    Something does not add up here with the proposed height of this building... If its at 30 stories now - its the shortest 30 I have ever seen...you can hardly see the building on 59, and it looks way shorter than DT which is topped out at 30? And if MP is going to 46 stories - only another 16 - how is it going to get high enough where it is supposed to be way taller than Discovery Tower?? Basically MP does not look that tall now, and if its 30/46 stories done, then its not going to look that tall when its done... Unless the last 16 stories are going to be really high ceilings or something?????

    What aspect of living in that neighbourhood is idiotic?

    At this stage its more of a question of just lets get this thing built and keep the team here in Houston where they belong; sadly any other considerations are now secondary. So if this means that we have to compromise on aesthetics etc then so be it. Go Dynamo!

    Wow Niche; you should sell this prose to Moasic to their marketing team! It is a cool view though, I would love to live there, at least for a while.

    Looks good, but anyone know if for sure its going to light up at night (the roof) And is it all finished?

    "The COH is on the Planning Commissions agenda today for the Amateur Sports Park. This is heavily tied into the Dynamo, right?" Sorry, can you explain what this is? what amatuer sports park? Is this this youth park / training facility for dynamo or something? Any links or more info on this? Would love to see it done, a city the size of Houston desperately needs more youth facilities

    I think they plan to share parking with Astros? There is hardly ever over lap in games so no big deal. Plus the crowds are much smaller at 20,000 so should not be a problem. Lets just get the stadium done, its too important for all sorts of economic / social / prestige to Houston etc reasons to mess around any longer

    There is actually all sorts of different colors on the roof of this building - looks like the Hermann one next door - sometimes its purple, some blue, some red, some green. Its not finished yet but when it is if these tests are anything to go by it could be quite cool

    FWIW No blue lighting tonight on the webcam at 11.40pm, wonder if there is going to be permanent lighting...

    Did someone say parking is Free on Saturdays? It does not say that on their (poor) website. Can anyone confirm? I for one would go MUCH more with wife and baby if it were free parking, or at least validated with a purchase.

    Not much here but here it is: http://www.khou.com/news/local/stories/kho...l.1b339629.html Perhaps more coverage later

    Great news!!! Wonder how many stories, there was a little back and forth on that. Still, glad this is getting done

    Whatever pal. You need to step off. I don't have to answer your question. I posted some thoughts on this thread on the naming of this building and if I want to do that I will, at any time. Your over the top response to my harmless musings was rude and offensive, but lets just leave it at that as I've better things to do than go back and forth on this. Good evening.

    Cause that name blows? Why not just call it Hess Discovery Tower? 1000 times better, and actually a fantastic branding opportunity for Hess IMO. To associate Hess with theme of "discovery" etc...and to the park itself....good PR / sponsor park events etc...

    In the chron last week there was an article that there was going to be a vote in City Hall or wherever on whether to approve this hotel to get the tax incentives that presumably it needed to get started. Does anyone know what happened with this Council meeting / vote on the proposed hotel last week? Hopefully there was a positive outcome and this thing will break ground soon?

    what is a joke??? What do you mean? As I keen soccer and DT dev fan I await this stadium keenly. If you imply that the negotiations have been dragging i concur. Hopefully this will get sorted soon.
  22. houstonranger
    Yes, I think you are right on all counts Jax. Thanks so much for the awesome pics of this building, they look great. I too live quite nearby and watch the roof every day - maybe that's partly why I think its going slowly!
  23. houstonranger
    From the west your gonna see a flat roof. You'll see the curves from south, north and east. Not west
  24. houstonranger
    Man, this roof is talking literally months to take shape. I hope / think it will look good when its done, I just wish they would hurry it up a bit. Several projects in the city seem to be moving kinda slow (Disc Tower aside)

    agreed, pathetic behaviour, worse than grafitti. The fountain is awesome and anyone who messes it up should be arrested.
