H-Town Man Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 1 hour ago, CaptainJilliams said: @ This design seems like an excellent 2007 period piece. I like it, but it doesn't feel super contemporary. The saving grace is the treatment of the ground floor and parking podium, which would not have happened like this anywhere in Texas in 2007. Also - is this the first development that emphatically states that Post Oak Blvd. will be walkable? BLVD Place came close but chickened out and put in a row of parking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In looks only. Not really in feel. Too much car traffic. 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.

Unless you want the homeless around your luxury development. Sorry. Concerning the Blvd project if it is executed as planned and including the Post oak line then yeah.

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...
