He was an active member on the old forum. He revitalized two buildings that would be still empty today.

muncien wrote:Wow... I must be out of it, because I think this looks pretty darn good. And the way it interacts with the street seems well done. Plus, I don't think we have EVER seen any proposal for these parking lots previously. Bringing development further in that direction would be a HUGE boost. Love it.
Plus... Unlike 70 story towers, this one actually seems in the realm of reality.
CORRECTION: Just ready dfwCreative post... I guess there was a proposal for this plot. But, I'm certainly glad to see this development instead of that one. I'm not saying we don't need transitional or affordable housing. I'm just not a fan of clumping it into the CBD. I don't think the feds are either from what we've been hearing...

DPatel304 wrote:I'm happy with this news. Yes, this development doesn't compare to what we've been seeing in Victory Park and Uptown, but this area isn't even close to being on the same level as those two neighborhoods. Plus, it's not like there is a shortage of empty land that we need to be sure to use wisely. There are a ton of surface parking lots, so, for now, I'm just happy to see them replaced with something that isn't horribly suburban (which this isn't at all). In 5-10 years, when Downtown is more lively and there are (hopefully) less empty lots available, I'll start holding developers to higher standards, but this particular project will breathe a small bit of space in a dead part of Downtown and will hopefully encourage more development.

two out of how many? and even though two on which he has "made good" have not turned out quite like he initially announced.

JohnMcKee wrote:Yeah, f the constitution as long as we turn a parking lot into a hotel.
There is a lot to process here between general conflicts of interest in general not to mention specific ones dealing with Turkey, but ask yourself, why would this mediocre hotel proposal claiming to be targeting mid-range business travelers in honestly not the most desirable location be flagged by a management company with no meaningful points program?
