Tumbleweed_Tx Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 ... and the moral of the story is... if you sell the units in a building based on the view, BUY THE LOT NEXT DOOR, TOO so the view can be there forever... LOL 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonBoy Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Looking from that angle I cannot wait until the strip mall on Post Oak is gone. I want to see all of PO lined with skyscrapers 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL And donate it to the city for "green space", get a tax write off for the donation, and then charge 20% for the units because of the park right outside the front door 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxtethogrady Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 So the McDonalds that resisted the coming of the Astoria got wiped away, after all?

However he said they will have to modify the design slightly because of the land they had to sell to the city for the widening of Post Oak. Also when the hell is Post Oak going to be finished? I looks like its been 90% done for months now. So it's the Interstate 85 of Uptown? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 @Houstonian4Life wonder why they removed the fence rendering? It will probably be placed back soon is my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richfish Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 It's gonna be really interesting to see what the south side units in the cosmo drop to per sq ft over the next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 If you look at the rendering it seems like the tower will be very narrow on the side that faces the Cosmo, so I don't think it will affect all of the Cosmo condos views. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Well, since they left the Cosmo out of the rendering its really hard to tell. I just was looking at the elevation view of the south end of the new tower and it just seemed very narrow and I thought that might not block as much of the Cosmo, if it had been a wider building.

bobruss Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I hope it blocks the Cosmo from view. I was just suggesting that more of those residents might not have their view blocked because of the design. For sure it will block that hideous base. 2 minutes ago, richfish said: Tragic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 the cosmo IS in the rendering...that is it directly behind the new building...they did a bad job representing it but that looks to be it just to the right of the building showing just a 1/3 of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
