    I am so in love with the design of this building. It's like nothing that is being built in Texas. The abstract lines make this project so unique and FINALLY a cool homage to this city. Can't wait to see it completed!

    I think when it's all done, it will come together nicely...... I will remain optimistic. :-)

    From my office at BG Place. I believe they are adding the 46th floor from where I sit.

    This morning Simon Property Group released renderings of a planned residential highrise in the Galleria, shown here at the corner of W. Alabama St. and Sage Rd. in what’s left over of the land previously occupied by the mall’s second Macy’s. The tower is slated for the same spot previously colored purple for “future retail/office residences” on one of the developer’s Galleria redo maps back in 2014. (That map didn’t mention a highrise specifically, but previous info on the redevelopment plans floated the idea.) Simon says it plans to break ground on the tower by the end of 2017, with a 2019 or 2020 opening in mind. The rendered view above looks northeast over the Berachah Church across W. Alabama at the glassy highrise, which may hold somewhere between 75 and 100 residential units atop 220 hotel rooms (with separate amenities areas for permanent and temporary residents). The design shows 2 pool decks; the nearby Westin Galleria’s existing pool can be spotted on the right, past an existing parking garage.

    I drove by this building today and yes, it's not sexy, that's for sure. However, I still remain optimistic for BLVD Place that there will be something modern to reshape Post Oak and the Galleria area. This city needs a concentrated area that all Houstonians can all be excited about and want to show off to out of town guests. We have an opportunity to do this, if someone has the proper vision. If that happens, Whitco's claim to fame will be the terrific views. We'll see...
