bobruss Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 It seems they just spread them across the whole southern side of the upper floors to reach the southeast corner. Thats compared with the rendering, which only had them on the southwest corner. Makes much more sense. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmitch94 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I wonder what will be on the roof of the shorter side of the building. Looks like the floor on the taller portion of the tower that is on the same level has taller ceilings and different glass. Does anyone know what's going to be up there? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier to advertise balcony views of downtown rather than balcony views looking south. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hindesky Posted September 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2019 They had taken off 9 vertical sections when I went by this morning, that's as far as they can go as there is a building tie-in to keep them from going down any further. I assume an AT crane is going to take down the rest soon. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrockpotandGravel Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 The post below was originally posted in this thread October 2, 2019. Since all of my content on the forum was deleted, I'm reposting this. Update on a ground floor retail tenant coming to Hanover River Oaks at 2651 Kipling, Houston: Some sort of Mexican or Mexican-influenced restaurant will be one of the tenants here. Legal documents were filed with the county this week by HRO Property Owner LP. The tenant listed in the agreement is Flora Mexican Kitchen. There's a Flora Mexican Kitchen LLC and a trademark registered last year. The restaurant is tied to Clark Cooper Concepts (Ibiza, The Kitchen at the Dunlavy, Punk's Southern Food) In June, Charles Clark and Grant Cooper sat down with CultureMap and hinted more projects may be coming. Flora Mexican Kitchen is one of them.http://houston.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/06-27-19-whats-eric-eating-podcast-charles-clark-grant-cooper-clark-cooper-concepts/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably subtracted one floor for 13 so elevator count will go one higher and then there is probably a maintenance area or something they are counting on the roof that isn't really a floor but they will count. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really looked like the dense, residential and urban area I've dreamed of seeing come to fruition in Houston. Granted, the illusion goes away when you turn south on Kirby and see the Bed Bath and Beyond parking lot, but hey, it's progress! 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
