Chris. perhaps if you just posted the One shot, of Each projectt hat you saw, which showcased what you viewed,l.,,rather than every photo from every project, then maybe we could all enjoy them more...otherwise, they get skipped through.

Nole23 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Once the sports bar is up and running, this neighborhood is going to come ALIVE. Yea I can't wait to check it out as well. There will also be other restaurants at the street level of the hotel as well as restaurants at the bottom of GRB along the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samagon Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 There are enough helicopters flying around Houston these days. Perhaps someone could parachute into downtown to get shots of all of these buildings going up from all different angles. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monarch Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 ^^^ does anyone know just what those strange panels are.. located at the top right-hand corner at the very top of the tower?? why are they such a stark contrast from the rest of the building... are they designed for LED lighting / display activity?? why are these located upon such a very modern / contemporary skyscraper... as i do not recall seeing this type of abomination upon such modern-day skyscrapers located in chicago vs new york vs los angeles?? IMO, overall... this edifice is starting to come-together beautifully. however, i just cannot seem to comprehend this shocking / contrasting design at the upper r-hand corner of the main tower. it just seems really ugly and out of the ordinary.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krimreaper Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) They haven't finished putting in the strip Windows there yet.

monarch Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 ^^^ rendering refresher. apparently where the cooling tower portion is located at the very r-hand corner of the tower... the outside panels (off-white looking structures) shall possibly harbor an LED lighting display. should look beautiful at night... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samagon Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I would think the tower crane might be coming down in the near future. probably cheaper to keep using it to get stuff on the pool deck, rather than take it down and use a smaller crane for same task. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFootsSocks Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Anyone else think the "deck" needs a bit more shade structures than the rendering shows? I mean, there's a lot of wide open space up there, and in the summer that Texas pool will look really nice, but it needs some trees around it to keep the water and surrounding area cool. It's still Htown. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Talked with a Bigge crane rigger and asked him when the tower crane is coming down. He said it was supposed to have come this weekend but all the rain this week delayed it. He said he should start coming down next weekend. Scaffold is starting to come down on the north side. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinsanity02 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Love the shape of Texas. Not to start fights , but glad Texas didn't keep the 1845 boundaries. Would have been tough to make the lazy river. Can't imagine a lazy river using Maryland, West Virginia or Idaho either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avossos Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 the top of the black Houston Center tower (I don't know the name) is so horrible. I know the building is old, but the treatment of the A/C electrical stuff at the top seems so lazy. No effort to hide it. the building could be awesome if there was a renovation / addition of a crown. The top of Allen 3 is also pretty lame.
