TJones Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Watermark is nearly bankrupt, so the prime real estate he was sitting on there just may save his whole restaurant venture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncertaintraveler Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 (edited) Anyone know what the price range is on the Cosmopolitan? I looked at the website, but couldn't find anything. Er....nevermind....I called the office and, of the two floorplans I'm interested, one is sold out and there are only two available of my other favorite--both in the 600K range, with a $600 a monthly fee.

what Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 You see, there's a philosophy by some that virtually any and every highrise tower, be it residential or commercial, should be built in the "center" of the city. In Houston, this causes quite a bit of frustration for people who adhere to this philosophy. I imagine they're often ill-tempered as a result.In either case, the Uptown/Post Oak/Galleria area is a no brainer for more upscale highrise construction. The location has established itself. The money is there. The amenities are there. I'd be an utter nut to not acknowledge the benefits that a developer would reap if he were to plan and construct a highrise residential tower in this area of the city.Doesn't mean that DT does have the potential either, but the bottom line, repeated over and over again within the market, is that DT is more speculative, and with speculative projects, it's probably a better idea to make price an inticement rather than a potential obstacle for your potential customer.The Cosmopolitan would be a high-risk development in the DT of today.i was wondering if you had ever sold/leased a property for someone else other than yourself, because in reading your posts it stands out that you don't seem to have any real sales experience. sorry, but it really does seem like this to me.

mls1202 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 The thing that bugs me about this building is the presence of the parking garage at the bottom next to Post Oak Blvd. I would hope a building like this would embrace a pedestrian environment with retail at the bottom. Instead, it is a mass of concrete...Oh well, still happy to see it going up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could take Memorial to 610, using the feeder road to Post Oak Blvd. Would be fairly short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
