    I remember paying for a seat to see Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse at the new River Oaks District. I opted for the cheaper seat and was sent through a different door into a caged area at the lowest line of seats while above me rich people lounged on settees and ate grapes that hung pendently above their mouths

    To my eye, they look really big. I concur.

    I find the Sabine-Memorial expansion to be really interesting.

    They're mixing the uses of parking and driving around

    Damn

    Like Hadrian's Wall, it's pretty impressive in part because it's above the sunken freeway.

    Ask the building. Maybe it wants to be in Midtown.

    lol thicc indeed. I love it. It's like something out of Brazil. It's like the Chinese consulate on stilts.

    That floor plan is weirding me out.

    We have like 1/6 the density of Uruk circa 3000 BC. There's a lot of space.

    I like the base of this building.

    This feels like a mock up that got lost on its way to Houston: Potential.

    People can park at the Post Office and take the train down.

    Just came in from outside. That crane is tall today.

    I love how it's like the entire backside is a chain link fence abutting a void.

    As someone who has a habit of musing that parking lots should be turned into arbors or gardens or local parks, I wouldn't undersell the green roof as "buzzy"; mainly because that's a huge roof.

    My perennial comment: I kinda like the Greystar apt

    To my knowledge the chase building is still there. The part of the block where they're drilling had a small pavilion but was mostly just paved over. No large building was on it.

    They haven't done anything to the old Chase Building yet, I don't think. But I think all but the southeastern quadrant (where they have the new chase building) is Greystar. I put it on the Greystar forum where people were recently arguing longwindedly.

    A few pictures from a garage over 19th. Some of the shots are of the Greystar/Chase blocks. I always assumed the northeast quadrant of the block (the one closest to the garage and my phone camera) was where they were building. There's a lot of work going on there. If so, it's right across from Alliance. But I can't tell at all from the Greystar rendering.

    My vision is a twenty story glass mixed-use tower thereabout Thai Spice fronting a metrotrain that goes to the Northwest Train Station.

    I hang out around here a lot. I lived in Timbergrove for a while and then on the other side of the Heights. The area has a lot of tall buildings. The new apartment complex is there of course, but there's a dark-glassed office building, a hospital, an old-folk's apartment tower and another similar tower at the end of 19th. The tallest might be (I don't have the numbers in front of me) the office building right now. In front of the huge hospital is a massive parking lot (which fronts 19th.) And a bunch of stucco buildings with parking lots in front of them. Yeah, the old shops that front 19th at the end are cool, but they aren't the whole way. While I might prefer the boilerplate bunker design of the Chase building to the boilerplate modern design of this apartment, I think it's pretty fitting in that nothing really fits. Except density, which is what makes this area cool.
