lockmat Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 This area, standing in the middle of DG, is feeling awesome. I'd be a little surprised if this area doesn't start booming more than it already is if/when the market picks up again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate99 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Every flyover shot of Houston is going to zoom in on that pool deck. It struck me as hokey the first time I saw it, but count me as a convert; it looks very well executed. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Town Man Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Most anticipated swimming pool in Houston since Glenn McCarthy's pool at The Shamrock. This hotel will kind of be our closest thing to The Shamrock. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monarch Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 ^^^ @Mab props for sharing this most gorgeous illustration. i am stunned by how graceful and beautiful both BG PLACE and 609 MAIN are in this shot. also, just check out the intimate details of the LAZY RIVER pool itself from what we can see. it seems that the officials may have spared no expense here. this terrace is going to be a splendid masterpiece... 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are 25 you might live to see Detroit rebuilt into something fantastic. 55? You might live long enough to see the beginning of the change. Downtown Detroit is booming in redevelopment and renovations. My company (former in a few days) does a lot of work on projects in downtown detroit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
