tigereye Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 The Main St side appears to be 1 continuous space (left side in pic) stretching from Lamar to Dallas. This pic is from Lamar. Parking lot ramp is to the right, separated by a wall. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 This is going to add so many great angles, curves, and setbacks. It's not the skyscraper that many wanted and hoped for this block, but it will have such a positive affect on the immediate area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'm sure there is the technology but I'm afraid it would be very expensive. Something similar to the way eyeglasses turn darker in the sunlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonIsHome Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Wonder if they can make glass that changes colors, LEDs or something.Funny you mentioned that. The other day, while passing this building i was wondering what it would like if this building was red glass some of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillip_white Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 We can rebuild it. We have the technology! Pretty legit, but probably super expensive. Wonder if they can make glass that changes colors, LEDs or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 That angle makes me appreciate it's shape relative to the neighboring buildings. I know it's been stated before, I just didn't appreciate it until now. Would be nice if it were about twice the height (although I'm glad it's not blocking the 1000 Main roof). It's great to see it in full rainbow mode. A little connection to other large cities around the globe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollusk Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Still got a bit to go before it tops out - it'll be about 30' shorter than 1301 Fannin, the white building to 1111 Travis's left. I'm guessing it'll end up just a tad higher than where the taller of its crane booms is in this picture. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Huge Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 By Russell Hancock on Flickr Those three surface lots in the foreground by Toyota center are PRIME residential lots.If I was a developer with money, Id throw up a bunch of resi towers surrounding the Rockets home base.
