Wow, the taller building looks like somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 stories high, if not higher. Anyone else know the exact height and number of floors ? This will be a game changer in that area of town. We'll take what we can get during this economic mess, but I'm still hoping for much higher towers in downtown than everything always being UNDER 50 stories. Can I go even further to suggest a really supertall tower that Houston and Texas deserves and should have ? Dare I wish for something higher than 75 floors one day, like say oh, I dunno maybe 115 floors with "shorter" towers around 85 to 95 floors one day in my fantasy future of downtown Houston. Yes, it's good to dream, especially at this time, as long as we realize it's probably still a big fantasy for the near future. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

por favor gracias Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I actually like the older rendering that looked more like a few 20-35 story towers. It had a better design IMO, but it stayed in its lane. One thing I love about the Transco/Williams tower is how it stands alone. It's so dominating. It's such a beautiful and defining building for the area. Its presence is complimented so well by its design. I'll never forget the impact it had on me the first time my dad drove us by it when I was a kid, and as we went down Westheimer, I remember thinking "this is where I want to live when I grow up." And sure enough, here I am to this day. This would be a nice building in another part of town (Upper Kirby area comes to mind), but it would at least somewhat diminish that commanding presence of the Transco/Williams tower moving forward. Although we've all seen worse (looking at you right up the street, Mercer), this design is nothing special. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZRFkris Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I think it would be really cool to have another high rise development on the Dillard’s lot. This would really frame the Williams tower nicely along with this development. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the term is up in the 2040’s or 2050’s. I agree it’d be ripe for redevelopment if the ground lease is bought out, similar to what happened with the Ion at the old Sears site in Midtown.

The 901' Williams Tower will still command it's presence in the Uptown area for a long time. The only thing to come remotely close in height would have been the new Chevron Tower, Downtown. At a height of 859' and +$100 oil, even if next door, would allow plenty of crown height and circling lighthouse light room. Who knows if/when the project will be built at the current height. It's good to get some density on this side of the Galleria since the gap between the Williams Tower & the ugly condo towers along 59 is wide. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's awesome...congrats! The Transco Tower is like Houston's compass to me...when I see it, I know I'm close to home. I grew up in Kingwood, and had been downtown and the Astrodome/AstroWorld area several times, but never really knew about the galleria area until I was about 12 or so. It seemed so much more vibrant at the time (late 80's/early 90's). I knew that everything I need would be close, and all the restaurants gave me so many options. Back then though, downtown was a dead zone. I love where I'm at, and it's perfect for me location wise...but I'd actually rather live between downtown and the Museum District these days. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) awesome...i grew up in the woodlands but basically lived at that Bennigans by you on 1960/59 with all my friends that lived in Kingwood! if you ever went to the bar area i was there! back then you and i only had our malls to hang out at for the most part (Woodlands Mall/Deerbrook Mall) but of course both areas are now super developed...so much has changed for the woodlands area at least from what i see first hand when visiting my family. i do really like downtown, montrose and the museum district but to visit and hang out, never had the desire to live there. and edited to make this all relevant to the topic again... i really do hope they start work on this McNair project. it was so exciting when they first announced it but hard to stay excited when so many obstacles are in the way and happening.
