Montrose1100 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 "Non-smoking"Ugh, god this fad is really starting to catch on here...I didn't think you could smoke inside a rented place in the city? Why would you want to anyways? I'm sure they allow it on their balconies and maybe by the pool, but certainly not indoors.Of course you maybe talking about a legal in Colorado kind of smoking, in which case is illegal all around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 At my apartment, you're not supposed to smoke inside, but you can out on your balconies, on the pool deck - everywhere outside. Looks very nice - but we still haven't seen the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFootsSocks Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Part of me hoped when it dropped that the drone would wobble and/or cut to a scene of a drone rapidly descending along one of the towers, but I guess that just leaves the door open for someone with a drone to do just that...

Nate99 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 We need a super tall between penzoil and BOA. In the middle of Louisiana Street? The long ago proposed BotSW Tower on the Milam/Walker/Louisiana/McKinney block would have been perfect for the skyline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bransocial Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 MST will add nicely to our skyline; hopefully when the market stabilizes a developer will actually build a 85-100 story tower with a public sky deck that rivals Willis (Sears) Tower in Chicago or 1 World Trade Center (Freedom Tower) in NYC. Houston deserves it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enriquewx91 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 The view coming into downtown from I-45N will change once 609 Main at Texas is completed from what I see. Looks like Fulbright and Houston Center will be blocked somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 As Ive said in the past I think that the Market Square 40 story high rise and the Hines 32 story project might actually block out much of the new Hines 609 Main coming in from I-45. Only because of where they both are positioned far north of 609 Main they seem to line up and will block a large portion of the lower floors. Just my guess.

Tumbleweed_Tx Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 They will, but 609 will be significantly taller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
