Downtown Apartment/Occupancy numbers from 4/21 per TheSirDingle @ HAIF

Quote:
Residential Market

Occupancy Rate: 84.1%

Note: This is up dramatically from the previous quarter low of 82.2%, I'm projecting it be up to 87% by the end of summer.

Residential Units: 6,279 units

Under Construction: 1,317 units

Note: This includes The Brava (373 units), Trammell Crow (309 units), Sovereign (229 units), Fairfield (286 units), and Mckee City Living (120 units). A pretty significant lineup to look forward to.

Planned: 275 units

Note: don't know what this one is, but I assume it's a low ball considering the updates going around the forum.

Looks like everything should be going back to normal, I'm expecting foot traffic and in-office occupancy to be back to, or close to normal later this year.

Downtown Houston has been through a residential high-rise boom throughout the 2010s. I love seeing it.

I definitely see it in comparing skyline pics from a few years back. I'm sure the boom will continue.

It looks like they're planning to remove the spires from the Fannin Tower in the Texas Medical Center. Wtf?

I wonder if they would replace them with purely ornamental spires. Otherwise, it will substantially alter the aesthetic of the O’Quinn Medical Tower which was meant to like a pair of hypodermic needles

That would be awful. Such an iconic building and spires. My Dad always used it as a landmark when telling people how to get somewhere near the building ("just past the building with the needles on top").

Or St. Luke's Medical Tower as it was first known. I've decided building name changes are meant to reveal how long someone has been somewhere and how old they are. And when you can no longer keep up it means you're really old. I can't keep up any longer.

I know. That sucks. The first time I visited Houston, it was one of the buildings I was looking forward to seeing. It's also really cool looking at night all it up and the white beacons up there. It totally sucks that they'd do that.

My favorite view ever of it was in a Southwest Airlines jet flying over it at night. Got to see Transco, the Hypodermic Needles and Downtown all on the way to Hobby.

I worked in the TMC for years so I was up on all the changes going on around there and the people buildings were named after...

The original plan was for two more towers just like the existing one. As much as I've always admired the building, three would have been overkill.
