Sunstar Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 In reality, the next SkyHouse will probably be the next major project to finish downtown, which is amazing since they started so much later than some of these other projects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Town Man Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Now that Gator Purify mentions it, one of the things that puzzles me about Houston with its near Tropical climate is the number of darkish buildings and houses and roofs. It seems a more southern Spain or Greece light color buildings would work better in terms heat reflection. I guess it all comes out to what sells.It's the rain. Too rainy for those light colors. They'd streak. Spain and Greece are dry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonIsHome Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Love the photo. Imagine a couple more apartment/condos in that area. Waiting on the FairfieldWell there are the two down near St Joseph s hospital plus the two that Camden keep pushing back. A rejuvenated days Inn would do wonders for the Transit center district. I wonder if the owners own the entire block. If so what would they do to the surface lot? It's like surface parking attached to a parking podium.

astros148 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 they gotta do something with the surface lots right across the street. they have the station right there and should be prime spots for a high rise or even a small office building in the 30 story range. something here then the empty lots 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cspwal Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I think they have 2 or 3. Â They are working on the sidewalk on main right now, so that may delay the masonry work - can't do two things at a time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 This looks great with the rail station in front.This will be a very successful location if they ever decide to finish it. The brick masons have taken as long as the concrete work.The framers were fast though. It doesn't take any time to put up stick construction but have they even finished the brick on all four sides yet? Everyone joked but I bet Skyhouse 3 is finished and people moving in before this one opens.Seems like an expensive delay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
