That sign has been there forever. Hope it is something moving forward. Build it...

Dude, that sign has been there for at least a year, if not more. lol Oh and Im glad to see that at least some buildings in Houston are getting preserved. Too bad about the old ymca structure. Its such a loss.

Guess I've been living under a rock...

Embassy Suites is supposed to break ground next month!? For real? Where did you find this out?

Reverberation · #**2465** Posted **Apr 3, 2009, 5:06 PM**

FYI, that project at Yorktown & Westheimer is pretty much done. The new building structure at Memorial City is topped out and there are a few hotels going up in the EC. One @ Park 10 and the other adjacent to Technip @ Kirkwood.

But what ever thats life I guess, at least thats what i keep telling my self to keep me sane...

ps - It was some great shots of the city...

i definitely am with you on the job thing - but i think the jobs available in houston are specific professional/administrative jobs - I'm just not seeing much in the way of typical jobs, e.g. coffee shops - and I look everyday

Cranes...

rdavis4559 · #**2468** Posted **Apr 7, 2009, 1:05 PM**

There is a small crane on the roof as well but I could not get it in the shot from my vantage point.

It's not a crane, but a concrete pumping device. They're raised from floor to floor as they are completed.

Thanks for the photo of the Ideson expansion. I've always gone by too quickly to get a good view of it.

ALL SYSTEMS GO on Regent Square. City approves project and give generous tax break. A residential high-rise will grace Allen Parkway!

can't wait to see the renderings!

YAY, I sure hope we start to see some action at that site now and there are already renders for Regent Square.

It looks like the old Astroworld site will be home to millions of square feet in office and retail space. Looks like two, I repeat, TWO (2) towers standing between 40 and 50 stories will be the centerpiece of the development. This came from HAIF...

(Look for the video at the bottom of the link)

Wow, that looks incredible!

Complex01 · #**2477** Posted **Apr 13, 2009, 3:02 AM**

Wow that looks really intresting. Nice find...

Saddle Man · #**2478** Posted **Apr 13, 2009, 3:34 AM**

Those buildings look like doctored version of the Anadarko Tower.

raskacielos-houston · #**2479** Posted **Apr 13, 2009, 2:05 PM**

Go to their website and on the right side there's the Video, it's really awesome,

Seems kind of a weird place to me to put something that big. Does it to anybody else? I'd like to see them along 59 somewhere (Greenway Plaza) or along the west loop. Oh well...

Uhhh, I went to a dentist appointment the other day in Vision Park (between Research Forest Dr. and 242) and noticed a sign for a 200,000 10-story midrise in Shenendoah. Looks like it's all systems go with this building too!
