ChannelTwoNews Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 You're right. That "giant grassy driveway" actually is accurate.Gotta love the snowman reflection on the building! Heh, I saw that too... Then I realized it was the bell tower from St. Anne's which is actually across the street from the project. Bonus points for accuracy on that one.

TowerSpotter Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Yes and here's more proofhttp://www.bisnow.com/commercial-real-estate/houston/four-ways-to-backfill-retail/"Last week's mystery is solved: The "snowman" in the architect's rendering of Hines' multifamily project 21 Eleven is the reflection of St. Anne's steeple. Yes, the rendered reflection; that's one precise architect. 21 Eleven is officially in the dirt, and before you know it, we'll be able to see if they got the angle just right. Thanks to everyone who sent in their photo explanations!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatesdisastr Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 The design of these buildings remind me of a more modern take of a different era with the use of green and the color brick selected. I really like it and think it will fit in great with the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdude Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I don't object to palm trees, but they do seem a tad incongruous. That said I agree that the brickwork and color is a nice change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky-guy Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Earlier today I was driving down Westheimer and I saw something under construction. I know that that the plot of land used to be surface parking. Anyone know what it could be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drecey Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 That's going to be an apartment. That used to be the parking lot to the Cafe Adobe that they demolished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 First off, can we please rename this to 2111 Westheimer or something? It is a little difficult to find without the exact name of the project. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dakota79 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) The Westheimer lines will all come down. Unfortunately there are now 8 new huge poles on the southern end of the project on Peckham (4 on each side) and pitifully in true Houston fashion they will remain.

Triton Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 It looks very nice overall. The wood, the brick work... everything looks premium. The only really bad area is the lower right hand side of this first photo on the first floor. It's giant beige cinderblocks and I am not exactly sure why they didn't try to do something else in that area. Perhaps they will put a vine wall over that section but that small area does look really bad, right next to the road. It's still under construction so I guess we'll wait and see. 21 Eleven by marclongoria, on Flickr 21 Eleven by marclongoria, on Flickr 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess buildings like this likely have effective fire sprinklers in each unit but it still surprises me that code doesn't require concrete slabs between floors for buildings of this many stories. Is Houston unique or is this common around the country?I assumed that similar sized (height) resi buildings that are starting construction downtown would be slab between floors. I will need to pay more attention as they build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htownproud Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Thanks for the pics. I think this building is good awful ugly. Hopefully it will look better when it's done, but I think Hines really dropped the ball with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
