Is this at Navigation / Broadway and Hockley? Is that the same crane that is there now?

If that’s their plan, it should be complimentary to their strategy to create a pedestrian friendly sreetscape around Texas Tower, the Preston, and the Calpine building.

Ah, I never associated this garage with the Wedge building since it has an attached garage. But, now that god awful pink (?) color makes more sense.

I am disappointed that the improvements don’t extend down to Holman / HCC. Does Midtown Redevelopment Authority plan to improve the streetscape between Elgin and Holman.

The reflection of the Wyndham sign was the biggest clue. From there, Google street view confirmed the window pattern of the Intercontinental hotel. Actually, my first thought was it was the new garage just north of the Texas Tower under construction, with a reflection of the Chase tower. But, obviously, there is no Wyndham next door.

According to the MFAH website, mfah.org, the building will have the following features: “• Gathered under a “luminous canopy” roof, the concave curves reference the billowing clouds that fill the “big sky” of Texas• Vertical, translucent-glass tubes cladding the facades• Two floors and 54,000 square feet of galleries circling a three-level atrium space, with the distinctive roof allowing natural light to flood the central spaces• The 202-seat Lynn and Oscar Wyatt Theater; a restaurant; and a café• Seven gardens and six reflecting pools inset along the building’s perimeter”

The Menil Collection At 1533 Sul Ross St.
danielsonr replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Going Up!
Rather than expanding the main building, I believe their intent is to add other facility buildings, as they have done with the Twombly and Byzantine Chapel buildings, while maintaining a park-like setting for the campus. It is now Sophia, owned by the former sous chef of Shade, David Alvarado: http://www.sophiahouston.com/index.htm -
The Menil Collection At 1533 Sul Ross St.
danielsonr replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Going Up!
Yes, Richmont Corp. is controlled by the Menil. The income from the apartment complex provides some revenue for the Menil operations. Menil has been quietly acquiring property over a number of years such that they now own close to 100% of the land in the area bounded by Mandell, Richmond, Yupon, and W. Alabama. Likewise, UST has been steadily trying to acquire as much land as they can in the area bounded by Yupon, Richmond, Montrose, and W. Alabama. It is the intent of both of these institutions to expand and enhance the visual appeal of their respective campuses. -
