monarch Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) ^^^ there is simply no other way to describe ASPIRE POST OAK. the extraordinary interior design alone... is costing be-gillions. the resort pool terrace is something straight from the POST OAK HOTEL. the bathroom illustration is clean... cool...ultra modern...spacious... and straight out of my dreams. the front entry interior illustration again... looks like it arrived directly from the POST OAK HOTEL. "amazing"... indeed.... Edited March 5, 2020 by monarch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nahh, they will convert it to a luffing crane, and keep extending the jib, then leave the crane buried in the building when they are done.😁 (cabin fever is making me loopy). One of the coolest things I ever saw with cranes was in Doha, where they disassembled the crane tower from the bottom, and dragged the sections out of the basement before closing up the access hole. That was for a luffing crane in the middle of the structure. I had wondered for a year if they were just going to leave the crane tower in the building, but that seemed an expensive waste. On another building, there was the luffing crane on the edge of the building where I saw some guy with a pile of rags walking on top of the operator cabin, not tied off, carefully cleaning everything. Pretty scary to watch since the cabin was 200+ feet off the ground. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rounded canyon of buildings looks so cool. I would be shocked if Dinerstein Companies hasn't tried to lock up anything on that side yet. I'm wondering if after all the closures if we will enter a new age where land all over the city starts trading hands again due to closures or bankruptcies. Lots of new possibilities for future growth with all the shake ups. Not exactly the way one would want this to happen, but it could be the change necessary to get many areas of the city denser. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I really dig the color choice of glass and metal trim on this one! The black and silver is certainly different than the typical bluish-gray hue we’ve come to expect. I did not pick up on the colors in any of the initial renderings. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. What really matters at the end of the day is how the effort of putting in BRT or any type of transit spurred the project leaders to turn what was just an ordinary non-descriptive road you could find anywhere else in Houston, into an actual unique looking place befitting the name of "Boulevard". Certainly not perfect, but miles better than it ever was and will be a great foundation for this whole area, and spur better development, and apparently it is already doing just that. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
