SkylineView Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 My office overlooks the site. All four quadrants are being used (extensively) as a holding area for the Post Oak work. PO @ Richmond is supposed to re-open in May, but I can't imagine they will be able to move all the stuff out of there until the full Blvd is a bit further along. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hindesky Posted May 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2019 While at the Preston parking garage demo I talked with a Harvey worker who said they have the contract for the second tallest building. Construction is expected to start next year and lots of the workers building the Camden Conte will transition over to it, including him. He said this will be a 7 year long project but didn't know if they won contracts on all the buildings. 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
