houstontexasjack Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 The design is nothing groundbreaking, but to me this tower is to Market Square what OPP is to DiscoGreen.Curiously, one of the proposed amenities of this tower is a specialty grocery store at ground-floor level. The parallels are definitely there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astros148 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 this building is actually looking better then i orginally thought. the color scheme actually matches the surroundings, and this adds great walkabailty density in that area.
