  1. I don't understand the topper of this building. Are those columns? We need a better rendering than just the front... for all we know, a massive statue of Chuck Norris could be on the other side...
  2. This is amazing photography. The second is my favorite. It looked like a tower I had never seen before.
  3. No. The Pavilions is the blackest building in that photo, except for the roofs of some buildings. It's in the center towards the left.
  4. <br /><br /><br /><br />I don't have any shots, but I can say that they're already working on the parking garage of the second tower.
  5. Well, the company could be from Dubai, but the designer could be American. I'm not saying American architects don't have as much imagination or whatever, but I'm saying just because the company is from Dubai doesn't mean you should expect something fancy. For example, my father works in a Dubai/Saudi Arabian company called MMI, but the building is simply a large stucco 14-story box near the Galleria.
  6. I do believe you... I'm just curious how you know. Are you in the "inter-loop of knowledge" of the contruction projects?
  7. 80 stories? That's definitely a 1,000 footer! There has never been a 80 story building that has been less than 1,000 feet in this world (none that I know of). Looks like we may have a new "tallest" for Houston if it leaves the planning stages and enters reality. Historically in America, it takes a city 20 to 30s year *with a few exceptions* to get a new city "tallest", so it's about that time so it wouldn't surprise me.
  8. That's right. It was just to show the proposals and that's what I'm proposing for anyone to do.
  9. Well, we have this photo: I realize Six Houston Center will to the right of this photo, so does anyone think they are up to the challenge of adding Six Houston Center to any downtown Houston photo?
  10. <br /><br /><br />That could be anything. Do you have any better description, please?
  11. Sorry about that everyone. I didn't realize it was KHOU. I only caught a glimpse of the commercial. Anyway, did it mention any specific projects from the Texas Medical Centre or was it all broad and general about its expansion?
  12. Exactly. That chron article talking about the growth of the Texas Medical Center mentioned four office buildings. It really makes me wonder if City Centre is one of them.
  13. Did anyone see the commercial discussing the huge growth of the Texas Medical Center? They talked about the unprecedented growth and that the TMC is larger than El Paso, Fort Worth, and San Antonio combined (something like that). Anyway, it's supposed to talk about the TMC tomorrow at 10pm on Channel 2 (KPRC). It will discuss the benefits and the complaints people have about the growth of the fastest growing cityscape.
  14. Sorry to go a little off-topic, but that article said:
  15. Exactly... and in some cases, that it needs to be nearly sold out before they can begin construction. It's interesting that, since we have a falling dolar, many foreign entities are focused on this Houston project.
  16. The belief that you don't need sales to begin a project. Anyway, I completely agree. The Chicago Spire didn't have sales, and look, they're building it! :closedeyes:
  17. There isn't much to talk about yet, but there is a proposal to be released Thursday which will detail a plan to build a passenger train line from Houston to Galveston. Source What are your thoughts?
  18. I'm actually surprised it has a spire. It's appears as though it will be an iconic tower for Post Oak, in fact. It's not an average rectangular building.
  19. Here are some pics I took while driving down Caroline Street and then making a right unto Polk Avenue.
