Another guy over on HAIF today said he has heard rumors about something being proposed for Houston that will be the tallest in the state. He's not sure if it's the same project though. Also doesn't know if it will be large as initially planned. A planning commission member has also heard rumors of a super-tall but nothing submitted yet. Other than that, nothing really new.

It would be nice, but it's tough to find a tenant for that much real-estate, and there are still the same airspace issues that killed the last proposal.

Last week I went to a workshop and saw a lot of architect plans, each labeled with the architect firm that it was designed by, to my surprise I saw basically every rendering of proposed Houston project and some new ones that I am dying to share with you guys. Also I will be going this Friday to see if I can find anything about a supertall for Houston.

I just wanted to say I'm in Downtown Houston RIGHT NOW as I type this, oh my gosh, IT'S CROWDED AS HELL ALL OVER DOWNTOWN. Not just the convention and sports areas but all of it.

I'm here for the Korean Festival and there's also a boxing match at Toyota Center.

IT SHOULD BE LIKE THIS EVERYDAY. That new infill will help tremendously.
