Popular Post hindesky Posted May 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2019 They were jumping the tower crane on Saturday. Started my bicycle ride here and finished here too since I live in the neighborhood across Montrose Ave. Talked with a rigger as they finished up and he said they jumped it 4 sections and will probably jump it one more time. At this point they were finished. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Our constantly changing skyline must make the google maps people feel like they're playing whack a mole, with all of the high-rises and midrises popping up out of the ground all over town! 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the current renderings of Houston are significantly different, I believe that imagery is from either 2013-14. It's just a testament to the rapid development that has taken place in the past 5 years. While I would love to see new imagery, if it's going to take this long to update I would rather have them update it in 2023 or 24 so that we see developments like Texas Tower, the Preston, and Arise Post Oak done by then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 For all of the clamor, it looks like neither one of the buildings really blocks either ones best views. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the area inside the loop, we already have new imagery (from February 2019) if you turn off "Globe" mode in Google Maps, to disable the 3D view. But yes, the 3D view is quite old, from about February 2015. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But your average joe checking out Google Earth will still see the older imagery if they don't adjust the settings or are viewing the 3D imagery from Google Maps, so it will be nice when they finally update it again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarathonMan Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 This building is going to look really nice when finished. I was worried about it’s close proximity to Hanover Montrose, but as I look at it now I think they did a great job positioning it so that there is minimal interference. The angle on the east face helps to protect Hanover’s views to the south. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Headed to Kroger, noticed the climber up on top. 4 sections on the ground ready to go up. Probably the last climb needed to complete the building. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
