Not really look at pics of dubai from 1980, to now... major cities have sprung up over the world in as little as 15 yrs.. so a continuous growth could see downtown and the med connection within ten

But this is not Dubai. That kind of growth is completely unrealistic for Houston.

Continuous growth is not going to fill that gap in 15 years. It's going to take an economic explosion; you're delusional if you think otherwise. Look how long it has taken Midtown to get to where it is now. It's not plausible.

You mean ten years with a economic downturn in the nation. . I grew up in what midtown when it was still third ward.. I remember what a waste land it was during the early 2000.. now 13 yrs later ..on top of a national economic crisis. .it still having a ridiculous amount of growth, and dozens of projects still sitting in the pipe line

while i agree that Midtown won't ever have a "skyline" like Downtown or the TMC, the gap between the two skylines is undoubtedly being bridged with new high-rises.

as for Midtown, the "weakest link" to bridging that gap.. a subdivision plat was filed very recently for a new 400 unit residential tower with an estimated completion of January 2018.
