    So will this office building be connected to the tunnel system via a tunnel or skywalk?

    That, and having WTI at around $100 for like 10 years, is our best chance for a supertall.

    I think he's asking if the Bisnow story is really referring to the Chronicle site. The story doesn't mention who is the developer or where in downtown.

    Agree, same as what Skanska did with Capitol Tower, they're doing here. They will surely post up images of the tower to be built for phase two, to help advertise the site for future development. Again, as they did for Capitol Tower, and for Six Houston Center for that matter. https://tsdrsec.uspto.gov/ts/cd/casedoc/sn86546914/ROA20150624172745/2/webcontent?scale=1 I counted 11 stories, so that means it will be 41 stories? Sure hope it's taller, as in, 50 floors tall like it was originally.

    The garage was partially built, it will end up being 11 stories once the tower goes up.

    Six Houston Center appears again.

    I've looked at pictures of highrise buildings that have been bombed by missiles during the two Iraq Wars and Bosnian War, they all survive. There are all left standing, even with structural and fire damage.

    It looks real nice, in the dark and with the lights turned off.

    It's a different site from the HOK design.

    Thank you for your response, very informative. NIST also agrees that jet fuel does not melt steel, and they adamantly deny that melted steel was found at ground zero, yet we have eyewitnesses who said they saw it, and there is video and photo evidence of it too.

    Nope, you're wrong. The twin towers had a strong inner core made up of 47 columns. It shared the gravity load with the outer columns. If anything, the top part (above the crash location) should have tipped over. That actually did happened to the south tower. However, as the top part tipped over, the lower part collapsed completely onto itself without that downward force you speak of.

    I agree, this and many others are on life support. I was thinking, why not market this tower (and the whole city really) as the place that oil built but couldn't use (because it crashed) and now others in different industries can just step in and reap the benefits of what was laid out. There will be plenty of office space to choose from, and a vast amount of great professionals (who are unemployed) to hire. All of it at a discount too!!!

    I think it would be better if you bury 59 and lay on top of it all these recreational things. A baseball field east of Minute Maid, then a football and soccer field along the east side of the GRB, or a mini-golf course I suppose. Have it become a sports or recreation district. But whatever happens, let it spark more highrise development east of 59. For the GRB roof, make it a private park/garden to keep the foot traffic light up there.

    Right, I came up with the same count (40 when looking at the new renderings), but if you count the rendering below, the count is 34. You'll notice it's shorter than the Hess Tower, whereas in the other renderings, they look to be around the same height. I guess these new renderings were held back from us when it was 40 stories. Looks better at 40 if you ask me. Anyways, we'll soon find out in the next quarter, I hope.

    The downtown Houston site has been upgraded. http://www.downtownhouston.org/

    The taller 3 Allen Center was edited out. It wouldn't looked as good with it in the picture, appearing (not by much) in the back. Anyways, this was perfect at 50 stories, even if bland. Damn shame if you ask me.

    Crescent has updated the tower's website, check it out. http://sixhoustoncenter.com/

    Well that surely does suck, thanks.
