All true. Although my target wasn't so much the initial attack as it was the rush to save Ric Campo by annihilating the attacker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFootsSocks Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Yeah the target of your posts really need to quit using logic and common sense in their posts. Really irritating when that gets in the way of "I don't care if it doesn't make sense I just want a big tall tower" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you. His projects are eye gauging but he's catering to his audience. When you get a chance browse zillow for +$1mil homes and get a first hand glance at what kind of taste these people have. It's a fine line between Steamboat House & Hotel Granduca. His execution is perfect when viewed at his target. Excellent business strategy. Edit: H-town was that article mentioning this forum or swamplot? I feel there is more pettiness & snark there versus here where we maintain grace & civility 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Its a fact, that a very infinitesimal number of people have good taste, but that doesn't mean you can't raise the bar. They can do whatever gaudy thing they want inside their four walls to create their masterpiece of funk, but why take it out on everyone? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kbates2 Posted July 29, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2017 From the transcript: "Based on our view that there will be limited completions and competition from new developments in 2019 and 2020, we’ve decided to go forward with the construction of our Downtown Houston project, Camden Downtown. Construction will begin in the fourth quarter of this year with lease-up beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019 and stabilization expected in 2020. Camden Downtown represents a counter-cyclical opportunity to lock in construction costs at a time when it’s difficult for developers to get equity or construction financing." 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Does Camden still qualify for the $15,000 per unit tax abatement for this? I thought there was a deadline date to qualify. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockmat Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 There is a garage entrance on the west and north side. Why not put the north entrance on the east side which faces the Toyota Center garage? Instead it's facing the park. Doesn't make much sense to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will likely come with a monthly bill that I would need to mug Bill Gates to afford! Oh well. Maybe I will head over for a tour when they begin leasing in a few years so I can see the views of the "lucky few"!

Ha, I rented at Camden Travis street back in 2014, I had picked the side that faces downtown specifically. It was like $200 a month extra. The following year they raised my rent $250 MORE. I bought a house 3 months later. $1700 rent at that point was too much. I only imagine that those units will be upwards of like $2500 or more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am told that high rise rentals in downtown start at about $2200 and head up to about $6000 (and possibly more for large units at OPP).

Purdueenginerd Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 This makes me curious how that can be sustained other than through corporate deals. It seems like theres not a lot of condo's within downtown and I feel like that would balance out these units a bit. When property owners start renting out their own units, I'm sure the market would get more competitive. $6000 a month, for a rental-- and its not even a house. Like wow. I could stay in a hotel for $200 a night (200*30 = $6000), and someone would at least do my sheets every day. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmitch94 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I had heard, don't quote me one this, that the penthouses in OPP can be between $10-$15,000. That's like buying a house every year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
