    If this happens, I'll be happy that this will take 1+ million sq. ft. of floor space out of the market, but not happy that the ugly facade will remain. Anyways, I hope that they include in the improvements (because I'm sure there's things that still need fixing and upgrading) the connection to the tunnel system. Could that raise the rent if they pursue that?

    I believe that is what will happen first, do pile driving. That is not a tower crane going up.

    Maybe the implosion compromised the structural integrity (at least in a certain area) of the garage, making it unsafe to have it in operation again. I always thought that is was very risky having one half of it come down in freefall so near to the other half without causing no damage.

    Looks like the garage will be preserved in its current state based on the rendering at the site.

    Thanks for the update, but I believe this picture is showing the Catalyst site. Block 73 is south from this one.

    This tower is suppose to have tunnel access, correct? If so, would that be by connecting with One Market Square? I'm just wondering if this tower's tunnel access is depended on One Market Square getting build, because it will also have tunnel access by connecting with the block directly south of it (Chronicle building). Could that be delaying this project, if there is that dependency? Also, Hines has know for a while about the proposed One Market Square/International Tower.

    The Chronicle building is on sale, and may be demolished.

    Great stuff, but too many parking garages in this area, it need to diversify itself soon!

    Alright, well I was just wondering since that would make it exactly 100 feet higher than 1600 Smith, which stands at 732'. Thanks.
  12. democide
    Where did the 832' height number come from? Wasn't that just an estimate based on how it looks surpassing 1600 Smith?

    I assume for phase 2, the other building on the south block will be identical, correct? If so, what's that building to the south?

    From certain angles, it will.

    The side along 610, I noticed them as I drove by like two hours ago.

    Please do remember to tell us about those things that delayed construction, when you can, thanks.

    Same one.

    We're already building so much, but yes, I welcome this added incentive to build a lot more. 2015 should be another good year for Houston, and I hope a supertall is in the plans.
  20. democide
    Yes, that was the plan all along.

    If it's Block 251, I hope it includes tunnel/skywalk access.

    For such a promising building, it's too bad it will only be around 20 stories. Thank you for the info.

    The bomb flashes were a lot more noticeable. Complete, free-fall collapse into it's footprint. Once again, great job and planning from the demo team.

    It has 6 Houston Center, I like that. It was the big letters on the left side, I hate that.

    I'm thinking the floor count was a mistake, I mean the floor space is the same.
