    Microsoft’s already entered Houston with an accelerator at the Ion. This was announced way back in April 2019, Mayor Sylvester Turner was the driving force behind it. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2019/04/17/microsoft-to-launch-accelerator-for-smart-city.amp.html If you’re waiting for something else from them then I think it’s safe to say that it’ll lead to disappointment because I don’t think they have any additional expansion plans beyond this. Microsoft already has two offices in Houston besides the Ion. The first is near Memorial Park in Uptown Houston along I-610W. The other is inside City Centre along Beltway 8 West and I-10.

    Arcades in Australia refer to alleyways that are either built or converted to house shops, bars, restaurants, entertainment, etc. They're also alternatively called laneways.

    That is really nice. How could anyone be opposed to this project now? The design doesn't leave room for argument.

    81 parking lots left in DT Houston after Block 58.

    Wow

    Good design and height. It will help fill in some gaps in the skyline and extend it further north.
  8. Sellanious Caesar
    In one of the rendering images it shows it to be either just as tall as 609 Main or slightly taller. It's location and height also extends the skyline in a direction that really needed it. The design is underwhelming than what I imagined but still a good looking building. Nothing great about it's crown but I'll take it.

    Not odd at all. I think of it as a chance for Uptown to plug in the holes in its linear skyline. There's a gap between Williams Tower and US59 where those skinny beige stucco condo towers are. This will fill in that gap and because the site is basically just a field, this will densify Uptown.

    I'm guessing that "The RO" stands for "The River Oaks". While Greenway Plaza doesn't have official boundaries, I consider this apart of it. What's more is that Greenway Plaza and Upper Kirby are increasingly merging into each other due to all these developments. A mixed use use with multiple high rises at the intersection of 59/Kirby will go a long way in blending the two clusters together. Hopefully the plans for that site are still there to eventually happen.

    Laneways are what alleyways are called in Melbourne, Australia. In Melbourne they put movie theater entrances, restaurants, and activities in it to attract pedestrians. It's like a hidden nerve system for the city. Here are some pictures of laneways in Melbourne http://www.traveller.com.au/six-of-the-best-melbourne-laneways-12wkbf https://www.loopfinancial.com.au/sydney-melbourne-livability-surveys/ Laneways would be an excellent idea for Midtown Houston.

    Uptown already has over 100 highrises (buildings with 10 or more floors). I did the count myself in 2013 and at that time there were 117 in just Uptown alone.

    I like Memorial City at night when you can't see the beige stucco buildings but only see the blue roof lights on the buildings. They should try coordinating colors with the high rises in City Center, it would look like a decently big skyline at night from far away. BTW, I like this bunker hill proposal. Are there any legs and timelines to it available?

    This came to mind for me 2929 Weslayan is 39 stories, is completely all residential, and its height is officially listed at 533 feet. http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=98555 I think the Allen will at least match that in height, which is great, because 500 feet in these market conditions is more than what we could've asked for anyways. The Allen's base floor looks to be a few feet higher than 2929 Weslayan, so I think there is a great chance that this will eclipse 500 feet.

    The renderings are great and this project definitely has legs to move forward. When this project was first announced, the developers said at the time that they want to build a skyline changer and new landmark tower. This is exactly that. Although im weary of initial renderings as they are prone to revisions, here's hoping they keep the concept intact and get underway in the near future!
