I wonder what type of assumptions we can make about the leasing rates at The Ascent and Skyhouse 2 if they are already going ahead with this project? Does anyone know what the occupancy rates look like at those two relatively new buildings? I take it that they must be quite good if Hines thinks they...

I'll take it! Definitely nothing to write home about, but I'll consider this to be more of a top tier infill project rather than an iconic project. Those are really good quality renderings too, kudos to the design and marketing team for pumping those out.

Interesting proposal. I think the hardest part will be bridging Bachman lake. The road could be surface grade through most of the airport property and would just need to sneak underground for 1 or 2 taxi way alignments. I don't think the orientation of the new terminal building a huge deal as the no...

Has anyone seen the Trammel Crow development? I had high hopes for it as they had multiple tower cranes on the site and went reasonably far below grade for parking, so I was expecting something much, much larger/nicer/denser than what we ended up with. Even worse, the units that front Greenville loo...

Thanks for the good updates tanzoak. Interesting and important stuff for sure.

Thanks for the pics Kingpin. This thing seems like it's moving at like one floor a month...what gives??

The instagram account visitirvingtx just posted a bunch of videos from the (pre?)opening event that the new Whole Foods is hosting right now. Looks pretty nice (as is to be expected for a whole foods). For those that missed it: the grand opening for this location is tomorrow, 9/28. Finally!!

What do you guys think the effects of Houston's flooding might be on the local economy, short term? I have been looking for housing new the Lovers and 75 recently (The Village), and from what I can gather, vacancy in that area is less than 5pct. Anecdotally, rents in that area have risen ~50 percent...

So I'm not sure how deeply to read into this, but there is a small 'now hiring' banner hanging from the whole foods at 161 and macarthur. the site has been empty for the last few months after the ~1 month false start of activity in the spring.

http://dallas.towers.net/2017/03/22/creative-housing-for-creatives-flora-street-lofts/ Stantec and ADD Inc. designed the project and will oversee construction. Construction is expected to begin in the fourth quarter and reach completion in 2020. Nice find my man. Let's hope it's true.

Bumping this one back up - it had a scheduled start date of 'no later than July', as per the DMN article from March. Any movement at the proposed site?

Mmmm if Wells Fargo is on that list, their methodology must be realllllly messed up.

I'm not sure if they are going to start construction on the Canyon. I think TxDOT is debating different plans over the Canyon. The options they are considering includes demolishing the Canyon and rerouting 30 altogether. Not sure how that will pan out. But it's something they are seriously consider...

I could be wrong, but I believe the Lowest Stemmons Project is going to address some of this problem. ftp.dot.state.tx.us/pub/txdot-info/ocr/paved/lowest-stemmons.pdf I don't think this Lowest Stemmons project will address the issue that I'm talking about. That project terminates at the north part ...

So the project is essentially done as of now. What is everyone's thoughts on the outcome of this project? Generally, it appears to be a major improvement, but there is still one very significant bottle neck that this project appears to have made much, much worse, which is very (VERY) frustrating: wh...

I'm sure tenants will love driving in tight circles through 10 levels of parking to get in and out. This is a very annoying feature of some of these new buildings. 1920 mckinney is like this as well. it has something like 7 floors of parking? I go to it's we work location now and then and its such ...

Amazing to see this project come to fruition. Might not have been what everyone wanted to met the expectations that it originally set out with, but is still fantastic to see it finish out none the less

homeworld1031tx

Very nice. Surprised to see them installing the glass by crane. That must be a pain.

A new crane went up today right next door to this. Anyone have any idea what it's for? Does it have something to do with the aa center garage improvements?

A forty story tower that only costs 25 million? That doesn't sound right

Great to hear. Quick question - what started the little burst of density at that intersection (Pittman and W Commerce). Was it just Chicken Scratch/The Foundry? It seems like there is a little pocket neighborhood of apartments that has blossomed around that storefront. Is there something else that I...

That design looks like a 60-40 grass to concrete ratio. What's wrong with a simple, green park?

Counterpoint: whats wrong with plazas?

Any updates on this one?

homeworld1031tx

Completely forgot about this one since it took them forever to start one it after they had cleared the land (what was it that they built first again - a dog kennel?) Glad to see that it's well on its way up.

This one is turning out much better than I had anticipated. I remember how much concern we all had because they wouldn't release a rendering. Not saying it's anything spectacular but it's nice enough and I love the height! Definitely agree. Not gorgeous or anything special but definitely a nice add...

Just for a quick comparison, this is what the site looks like on at 1920x1200 res screen, with no zoom options enabled either in windows or in the browser. definitely better, but most of the points still have bearing. Also, there is no easy navigation options to go back once you're within a thread. ...

FIRST THINGS FIRST: Ctroy, thank you so much for getting the site back online. I'm a huge fan of the site and have been a daily user for the last 7 or so years - which I think shows how much value I attribute to the site and its content. That being said (uh oh...), I think there's a good conversatio...
