Or , are folks already moving in?End of this month is when folks start moving in. There were some additional delays that pushed everything back. But this is supposed to be the last delay.

por favor gracias Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I agree, really cheap landscaping too (so far?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Is the area/ "park" in question the portion to the south of Skyhouse? If so that's always been surface parking I believe. Or has been marked as so in the plans for quite a while. Though there was supposed to be some mini dog park area somewhere I thought?

monarch Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 actually, things are now looking up a bit. there is much more painting (earth tones) of the exposed cement than we anticipated. this effect actually creates a warmer / cleaner feel throughout. the completed exterior is actually growing upon me.. well done triton!

That's great news!Soon there will be several hundred new downtown residents!That will improve the resident to urine&sweat smelling vagrant ratio by just a little bit more!Whoooot! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alec Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Ah, so some people are "pollution."Good to know.Certain behaviors are social pollution. If 1 in 10 people smell like urine, people avoid the area. If 1 in 100, that's just city life. I challenge you to find a homelessness or mental illness advocacy organization that celebrates social isolation; mixing is good and dilution of antisocial behavior helps that to happen.

It smells like urine, trash, or vomit on practically every corner with "homeless vagrants" rampant up and down the streets, but people still congregate in the city..

Everyone will benefit if Houston can do the same downtown. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLan34 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) I want to know how well this fills up. Fast might mean more stuff for DT. http://www.bisnow.com/commercial-real-estate/houston/2520-the-future-of-downtown/ "SkyHouse Houston's construction cam in 1301 Fannin caught this happenin' corner. Residents started moving into SkyHouse last month—we don't see anyone on that rooftop tennis court just yet, but Novare tells us it's ahead of schedule on leasing and meeting rent projections. (We hear it's asking about $2.50/SF.)" Edited August 14, 2014 by DrLan34 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLan34 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 What metrics should be used on:1. Rentals2. Condos For example, do you say rentals will be successful if in 6 months they are 60 percent full and 90 percent full in 12 months? Or due to various prices for different floor plans another metric is used? I would like to learn how this stuff is calculated so I can make a mental note of which towers are successful and which are not. Also, is there a retailer(s) open in Skyhouse on the bottom or will there be? Just curious would like to hear how this much vaunted ground floor retail performs once it comes on line in a few dozen examples being completed soon. I talked to a 30 something dude at the Dog Park yesterday about Texas, he was down for some training all summer in Houston and mentioned just doing a good walk for 20 minutes and he was always soaked by the time he arrived at his destination - a real problem with work clothes. I guess if I walk in DC from Metro Center to say the W Hotel Roof bar, that isn't a problem with urban canyons, trees, and shade to hide in all over the place. We need to be strategic with our sidewalks, landscaping, and building overhangs to provide the best amount of shade - particularly downtown. When walking in the heart of downtown, the shade from all the surrounding buildings really helps. No GFR yet as I just walked by yesterday. I am interested to know if anything is planned as well...
