swtsig Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 this is an awesome looking building. a part of me likes that it stands out so much since it's pretty much alone in that area but i think i'd prefer it more in a denser or even just different area. either in uptown near 610 or along allen parkway/memorial. regardless it is a great looking tower. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmitch94 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I do like this tower but I notice from a distance the rails blend into the building and it loses its "waterfall" effect. Going up 59 north it looks pretty plain from a distance. I think it would have looked better if the rails were more contrasting like a solid white. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamHouston Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) After having gone several times to visit my sister at this building I've noticed they've had several construction issues. Multiple floors flooded recently after a few pipes burst; affected tenants were offered to walk away from their lease at no penalty or be moved to a different floor. The patio area on the ninth floor has a fairly large water wall that wasn't installed correctly and is now having to be completely rebuilt. The gas fire pit area is about to be replaced for the third time. They have yet to get all the elevators working. Last I was there 2 were functional and everyone seemed to be excited about having more than one. I've also noticed some concrete walls to be uneven in several areas, enough for it to be noticeable even with a quick glance. The trim and paint on many of the apartment doors and surrounding walls seems to have been cut and painted far too quickly; takes away from there being a quality feel. When I first visited this place everything seemed amazing about it, but the more often I go the more corners I notice have been cut.

lockmat Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 What an awesome skirt. It belongs in the galleria area or downtown. For now, the architecture of this tower is so above it's "urban" setting. Hopefully that changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechlin Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Unfortunately, the side facing downtown is the ugliest side of it, but at night it still looks nice with all the lights on the balconies. Sorry for the potato quality shot, but I had to zoom in to get it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drecey Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I didn't get a good picture as I was driving to the galleria. I was going to snap a better picture when I was on my way back home, but the lights were off by that time. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
