    I'm just gonna echo @CREguy13 and say something like this in midtown is really going to change the look of midtown. Houston is so spread out, a really tall building doesn't make much sense here. In some sense this sort of thing is necessary before we can begin to get very tall buildings. And I for one still remember when, except for two peculiar buildings, all the buildings in midtown were two to four stories tall.

    Yeah the original has an avenue while the new one seems to have a Woodlands-esque pond.

    So...about those rendering at the top of this thread...... Edit: It is still large

    That future 18th street monorail gonna be sweet

    I know on other threads people are talking about this as a sort of central station/centerpiece whatever you want to call it. But what does it abut to the north. I really don't know. Is it gonna be a long fence along a train embankment to and from which no one can move?
  6. EllenOlenska
    Yeah, this is a nice building.

    As a person who only ever gets excited for whispers about trains (and buses too) this place thrills me. Might I have some critiques, sure. But frankly the thing is worthy of critique. It's cool in a whole lotta ways. It's possessed of a rather more severe grandeur than in the renderings.

    I'm really of two minds on this one. I like a lot about it but it also makes me hope for additional phases.

    I am picking up what most of y'all are laying down. (However I might like the Houston House as an observer and non-habitue.) But I guess I feel like I'm less enchanted with the facade than I am un-enchanted with the garage. Is that more (much more) garage than is necessary to conform with regs? Or are they just doing all that garage for the hell of it?

    My only problem is that it doesn't say "been leasing" after a while
  11. EllenOlenska
    Okay, since people are still arguing over this and no one seems to have posted this yet. I will.

    I'm actually a big fan of the Kevin Daly. My question is (and I have a hard time puzzling it out from the renderings/schematics) is there any plan to expand the park if indeed the clover interchange is removed? Is the clover interchange removal likely to be soon? Sorry if this is a little tangential to the matter at hand.

    Definitely on team "not crazy about it"

    People talk about Montrose, Midtown, the Heights, the East Side and they're all right, but the future circum-Herman Park looks pretty tall.

All three will tout the A&M logo."

    LOL or my parents on occasion.

    Taking bets on the first 20 story tower between 18th and 21st and Heights Boulevard and Shepherd.
  18. EllenOlenska
    Yeah. Classic Ghost Tower.
  19. EllenOlenska
    The tower looks better there!

    I lived at the apartments on Oxford. And would (have) welcome a highrise (with that elusive beast, GFR) but wow this dude isn't politic.

    It reminds me of movies where the machines of sentient and they use other machines.
  22. EllenOlenska
    Feels that way
  23. EllenOlenska
    Honestly I'm still dead because of the use of metonymically
  24. EllenOlenska
    strikes me as a quick one

    I think the Soviet stuff is more attractive. As y'all know I don't like to be a downer but I am not a fan of suitcase handles on buildings.
