TheSirDingle Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Saw this building peeking out of midtown while riding the bus from Grandparkway. This and the other high-rises being built, are going to change the skyline. They're going to be a huge catalyst for merging of the Downtown and TMC skylines. With the way things are going, this merging might happen sooner than later. Can't wait for this and Caydon to finish. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One that rivals the big cities! I say give Houston about 50 more years, it is bound to happen one day. I may not live to see it but it will happen.

rechlin Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Yes, and I'd guess it was probably from October given that the Caydon tower still has the cranes up and isn't quite topped out yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) No. The angle is wrong for it to be from the roof of the Holiday Inn. It has to have been taken from the roof of the former Days Inn/Heaven on Earth. Edit: Confirmed. The post on Reddit says it was taken "From the Roof of the Old Days Inn."

talltexan83 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I'd be curious to see the car traffic counts on this stretch of Main St. It would be great to see Main St. turned into a pedestrian/bike promenade from the Ion all the way to McGowan. i don't think it would effect too many drivers. I know the Drewery folks had pitched something like this last year......hadn't heard any updates. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonIsHome Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I don't think there is enough there there to justify a pedestrian promenade just yet. Maybe it can serve double duty where at a certain time the street converts to a pedestrian promenade. Kinda like how certain streets ( Bourbon, Royal) in NOLA are converted after 5 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
