    Just curious about this tower? Did they not consider the Embassy Suites views? Now the visitors to ES have nothing to look at except the walls of this new building. I am wondering how enticing it will be now to get visitors to stay in this hotel with basically view of the city or downtown.

    Does anyone have any information on the Arches over 59 lighting. It seems that they have all but let them go and it is beginning to look very tacky tacky at night. They are starting to have the resemblance of that old neon tavern sign that is half lit and blinking like it is ready to go out. For a while, Post 2017 and pre-covid, Houston seemed like it had invested in itself on more monuments and appearance. Well, it seems like they have given up now. If anyone has any intel on this or if there are plans to improve this, it would be much appreciated.

    You sound like the safety police 😄, but ok. I see what you're saying. Maybe it will be overall for better for the city of Houston, but that view coming into downtown from 45 will be severely diminished by paralleling it with 59.

    I am kind of with Ross, but I'm kind of not. Tearing down Pierce will take away one of the most majestic views in the entire state, which will be a major loss for the city of Houston. But i'm all for burying or capping parts of the 59, more specificially by George R. Brown which will connect downtown with the rest of East downtown (Eado).

    So no one else is noticing that this is appearing to be another B.S. suburban style development for Midttown🤢? Please tell me I'm missing something.

    It's in the Austin section, is it not?

    Being semi-envious and semi- dirty, I keep checking this thread with some hopes of an announcement that there have been some kind of changes to the proposed height of this building that finds it unattainable.😁 But oh well. Wishful thinking. I just have to accept that Houston's days of being the Texas's tallest city are numbered. ..

    Whats the plan for the willy Wonka chocolate river? I don't see the ugly brown bayou being in any postcards or views that aren't strictly photoshopped.

    Any chance that this might get scaled down? 😄 Or does that only happen in Houston's projects? ( Hello Embassy Suites Downtown, Memorial Herman Tower memorial city, Dallas street,, Regent Square). J/K. Congratulations to Austin. Austin will take the crown from Houston on this one, just like they did when the State capitol moved there.

    It's not even about the niceness of the hotel that I was speaking of. It was the fact that they messed up the urban continuity of Discovery Green by having the butt end of that blank back wall facing the park. That was bad planning to have the back of the structure facing an urban park. This Skanska development seems to be minimizing the whole E/S development and all of the design flaws that came with it.

    I hate to sound like the downer here, but is Houston ever going to get any developments near downtown that are more centered and catered to entertainment for the masses? Not saying that a golf course is not entertainment, but it serves a certain demographic. From what I see, It just seems like the main tenants are a dentistry and a lickem' ice cream parlor. It's just hard to get too excited about that. The golf course will be a good addition, but I guess I just want to see a little bit more. It would be great to see more on plans on how they can better utilize the Bayou. Like some talks of some boat tours or water taxi connections between ER and downtown. Maybe throw in a comedy club in there somewhere somewhere. On a positive note, Midway usually has a good reputation. This place was being advertised as being Houston's version of a Riverwalk but right now, It still feels so.... business oriented!

    This is probably one of the projects that is really set to really transform downtown. And most of all, the best part of it, we finally get a chance to hand the Embassy Suites hotel's ass back to them. Literally! 😁
