editor Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I like it. One of my doctors in the TMC has an awesome view from her office. The problem is the buildings. So few of them are worth looking at. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arche_757 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) Agreed that this is certainly an improvement to much of the architecture around the TMC, particularly for the big hospitals. How is this 28 floors? I count at most 22/23 - making an assumption the taller level atop the podium is a single floor.

Popular Post DotCom Posted April 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2022 https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2022/04/25/houston-methodists-centennial-tower.html Houston Methodist kicks off construction of $1.4B tower in Texas Medical Center Apr 25, 2022, 4:01pm CDT Houston Methodist has begun construction work on the $1.4 billion, 26-story Centennial Tower in the Texas Medical Center. Site preparations have begun for a $1.4 billion, 26-story tower that will add hundreds of hospital beds in the Texas Medical Center, Houston Methodist announced April 25. Centennial Tower, as the project is called, will house a new and larger emergency department and enhanced imaging services. It was designed to replace Houston Methodist’s main building at 6565 Fannin St., which ultimately will be demolished along with West Pavilion, according to a news release. When it is completed in 2027, Centennial Tower will have nearly 400 patient beds, including 175 new beds and 207 beds to replace those in Houston Methodist’s main building. In all, the tower will replace existing space for transplant medicine, intermediate care and surgical intensive care. It will also replace seven existing operating rooms, adding the latest technology, and add two additional operating room suites and enhanced radiology services. With 54 beds and additional suites, the new emergency department will be nearly twice the size of Houston Methodist’s existing facility. “The larger, more convenient emergency entrance at John Freeman Boulevard and Bertner Avenue will include pedestrian and ambulance drop-off sites, ambulance bays and easy in-and-out access,” Houston Methodist said. Additionally, the 14th floor of Centennial Tower will have an outdoor rooftop garden where patients and their families can relax while receiving medical care. Houston-based EYP Inc. designed the building, while Vaughn Construction, which is also based in Houston, is serving as general contractor. The new tower will connect to the Paula and Joseph C. “Rusty” Walter III Tower, which opened in 2018 and houses the Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center and the Houston Methodist Neurological Institute. That tower encompasses nearly 1 million square feet, cost $480 million to develop and includes the capacity for 366 beds and 18 high-tech operating rooms. It houses Houston Methodist’s DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center and the Houston Methodist Neurological Institute. The Paula and Joseph C. “Rusty” Walter III Tower won a Houston Business Journal Landmark Award in the Medical category in 2019. It was named after Paula and Rusty Walter, who donated $101 million in 2017 to Houston Methodist, the largest philanthropic gift the nearly 100-year-old hospital has ever received. “Together, the towers will add an impressive profile to the Texas Medical Center skyline,” Dr. Marc Boom, president and CEO of Houston Methodist, said in the April 25 announcement. “We are building this for our community, showing our commitment to the future of health care at Houston Methodist as we continue leading medicine for decades to come.” 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Highrise Tower Posted May 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2022 Houston Methodist Hospital Centennial Tower https://www.eypae.com/client/houston-methodist/houston-methodist-hospital-centennial-tower Scheduled to open in 2027, Centennial Tower will stand as one of the tallest buildings in the Texas Medical Center (TMC) skyline, proudly representing Houston Methodist’s commitment to leading medicine. Centennial Tower continues the iconic architectural identity of Houston Methodist TMC and, with Walter Tower, reinforces the new front door of the campus. But these spectacular medical towers are, first and foremost, places of advanced patient care and healing with calming touches—such as a green terrace nestled between the two. As a healthcare system that is constantly adapting and evolving, Houston Methodist was ready to renew its aging patient facilities in the TMC. EYP developed a long-range campus renewal master plan that started a decades-long journey, with the Research Institute and Outpatient Center completed in 2010 and the 22-story Walter Tower opening in 2018. The new Centennial Tower will add patient beds, an expanded emergency department, and advanced neuro- and cardiovascular surgical capabilities to the hospital’s flagship campus. At 29 stories and with capacity for 382 private, inpatient beds as well as diagnostic and treatment spaces, Centennial Tower will connect to existing Houston Methodist buildings on multiple levels to allow for integration of care and operations. At a central drop-off entryway, a warm wood-clad canopy with an oculus welcomes visitors into a light-filled, uplifting space. The lobby has a timeless, museum-quality feel with multiple skylights, where you can pause and get your bearings (and the information desk is right there, if you need help with that.) 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those things are dope, crazy to think they have gone from unicorn status to common in such a short time. I've operated several different Mantis crawlers and hated them, seemed like 1980's style technology that weren't operator friendly. When they got bought out or merged with Tadano I thought they would be better but the one I operated was more like a Mantis than a Tadano, which are the best cranes I've ever operated. The one I operated was basically a Mantis with the Tadano computer. Hopefully they are better now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 The refinery I was working at had mostly Grove Rt cranes when I started but by the time I left all the Groves had all been replaced with a total fleet of Tadano Rt's from 15 ton - 160 ton, all the operators loved them. They were considered the cream of the crop as far as rough terrain cranes go. The one in Highrise Tower's pics look more like the real Tadanos. The Mantis cranes had horrible sight lines, operator couldn't even see his right track which could be a hazard if someone was standing there. Uncomfortable seats, you had to get your back off the seat to reach the crane levers, just bad ergonomic design. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
