Turnberry Tower: Turning Away?

Proposed Turnberry Tower, Uptown, Houston

From the Swamplot rumor mill comes an unconfirmed and second-hand report: that the team behind proposed Houston Turnberry Tower — the 34-story luxury highrise planned to rest just behind the Williams Tower — “officially pulled the plug on their galleria deal yesterday.”

Could this be true? A lot of hard work — and a lot of plumbing design — has been poured into that project. It would be sad to see it all go down the toilet.

Late Update: The rumor has been confirmed.

    From Howard Hughes:

    If they don’t kill it, their heirs will.

    Glad they killed it before we got another luxury rental high rise.

    I am so disappoint, Houston can use an upscale High Rise like Turnberry Tower.
