monarch Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 ^^^ wow! maybe, they can add a bit of a bluish hue to it, just to tone it down a bit. wow indeed.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Stonian Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) The entire vertical lighting from the ground to top floor is indeed a lighter blue. The only white lighting is the 2 1/2 story box on top. Very well done. In fact, many of the new buildings being completed have added lighting features. The new BHP Billiton has a larger 3 story open top similar to 3737 that lights up at night and the 40-story 2929 Weslayan apartment building not too far away from this one has been testing a dramatic ground-to-top floor LED scheme on both sides of the building which highlights the center portion of the curved balconies. It's so bright that I can't imagine they would have it lit up year round, but I anticipate it being lit up during the holiday season.

rechlin Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Yes, they were testing it a few weeks ago on about 2/3 of the building. Was hoping to get a photo when it was all up but I haven't seen it on in a while now. It looked very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Anyone know how leasing is going with this one? Solvay Chemicals Inc. moved into the newly completed 3737 Buffalo Speedway office building, which delivered in November. Roughly 42 percent of the building's 385,000 square feet is leased, according to the report. HBJ took a tour of Solvay's new digs, which have all the makings of the latest wave in office design, including sound-masking architecture, glass walls, a game console in the kitchen and creative yet historic murals. http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2016/01/08/see-which-houston-office-buildings-wrapped-up.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intencity77 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 The building itself came out very nice but the garage facade and placement are atrocious. They could have at least put in GFR on the side facing Richmond. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swtsig Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 not very old, maybe 30ish years but they allegedly would have incurred stiff penalties if they did not deliver the hotel by a certain deadline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
