WestMont: Mixed-Use Development Coming To Montrose
por favor gracias replied to groovehouse's topic in Going Up!
I would love to see this as well, along with some really nice landscaping. I remember bobruss mentioning a year or two ago how he envisioned Montrose Blvd having a roundabout at Westheimer & Montrose and art all along the corridor between Allen Pkwy and Mecom Fountain...and I to this day I think that's a great idea. Certain thoroughfares like Main St, (lower) Westheimer and Montrose should have first class mobility, light synchronization, road smoothness, signage, surface markings and landscaping. -

It's funny how even other developers are chipping in to cover up those RD garages.- 130 replies

You can see the Texas Tower peeping out in the downtown pic, closing up that gap coming in from 288.

Texas Tower (Block 58) By Hines, 47-Story Office Tower
por favor gracias replied to democide's topic in Going Up!
The new 45 Northbound to 59/288 Southbound ramp is pretty awesome too, and it's also elevated for a good while before you get to the ramp itself. The 610 Ship Channel bridge also has a great view.- 1849 replies

McNair Plaza: Mixed-Use At Post Oak And Richmond
por favor gracias replied to ENGcons's topic in Going Up!
I would have liked to have seen the new Transit Center built where Chick-Fil-A/Best Buy are, and in a still imperfect, but better world keep them both for GFR and have a pedestrian bridge over Richmond Ave to the McNair development. Would have made for a shorter trip down the BRT line and could have tied this area together nicely and spurred more vertical development nearby.- 500 replies

BLVD Place / Hanover Towers / Apache HQ Developments
por favor gracias replied to Subdude's topic in Going Up!
I ordered to go from this location about a month ago, and I got chicken fajitas w/ refried beans and rice, and I was honestly stunned by how bad the refried beans were. I'm not exaggerating or being hysterical when I say they literally tasted like the inside of my mouth after I've thrown up in the past. I couldn't even eat them. The rice was below average, not at all like I remember from any other Ninfa's location I've ever eaten at, which is at least 7 or 8 locations. The chips and salsa were okay, but nothing special. The chicken fajitas were about the same as I remember. They were pretty da- 2293 replies

The Allen: Allen Parkway/Gillette Mixed-Use 6-Acres
por favor gracias replied to jmontrose's topic in Going Up!
This shot is actually at least a few years old as several towers are missing. 609 Main isn't up (or at least completed) yet. I'd love to see what this shot looks like in 20, 50 and 100 years from now.- 897 replies

There are several videos on YouTube if you type in "Memorial Park Houston 2010" (or earlier) that show how many more trees there were, primarily from the biking trails. Here's a few pics I came across during/after that drought.

I'm glad they're working on this area. That part of the park may have been the hardest hit from the drought back in 2011, and quite frankly, it's depressing for me when I pass by knowing what was there before. I never saw the Transco Tower from that part of Memorial before they cut all those dead pines down, and now you can see a lot of Uptown from there. I remember we were rationing water at the time, but to this day, I can't fathom letting so many trees in our prize park die like that. I always thought a city like New York would never let something like that happen to Central Par

Emancipation Center: Dowling At Elgin St.
por favor gracias replied to Urbannizer's topic in Going Up!
Man, those views from the top of this place are awesome, and the few gaps between skylines that are left will be filled in and extended nicely over the next few years. A decade or two from now, this view could very well show an uninterrupted skyline for almost 180 degrees from this roof.- 107 replies
