    Probably post-tensioning cables.

    I would say the round one is apartments, because of the balconies. The short one could be boutique office, to compete with Hines' tower. Where's the parking?

    You're right, I think I get that vibe bc I'm not familiar with the developer - and the developer does not have much experience with the Houston market, I think. But also because the design is a bit superfluous (not in a bad way), like it would be too expensive to build and turn a profit. I don't know, it's just a feeling. But like I said, I really like it and I hope I'm wrong.

    Really nice!

    I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this one. I feel it either isn't going to happen, or will be severly scaled down, sort of like BLVD place. I hope I'm wrong though, I really like this.

    maybe we need to move this topic to the Crater Houston forum...

    This is one of my favorite developments going on right now.

    You really think Chevron Tower 3 does not have a tenant??
  9. fernz
    that would be my guess

    I really like the entrance, looks very elegant. People make a decision to lease based on the entrance, the lobby/clubhouse and the pool area - of course if it's at the right price. People put a great deal of importance on the ability to impress visitors.

    Wow, someone spent some serious time Photoshoping these pictures to remove all the poles and wires in the intersection and both streets...seems a bit like deceptive advertizing.

    Much better picture; thanks Urbannizer. This is good-looking building.

    I do like the density as well; especially when coupled with Hines' tower.

    Thank you sky-guy. The base of the building certainly turned out worse than the rendering.
  15. fernz
    Great example. Also, I don't have pictures, but remember the renderings for the cosmopolitan?

    Yes, it is preliminary. But preliminary, conceptual designs should be aspirational. When they get developed, reality kicks in and takes the magic away. This one doesn't have any magic to begin with.

    Seriously? This will be the best looking strip center in Houston; by far.

    Agree as well. Looks as bad as Hanover's Post Oak tower did when it was built over 10 years ago. Agree as well. Looks as bad as Hanover's Post Oak tower did when it was built over 10 years ago.

    I had only seen this in condos before

    Thanks for clarifying. I would assume that as long as the courthouses remain in downtown, so will the jail.

    There's barely been any progress in two weeks...

    I would say everything being built right now is contemporary...
  23. fernz
    pardon my ignorance, but what is the difference?

    There two open pieces of land which means downtown and TMC skylines will never be connected: Rice University and Hermann Park. And also, TMC didn't just happen by itself. It was planned and the land was donated - without master planning, midtown will always be the random collection of buildings and uses it is today - which is just fine, it gives it a unique identity.

    It's not that big. Standard floor plates are 25,000 sf
