j_cuevas713 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 What if that Whole Foods across the street got rid of all that parking in the front and paved it over to allow for easier access from the sidewalk? I hate those ugly ass bushes in the front. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Made a new friend today! They’re currently flushing out a hole, or something similar so they can start the soldier piles. They’re going 60 feet underground? Dirt retention for the next few weeks. The rebar at the site is for the dirt rention. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloud713 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 It seriously is mind blowing how awful Randy’s garages are. At least he’s finally started incorporating (a tiny strip of) glass into them. That wall is so stark without the shopping strip in front of it.. can’t wait for this development to spruce up the view on Post Oak northbound. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatguysly Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 This one at least used to have some gray art murals on the side. They got taken off after the leaking or whatever issues and they resided the garage. Now its lost the little character it had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naviguessor Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 IMO, the "Art Murals" were a higher crime than the blank wall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatguysly Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Haha they were pretty bad and lazy. Not saynig I liked them but it wasn't this white wall. Either way RD has no idea what to do with garages. He's slowly improving. At least the new development on San Felipe will had Arabellas white wall on the east side. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 They could always attach something to it...like some kind of metal grid or maybe even grow some dang vines on the base....But yeah...something...hopefully the new building sufficiently covers up most of that blank view... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I was driving by this after work with a friend visiting and they thought that the podium of Cosmo was going to be an outdoor movie screen haha! I wonder if they just painted it dark gray at least, then it wouldn't stand out as much...I mean something should be done to at least make it less "stark" you would think! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasGeneral Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Wasn’t there litigation pending related to this tower? Maybe the speed at which construction is progressing and the lack of any formal ground breaking publicity is because of the litigation.
