bobruss Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Speaking of the Rustic, every time I drive by its got a fairly good crowd. Just goes to show you that it wasn't a bad location like some had suggested. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hindesky Posted January 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) A tower crane operator I know DM'ed me saying there was an accident with the tower crane sometime recently. He wasn't the operator but it's a tight network and they all know each other. "I heard one of the operators got a window rack tangled in some netting on the side of the bldg and lost the load. Job is shut down for now and has been for a few days." He said it fell on the Hilton but I'm guessing he meant the Embassy Suites because I didn't see any damage to the Hilton and it's pretty far away for something to fall on it. I saw workers on site so I'm guessing only the two town cranes are shut down till they investigate what happened.

Ehhh, I'm as die-hard a Houston evangelist as you'll find, but I think we're still in last place in that regard. Disco Green is great, Market Square is great, the northern blocks of Main are...well, certainly vibrant. But there are still sooo many acres of surface parking and so many lifeless parking garages here. I haven't spent much time in Dallas, so I may be wrong, but my sense from the Google Streetview machine is that it's at least more "filled out" than downtown Houston. We're making great progress, but there's still a big mountain left to climb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're making great progress, but there's still a big mountain left to climb. filled out and vibrant or not always the same thing... for example , I see nothing like main street in Dallas, and with the renewed interest in turning older buildings into residential, that could be a even bigger population boom for the DT area . DG green continues to have a massive effect on it area , it presence lead to the Hilton, The new Residential beside the Hilton, Shanka new tower( and possibly two more) ..plus another high rise or mid rise is planed in that area if memory serves.. the effect have created active clusters the a majority of the time.. That includes other parts of DT like Hermann square, that that park has become a active cluster itself..of high-rises now with the new park ..it only logical to assume we will see at some point it to have a effect on it immediate area.. and really there still huge swash of land on the post..it only a matter of time before a high rise or a hotel comes a knocking wanting to build on that land .. My honest prediction ( DT houston vastly surpass DT Dallas in the next decade ( baring economic chaos) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HtownWxBoy Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I'd definitely take density over height. Downtown Houston continues to improve but still has a long ways to go ... especially the southern part (which has improved in some areas over the past several years). My gym is the Downtown YMCA ... when working out you get a lovely view of an ugly, fenced in lot (Travis @ Pease) and from the parking garage you get an amazing view of Downtown's most iconic eyesore, the abandoned Days Inn. That all being said, Discovery West is looking so good rising above Disco Green .... that along with Parkside are such great additions to that part of Downtown. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
