multifamily High-Rise At 414 Milam St.
Houston19514 replied to brijonmang's topic in Going Up!
Not just Dallas. They want a distinctive name and they realized there are apartment buildings all over the country with the Preston name, including San Antonio (and the little sister up north). If one does a google search, one can see what they mean; there are apartment buildings with Preston in their name in almost every significant city one can think of.- 1,068 replies

Is there any explanation of how it is supposed to work to widen and deepen the channel to speed the outflow, but only do so to approximately Studemont, if I understand correctly? Won't that create/add to huge flooding events in the Studemont-Shepherd area?
