Does Hines have any plans for a residential tower in downtown? I've heard rumors that developers are sniffing around dafter seeing the success of One Park Place.
If you could afford a highrise condo- would you prefer to live in an isolated tower in uptown with freeway like-wide lanes at Wetsheimer and Post Oak....or downtown within walking distance of Discovery Green, Theater District, CBD, Minute Maid, Toyota Center, Dynamo Stadium, and mass transit that in a couple of years can get you around the urban core, including Hermann Park, Museum District and Reliant Park?
