Serious question - were these taken from a drone or a helicopter? (saw one parked in about this exact vantage point for a while today around the time these were posted)

The ones on the streets have the potential to get into shelters as it is, they just don't for drug or mental health reasons. That jail is one of the few exceptions to the rule that anything is better than a surface parking lot.

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/Skanska-plans-28-story-office-building-next-to-15867313.php#photo-20488083 From the article: "Norton Rose Fulbright, which has signed a long-term lease agreement, expects to relocate to the new office building in 2024, at which time it will acquire naming rights to the tower. Until then, Skanska is calling the development 1550 on the Green. ....... The project, which is being designed by BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group, will feature tree-lined pedestrian zones and two roof terraces dedicated to tenants on the 12th and 20th floors. The building will have 7,000 square feet of ground-floor retail."

Yeah that blows. -
Sounds like this is the big time news. That is awesome. This will help to mitigate the look of the Embassy Suites from Disco Green.

Chris Shepherd coming to downtown is huge news for me personally but I don't know if that is the pretty big announcement. I'm hoping for new apts or a grocery store...
-
Yeah that's a bad look.
-
The concrete edges will though. We took my three year old here the day it opened. It looks sort of cool but calling it a kids play structure is a stretch.

Concrete cornered play structures at falling height, Mihalic must have read about kids in a book once.

With Dean's closed, they have been able to set up an actual storefront. TBH, it's much more professional now.

Courthouse is adding elevators and modernizing/fixing crappy design. 4th crane is an apartment complex close to Irma's. There are threads for both but I'm like real lazy.

The uptick in the homeless population is likely going to be a large problem for the downtown apartment market. It seems like ever since they put up the fencing underneath 59 near Franklin, that massive homeless camp has just moved into random corners of downtown. I've been down here for 6 years and have never really had areas that I fully avoided due to panhandlers. There are several areas now that I hesitate to walk by. I'm still confident in downtown residential over the long run but with so many homeless, no yards to spend time in with everything closed, and with the current status of working from home, I think that occupancy numbers are going to fall sharply for a period.

I still think that it will do a good deal for extending the width of the skyline from that angle. Remember, when you look at that picture, that it will be about the exact same height as the old Continental building.

Quite the opposite, not a fan of La Madeleine at all and I think it would do horribly in that spot.
