Naviguessor Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Cloud. Interesting. It appears to be 19 completed floors on MM. Also, interesting to note it that the 19th floor on the Hilton is even at floor 12 or 13 on Hess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANTHONYHTOWN Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Noticed today that they have started installing some of the cladding on the East side of the building.  Sorry I didn't get a picture but I was merging on 59/69...in a company car. Be careful i know the feeling i finally got a shot of the hamilton and will try to get a pic of central square they are pretty much done with all the glass on the side of 45 not sure how the oppsite side looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monarch Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 ^^^ the only thing that i simply cannot stand regarding the otherwise inspiring video, is the outright lying about UPSCALE SHOPPING.

houstonfella Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 We have the fantastic Houston Center Park for shopping.  Yeah, I was a little amused at the upscale shopping in downtown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nativehoustonion Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 They don't have anything at the Houston Center Shops! I believe more retail will come once all the construction is done. Who know these fancy hotels will have Cadillac shuttles that take them to the Galleria and the River Oaks District. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 most retailers are waiting on retail "co-tenancy" to develop downtown before making the plunge. unfortunate, but hopefully someone pulls the trigger sooner than later, or Macys finally decides to plop that smaller format store down in the retail district.
