BigFootsSocks Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) Ah come on now guys, I know this project takes a lot of flak for its pace (deservedly slow) but the circle jerking has gotta stop somewhere! Yeah, the brick look bad because it was just laid and hasn't received a proper cleaning yet. All newly laid masonry work has that dirt effect to it.

Fortune Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 I think it looks great. these developers just can't win with some people. When developers use stucco people complain about it and say they should have used brick. Then when they use brick people find a way to complain about the brick. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All newly laid masonry work has that dirt effect to it. Now that I've looked at it more it does look decent - I didn't even think about that it would need to be cleaned.  The Fannin side has been painted black, so the brick on that side will look almost like it's floating 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alec Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 A lot of comparable apartments went up faster than this, but most of those don't look half as nice.

jmitch94 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Honestly I'm surprised no one is complaining about the Texaco development. They didn't even have to build that structure and when I walked by a few minutes ago it looked far from completion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechlin Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 There's absolutely no way the Texaco development will be done anytime soon. Just last week I saw the first progress on the roof in months -- they installed some ductwork for the HVAC system. At least they seem to have finally finished the framework for the big structure they added to the north part of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Purify Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I know the finished product is going to be all brown brick, but the white looks really nice and blends in well with the surrounding buildings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinsanity02 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
