The RO: Mixed-Use Development At West Alabama And Buffalo Spdwy.
Montrose1100 replied to YakuzaIce's topic in Going Up!
This is exciting. Their renderings for the buildings last cycle were really nice (especially the lone tall one). Excited to see what they cook up next. Do they own the Anadarko tower complex in the Woodlands?- 371 replies

This is such a waste of time and money. Also bitter about the Y pillars getting annihilated.- 187 replies

The Allen: Mixed-Use Development At Allen Parkway & Gillette St.
Montrose1100 replied to jmontrose's topic in Going Up!
There was a thread on r/houston, and thought I was on nextdoor for a second. It's just as bright as 1 Shell in the distance. Our Downtown lighting is a joke, the absolute minimum. A lighting scheme comes along with something other than just the roof outline and it's an "eyesore". If it's a bright enough problem for the Allen House or the Apartments to the south, sure they could dim them a bit. Otherwise, think it looks great. Downtown properties should step up their game if they don't wish to be outshined. Complaining about lack of lights as another ERCOT warning comes out for next week. 🙄- 1,647 replies

Project Green: Mixed-Use Development On Allen Parkway By Hines
Montrose1100 replied to editor's topic in Going Up!
At least the current building is interesting. It's "diagonal" to the grid, and very well lit at night. Another boring blue box for the Energy Corridor, I mean Allen Parkway. -

Looks like I & II ground floor renovations. Interesting to get rid of the bottom two floors on that corner and incorporate larger stainless steel columns. Would flow with the infamous Post Oak arches.

On a different note, the office buildings in Greenspoint have updated Christmas lights (Red & Green LED vs the last 80s bulbs in the city). Cool to see the empty mall parking lot being used for something else.

Skyscraperpage.com has a few drawings you can compare heights with and see the rankings. But you have to know which buildings are residential. On Page 2 of Houston Link, it shows the Brava as number 1. Would also reccomend looking up the heights from sources. The information on that page is provided by users and doesn't always have the source. 1. Brava - 167.3m 2. 2929 Weslayan - 162.5m 3. The Huntingdon - 153.3m 4. One Park Place - 152.7m 5. Parkside Residences - 146.3m (or The Post Oak if you count Hotel mixed use with residences). Perhaps the @editor can advise, but there used to be a source on HAI and it would list buildings by type. appears to not work

Strange we didn't get a branch up to BCS via 249 or 290 via 36 to Killeen. The rail lines are always full of military transports. Suppose they do their job and we don't need another freeway branch.

It's cute. I'll take a glass box over anything stucco. Brick would be timeless, but that's asking a lot. Wonder if this 300 key hotel will further delay Houston First Hotel.
