fernz Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 That looks like the Apache site. They must've hired Hines to manage the development. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Anyone know something about this one? Pickard Chilton is the architect. Clearly Apache. Where did you get the idea that Pickard Chilton is the architect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Clearly Apache. Where did you get the idea that Pickard Chilton is the architect?I searched "609 Main at Texas" "Pickard Chilton" "Houston". I guess I was confused at the time, but it looks like their work anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KinkaidAlum Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Definitely Apache. I don't mind the design. It fits in well with BLVD place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Stonian Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Definitely Apache. I don't mind the design. It fits in well with BLVD place. Apache was my immediate guess as well..., looks like BLVD Place phase one behind the base. The design shown may just be a place holder but it is very similar to their project in Chicago - http://www.pickardchilton.com/mobile/300_north_lasalle.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortune Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 That may actually be the design of the building, IMO opinion it does resemble the building in the last renderings released of BLVD Place. Even in this rendering the other two buildings in the back ground have the same motif. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortune Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Which one is memorial point? Its the 16 story 400,000 sqft building proposed for the site of the First Baptist Church parking lot of off I-10 close to the 6-10 intersection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloud713 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 On the BLVD Place project plans I believe it says 33 stories. lol i just reread the statement and realized what they meant. not more than 34 floors, but that much floor space spread out over 34 floors. i wonder why the other plans say 33.

infinite_jim Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I kinda glad it doesn't take away from the Williams tower in terms of height. I bet if the San Felipe Plaza was on this site people would complain about it "lopsiding" and ruining uptown's skyline! btw I think that tower has great orientation tapering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston? Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Why? I think the Williams tower needs towers its size to compliment it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennyc05 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Why? I think the Williams tower needs towers its size to compliment it. Me too I think uptown needs some balance just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
por favor gracias Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I've always loved how the Williams Tower has "stood alone" in its immediate area in Uptown. It really commands attention and respect. That said, Uptown is large enough in size that something like the once proposed 53 or 55 story Ritz-Carlton would have added some much needed balance without luring very much of that attention away from the Williams Tower IMO.

brijonmang Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) What is the white crane building? Hanover's 29 story condo tower. @Golyadkin: is that the core starting to separate itself from the parking garage on the Hanover tower?
