NOLA Riverfront Expressway

(Tunnel under the Rivergate)

The unfinished Drive Shack (think wannabe Top Golf) where the Times-Picayune building was alongside I-10.

Chelsea’s new stadium. 40+k seat stadium for a major English soccer team in london right next to downtown. Announced and models built and I think one house they needed to buy wouldn’t budge and then it totally lost steam and as far as i know has been totally scrapped.

Stamford bridge is a classic EPL stadium and wouldve Been totally torn down.

EarthQuest Adventures Theme Park - This was supposed to be a huge $500M dinosaur themed amusement park to be located near New Caney, Texas (near Houston)



I couldn't remember the name, but it seems like some mega theme park gets rumored in New Caney every few years. Everything from new Disney to Margaritaville. I assume there's some old speculator out there who knows how to market ideas to local news reporters but can't get anyone to buy his land.

Texas supercollider

quote:

When canceled, about 20 percent of the SSC was complete—specifically, two dozen kilometers of tunnel had been drilled with 17 access shafts, and 18,600 square meters of buildings erected. Over $2 billion had already been spent, mostly by the DoE, but also $400 million by the state of Texas.

It broke ground but Wade Park in Frisco was a pretty big recent bust to the tune of like 2B Although I think they just announced a new development proposal (like 3B) to replace it


I worked on this from the time my client bought the farmland. Did the construction contracts and a lot of leases.

Anywho.
