    This edifice is almost too gorgeous to be placed in Montrose . Urbannizer, are we sure? This beauty shall totally reshape the ambiance of the entire area. No way!
  7. monarch
    Not to worry "Urbannizer". You have done an AMAZING job thus far. We shall wait patiently.
  8. monarch
    Stunning! Jaw dropper.

    ...actually, i think that this particular project is remarkable. not only is it "grand" upon it's overall concept... it just seems fun! a "toast" to the future!
  10. monarch
    ...simply stunning as always...

    ...perfect planning thus far. but what about retail? downtown desperately needs stores for patrons to shop, isn't this the primary purpose for building this mall in the first place? also, the "hotel" aspect is fabulous. with this addition, the center can not help but become successful.

    simply spectacular shots...

    "galleria highlands" well, it's a start. I think that it has a nice and yet subtle ring to it...

    ...updated version of the "leaning tower of piza" houston style.

    ...oh my, success at last!

    ...quite ambitious. Uptown, is going to become quite the destination.

    Some posters warrant a bit more expressive articulation method than others. The "quotes" / BOLD modes are here to serve a purpose... am I correct? ....I do not care at all about others taking me seriously. I just care about them having a voice.... just like yours....

    ENOUGH Already! Personally, I feel that H-TOWN MAN is above all correct upon his assessments / critiques, as per the proposed "Hilcorp" boondoggle of a building.... slated as per the most "prime" real estate in all of Texas. Upon whether or not we are ready to admit it.... aren't we all a bit "shocked" as per the actual "underwhelming" aspects of such a building being promoted as per such a "high octane" site of Downtown Houston. As I have casually stated beforehand..... "this green glassed building look's as though it just involuntarily stood up, turned it's "ass" upon Main Street.... and just let out a big "garage". Just downright insulting.... Jackwood, you should never proposed to anyone to "quit" posting upon this open forum. Your insight is just as "valuable" as anyone else's. For whenever I venture upon HAIF, I am seeking to reference the insight upon "all" posters.... not just those that are inclined to agree with my own views. Somehow, over the past several months, I have been getting the feeling that "posters" have been a bit reluctant to "post" simply due to the simple fact that they are "intimidated" by others that they think are a bit more "well versed" than they are..... isn't this a bit "elementary" to say the least. Upon my own personal view, (to run the risk of patronizing anyone in lieu this great site) HAIF posters seem to be some of the most intelligent patrons around..... not to mention, they seem to harbor an undying love as per the City of Houston..... which in spite of itself.... is it's strength. Look HAIF, just as the old saying goes.... "if it look's and quack's like a duck.... at some point, the duck shall be revealed". This is the same way that I feel in regards to the proposed "garage" aspect of the newly proposed "Hilcorp" building. There is just to much "history / memories" dedicated as per this particular site upon Main Street..... to allow for such an non inspiring, non entertaining, complete bore of an edifice, to be constructed upon such an "holistic" site.... and not allow yourselves to be completely honest about it...

    I absolutely concur KinkaidAlum. It's almost as if this big green glassed amateur just stood up..... and turned it's ass upon Main Street. If it wasn't so shocking / sad..... if would be hilarious!

    cloud713, I love you guy.... but sometimes your "fixation" as per retail, seems to be a bit over the top. I once lived downtown Houston, and I simply loved the place. During the short time that I lived there (3+years) I systematically witnessed a broad amount of retail just basically disappear.... right before my eyes. It broke my heart that last time I visited Macy's downtown upon one of my return visits from Afghanistan. I walked in, only to view a strange array of basically cheap looking clothing / accessories. I felt that I had ventured into K-mart (not that there is anything wrong with K-mart). But I'm sure that you may catch my drift.... As I have stated as per my aforementioned post "this particular site upon Main Street, is probably the best / hottest site within the state". And if a new edifice is going to be positioned as per this site, then it should with out a doubt.... be first class in every category. Upon this particular site, we should never be fixated upon the garage.... no matter where it's located. The office aspect as per this edifice should stand out completely. Just as "BG Place" as well as the now proposed "609 Main". In my view, the garage aspects of these particular edifices, are positioned as they should be..... Should any retail be proposed, then the retail aspect should definitely be highlighted in the broadest terms. Especially upon this particular site, in lieu of the "Downtown Management's" newest plans centering upon Dallas Street becoming Downtown's signature retail avenue. I think that this particular initiative can be a reality for Downtown Houston. But it needs to be done upon a thoughtful as we as a consistent basis, or it shall end up just like "Houston Pavilions" disaster....

    This particular site on Main Street, has got to be one of (if not the) hottest site (s) in the State of Texas. I was a bit leery that they were anticipating a 23 story building upon this site, but to think of placing a another garage upon this site facing Main Street, is simply ASININE at best. Surely Mayor Parker, and the Downtown Management officials can do better than this.... you've got to be kidding!

    swtsig, In an effort to not patronize you my good pal, I must say that over the last few years... I have come to look forward to your very subtle and yet intriguing pronouncements.... It has become quite evident to all that patronize the formidable site, that you may not be permitted to arbitrarily reveal too much upon proprietary information. However, what about sharing a few clues in regards to the forthcoming prospectives to all of your pals here. After all...aren't we family? could one of them be the Ritz / residential that we are all awaitingcould one of them be the actual W Hotel / residential that we are all awaitingwhat about Le Meridien....these do not normally carry residential...not any that I have frequented in many countries...would love to welcome them back to Houstonwhat about Fairmont / residential...would love to have one of thesewhat about a new and yet improved Hotel Intercontinental...we would love to welcome them back to Houston...come on swtsig, share a few clues....
