Maybe if they ever get the Post Oak and University line running; continuous spacious side walks on both sides and well landscape. Otherwise it will be nice to gaze upon from a far but not so pleasant to be out on. Clean up Main street square, throw in some stores and restaurants and it will easily feel better than Post Oak. I know we all love Architecture on here but the most beautifully frosted cake may still taste like crap. Transit streets and "type A" street changes to Chapter 42 amendments went in place in 2009 that should, over time, result in positive results. You can't forcibly change that which already exists, but future development--which no doubt will be forthcoming en masse once the transit line is up and running--will change the streetscape in a pedestrian friendly way. All of that surface parking on Post Oak Blvd should be looked upon as a blank canvas patiently awaiting an artist's brush strokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a very accompanying design. I give it two thumbs up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I guess they're just joined together. No that must be a future building for the site where the Rice grocery store once stood. The rendering is too accurate on the other buildings like the Bilitton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HNathoo Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I’ve heard the uptown apartment market has gotten crushed in recent months. It’ll be interesting to see who gets their funding to develop these ambitious projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, I just saw a report this morning that apartment rents market-wide are projected to increase 4.5% in the next year. Uptown's occupancy rates is right at the market average; it doesn't seem to be hurting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinsanity02 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Beautiful building if they stick to the renderings. Will add to Uptown. Waiting to see what happens to the empty lot across BLVD place/Hanover towers. That lot almost begs for a high rise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I didn’t post photos, yet, but they’re punching holes for the fence posts. Also chopping down small tree limbs to make way. This will be a chain link fence, I believe, for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
