SkylineView Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) Side note: this building has some really unique lighting that hasn't been discussed (and generally isn't on). The current lighting is classy, and the new features are 100% Vegas. I saw a brief glimpse at dusk a few weeks ago... it's really going to bring some glam to Uptown. Can't wait for the Holiday colors. Edited July 3, 2018 by SkylineView 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naviguessor Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Shame on Tillman. We really don't need new developments built by unpaid workers. Hope that he gets this solved quick. Sounds a little bit too much another real estate we all know. Fix it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Sounds like he's taking cues from another big time New York developer with reality TV ties. Wonder when he's going to put Fertitta on the building? Talking about embarrrassing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unable to attach a photo (which is probably for the best because I have no idea how to take pictures at night so they are crap anyway)... but there is some of the new lighting on tonight for the first time that I've seen, basically the aforementioned LED lines at the corners of the building (at least on the SE corner that I can see and it looks like the NE corner as well).

richfish Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I wonder what the deal is with the lighting. I remember the first time I saw it 5 months ago it seemed like it was basically ready to go. I drive past every morning and night and I don't think I've ever seen it on since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't "insert other media" and I can't use the "link" button anymore either. Anyone know what the deal is? I've cleared cookies, I've tried different photo hosting, I've tried IE and chrome, I've tried my work comp. It's like the site is anti-content. How are you guys posting photos in content? This is literally the best I can do: >> Lighting Pic here (by me) >> http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/SkylineView/media/image1_zpszkzmwigv.jpeg.html If anyone has the ability to drag it out of purgatory and into the thread... please do!

gene Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Lisa Vanderpump from Bravo tv/Restaurant Bar fame stayed at Post Oak this past weekend: While in town, Vanderpump and her entourage stayed at Tilman Fertitta’s Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston and dined at Mastro’s Steakhouse the night before the H-E-B appearance. She raved about the hotel and its pet-friendly policy — yes, Vanderpump had a pooch in tow — especially the in-room doggie dining menu. “It’s the most gorgeous place on Earth,” Vanderpump said of the Post Oak. “It really was the nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed at. They looked after me like I was a queen.” as seen here: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/life/food/article/Lisa-Vanderpump-s-latest-rose-vintage-has-hit-13625093.php 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
