Amlaham Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 One less strip center with a giant billboard-like sign, one more beautiful building. Not only is this building modern, but it has dimension (isn't a box) and incorporates multiple elements (isn't all glass). Also, they understand how important it is to place the main showroom close to the Westheimer street level. Everyone driving/walking by will be able to get a glimpse of the inside. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HouTXRanger Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Great points. Also like how the parking lots are tucked away on the secondary street, and wow there are even bike spots? Is this walkable places compliant? Cuz the ordinance isn't anywhere on westheimer . . . neat. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amlaham Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 This is now called West 22, which is technically AB modern according to their website, the plans are obviously much smaller :/ I hope the design is still similar and just on a smaller scale 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what many have said on here, sign permits are very hard to get but old signs can be grandfathered. So most projects keep the old sign and continue to pay the permits for them and when it's time to put the new one in they just get a sign company to create new graphics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will almost certainly be repurposed for the new business. You rarely see pole signs taken down as a result of new construction, as they were grandfathered when the city updated its sign ordinance some years ago. Under the current regulatory framework it can be difficult, expensive, or not possible to erect a new sign - it's far easier to repurpose an existing one. The classic example is the old Cactus Music sign at W. Alabama and Shepherd, which was repurposed for the Whole Earth Provision Co. when the previous incarnation of Cactus closed down and moved out.
