  1. This will be fun to watch rise. Those of us who drive-in on the north freeway will have a front and center view of this tower every day. It should have a decent little impact on the skyline when viewing it from the north.
  2. So this tower is still a thing then? If so, given the giant excavated hole in the ground, is this under construction now or still on hold?
  3. It'll only be seen from the folks driving in on the North Frwy or along I-10 as they pass in front of the skyline. Other than that, it'll be lost.
  4. Sweet! Thanks for the update! Is there a building in Houston that would compare most to the rendering you saw?
  5. Oil prices fell 2 years ago. If plans were scrapped then why follow through with demolition that cost millions if no plan exists for the site?
  6. Let's hope. It would be a subtle but welcome addition to the skyline...poking up next to Pennzoil
  7. It's almost mid March. Any word on this tower? Was supposed to break ground this month.
  8. United announced that they will begin seasonal service between Bush and Munich, Germany. Looks like flights will operate from April to October. http://www.chron.com/business/bizfeed/article/United-to-offer-seasonal-flight-from-IAH-to-Munich-10982978.php
  9. With another company giving notice of relocating out of downtown (Enterprise Plaza), I doubt Hines erects anything on this block in the near future. However, what I would give to be a fly on the wall in their HQ to see what they have in the works. I'm sure somewhere in their offices they have sketches or renderings of what they want to build on this site.
  10. When u say "changed considerably," are there still multiple high rises involved or did it get valued down to another 25 story building and a parking garage?
  11. I wouldn't say DFW has had all the fun. We've had *multiple* actual office skyscrapers built here including Main Place and 609 Main. We've got just as many 20 and 30 story buildings under construction or about to begin construction, if not more, than Dallas including Tillman's building, the med center hospital towers, Kirby Collection, Blvd Place, Allen/Gillettte condo tower, Marlow, Marriott Marquis and 3300 main just to name a few off the top of my head. I don't even know the last time Dallas erected a Class A office skyscraper with meaningful height in their downtown core. We've erected two 40+ story building in the last few years with at least one other one, Capitol Tower, coming out of the ground next month. This tower tho is definitely sexy as hell and absolutely needs to happen. I just hope the likes of 6 Houston Center doesn't take the wind out of this sail.
  12. So this tower will resemble the second tower at BLVD Place the most or is there another tower in Houston that is similar in nature? Does it have any curves like the original rendering of Theatre Square/International Tower?
  13. So are we sure this is beginning construction in March? I haven't seen the HBJ or Chronicle pick up the story yet.
  14. It's just a parking garage I think. The original rendering for the proposed building was really spectacular but that's been some years ago now.
  15. Especially being that Capitol Tower is likely to come out of the ground....which will not only add space to an already saturated market but you've got Shell One Towr that's nearly empty, 700 Louisiana that will be half empty, Continental Center One will have a boat load of space when United leaves for 609 Main. 6 Houston Centeris a pipe dream and nothing more
  16. Looks like 10 Waterway in The Woodlands is getting ready to break ground. Does anybody have a subscription to get the full article? I know there is a thread for this already but I couldn't find it. Please merge if there's an existing one. http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2017/02/06/after-years-of-talks-new-woodlands-office-building.html
  17. WHOA!!!!! That is freakin' beautiful!!! Oh please oh please oh PLEASE happen....
  18. I saw the lights for the first time this morning. Hope they're up and running in the next night or two. Super bowl is nearly here
  19. I work one block from this site and it does NOT look like it could house the opulent and expansive idea of several high rise towers. I may be wrong. I was about the Titan.
  20. I don't understand why every new apartment tower looks the same. It's sort of annoying. There's nothing that makes this stand out at all. Very boring.
