Great updates Wattleigh |
They are great updates. Med Center is just booming along. Its great to know that its keep Houston going...
:tup: |
The construction is very exciting but I would rather see the buildings in all glass rather than that beige stone. I know there is a shortage of materials but it seems other cities have just gone to all glass as a alternative to the beige stuff. I find the new buildings in the Memorial City area to be tragic.

Ohh there is going to be a new crane downtown and its gonna be blue. Very Kewl. I wander how tall its going to be... :tup: |
I really hate the new Downtown YMCA. We're going to lose a historic 11 story tower by one of Houston's greatest architects for a generic 3 story that looks like it could go in Pearland, The Woodlands, or Sugar Land just as easily as downtown Houston. A real shame.

Is Westin in Seabrook still in the works? I've found more renderings that was'nt posted here; the one that was posted here looks to be slighty diffrent from the one I found.
Old rendering: http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w...rSeabrook1.jpg New Rendering: http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ickYah57/A.jpg Additional Renderings: http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ear-Lake-1.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ear-Lake-2.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ear-Lake-3.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ear-Lake-6.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ear-Lake-7.jpg |

The crane is up fro the YMCA downtown...

So, is 6 Houston Centre dead or what? It was supposed to start construction last year but it never happened. :( Also, what happened with the downtown La Quinta Inn? I guess that one fell through the gaps too. Dammit, this economy bs really is getting on my nerves.

-6 Houston Center->Dead -La Quinta Inn->Still in the works maybe? Idk but, there's good news... Quote:
http://www.wedgerealestateholdings.com/development.html http://www.wedgerealestateholdings.com/images/dev1.jpg This development will kill another parking lot if built. :) |
Oh yes another parking lot bites the dust. Hopefully...
:tup: |
Wow! Awesome, if 6 Houston Center is dead than I dont care because the side of town where that hotel is going needs to lose some freakin parking lots. Thats all that side of town is is parking lots and decaying abandoned buildings that were built in the 50s. eeewww

MC is looking nice and so is Hess Tower.!!! but the Museum New Wing is kinda of plain:( I really don't like it for that area, it could of had a little bit more design to it..but oh well..
I was in downtown today and I saw that the old library is being remodel, ? they are taking the bricks down..does any one know anything about this? |

ah ok thanks:)

ABC World News was in Houston today and tomorrow. They had some great skyline shots...
:tup: |
YES! I saw that. Man, that closing aerial over downtown was sweet. Texan empire. :cool:

Looks like Charlie Gibson was at one of those vantage points on Allan Parkway. I'm wondering, though...it was just as windy there as here today, but I didn't notice his clothes or hair blowing around. Did you? I'm wondering if they superimposed him on the background. About 20 years ago, there was an international political summit at Rice Universtiy, and there was an article in the paper regarding how superimposing is often done in news reports (it was apparently done at the Rice summit). I would think it would be easy to do. |
I watched it. Not superimposed.
|
Here's a video link of some of those skyline shots, and an interesting 3 or 4 minute video about Houston's booming economy for those of you, who like me, missed yesterday's ABC broadcast.

^^^thanks for the link...nice shots in there!!!!

New Dynamo stadium is nearly a done deal
HOUSTON -- It looks like the Houston Dynamo are finally going to get their new stadium. They cleared the last big hurdle this week by getting funding from a Spanish bank based in Madrid. The Dynamo is paying about $60 million toward the cost of the $80 million stadium. The City of Houston and Harris County will pick up the rest of the tab, chipping in $10 million each. The stadium will be built across Highway 59 from Minute Maid Park where the Houston Astros play. It will seat 21,000 fans and will have around 35 suites. The Dynamo say they hope to keep the average ticket price under $20. Construction will begin in the fall and is expected to take about 18 months. The Dynamo plan to play their season opener at the new stadium in 2011. TSU will also play its home football games at the stadium. http://www.khou.com/topstories/stori....694b5ecd.html |
Financing for Dynamo stadium still up in air
Team says agreement in place, but officials say nothing imminent http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/6339016.html |
