cloud713 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) wow, this is fantastic!it just hit me.. this should be the tallest residential tower in the city, since 2929 Weslayan was going to be tallest, but its "only" 40 stories.

Possibly. 4 Leaf Towers are +40 floors, but the Huntingdon is taller and has held the title since It's completion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayouCityMan Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Hmmmm . . . so many possibilities style-wise . . . This one will stand out as much as (if not more than) 2929 Weslayan . . . The spoiled brat in me wishes this was being built in the CBD. Images from Google. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TowerSpotter Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) The tower on the right looks like a snake that just had a meal! To me it looks like it was a twisting object that someone squeezed from the middle causing it to look mashed.

crunchtastic Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Hi - when I come out to check this blog my expectation is to hear things related to arcitecture and new projects coming to Houston, not how to use English correctly. If you are not going to stick to the purpose of this blog do not make ridiculous comments. And my expectation when I visit HAIF is that some random FNG has got slightly more snap than thinking he's entitled to opine on the rulz his very first post. Although I must say, I envy your ability to hear things on HAIF. Most of us only read them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I was told that the details regarding this tower should be on the Museum Park Neighborhood Association's website soon. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) Looks like this tower has been reduced to 22-stories after concerns that the building will dwarf surrounding buildings: http://www.museumparkna.org/Resources/Documents/MPNA%20Position%20Statement%20-%20July%2025,%202013.pdf Edit: I inferred the ''reduced'' part based on the article.
