fernz Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Hines is the only local firm that has the potential to simultaneuously change the course of local development while garnering the attention of other more interesting property developers.I think you are overlooking Hanover. If you look at what they did with lofts at post oak and seven riverway, and what they are planning on doing at boulevard place, they are taking apartments to a new level of quality. Only finger is doing something similar, but they don't have the national presence that hanover does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not black or red or yellow or brown. Can't we not be white? Christ, with this summer in Sept. I should be real brown. Caliente.....

c4smok Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 (edited) nice 25-30 story tower there =) Edited November 6, 2007 by c4smok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Owl Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I love the design. In general, I love ornaments on the tops of buildings. Houston could use a few more spires, so this is a pretty fresh design for our town. I almost wish it were taller, though, to really highlight the spire on top. I wish this were the rendering for Hanover's 55 story tower at BLVD Place instead of this 25-30 story tower. Fantastic design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadrunner Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 That building looks great. I really wish Davis would try to put a new luxury condo tower in DT, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VelvetJ Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Houston could use a few more spires, so this is a pretty fresh design for our town. But spires on buildings in Houston would mean we are trying to be like someone else and Houston should focus on being itself. Anyway, love the design of this one. It really is a refreshing design for the city. I hope the actual building stays true to the rendering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 If the Titan has similar floor plates as the Cosmopolitan across the street, it would mean this tower with the spire would probably stand around 450 to 500 feet tall. That'll certainly make a statement in that section of Uptown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNiche Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 But spires on buildings in Houston would mean we are trying to be like someone else and Houston should focus on being itself. Anyway, love the design of this one. It really is a refreshing design for the city. I hope the actual building stays true to the rendering. Actually, this is a fairly unique spire. The ones that folks (myself included) criticize are those that are just done to look like something else that is somewhere else. Spires can also easily be overdone, an example being downtown Atlanta.

I guess it's my workplaces settings? Any way we could get this put up as an attachment as well? If not, I'll just look at it at home.

crunchtastic Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) This building is gorgeous! But as a marketing hack I have to giggle at that mailer "live like a Titan". Do they mean like a giant other-worldly god? "Hey, this is Cronus, kickin' it in my penthouse, you should see the spire we have!" Things ended rather badly for the titans, as I recall.

King Owl Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Does anybody notice the similarity between this building and the new Turnberry tower? Specifically the corner balconies and the "glass square" near the top? It may be a case that the Titan is trying to beat Turnberry to market. Plus....the Titan added that spire on top which I think makes it a more attractive building than Turnberry. I'm very impressed by the look of the last two Randall Davis properties (Cosmopolitan and now Titan) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Hahaha! As sense of literary history humor. I love it. Anyway, although similar in appearance, i like that finally, FINALLY, we have a couple of highrises which won't fit into the cookie-cutter mold. As said before, this is going to be a bold statement (along with Turnberry) on UT's skyline. Keep em coming. I just hope our housing market doesn't bust like most of the country is doing. m.

bachanon Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 IF the mcdonald's is integrated into the new building, i doubt it will be used as a selling point. therefore, i wouldn't expect to see it in the renderings made public.

It reminds me of Capitol Records in Hollywood. With that said, I would love to see this one on one of the commercial streets in the Montrose. Montrose needs an icon residential tower like this one that you can see from all over the neighborhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
