kjb434 Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 It's SNOWING!!!LOLWho knows. I'm remember growing up in the sugar cane areas of Louisiana and during the fall we would have black specs falling from the air like in Schindler's List. It was from the burn process on the sugar fields to burn off all the excess and leave the main portion of the cane for harvest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoog Posted June 20, 2005 Author Share Posted June 20, 2005 No telling.But my new view is wonderful. Overlooking city hall, the old library and tranquility park and Bayou Place II.Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjb434 Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Cool.Meanwhile I'm on a second floor in a suburban office in Northwest Crossing (290 and Hollister).The only good views I get is when I go to the six floor to bother our accounting and marketing departments. I can see all the skylines of Houston except for the TMC since it falls behind Greeway in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I got a note today stating that 1100 Louisiana is now called Enterprise Plaza. The person didn't supply a reference and a quick Google search turned up nothing.Anyone know if this is true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNiche Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Anyone know if this is true?Probably. A pipeline operator by that name recently purchased the building.It's a good name for the building. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Am I the only one who noticed that this building is the exact twin to dallas' Lincoln Plaza.....That's weird. Lincoln Plaza in Dallas looks a bit more like Marathon Tower then 1100. 'enterprize plaza' was designed to look like the BoA in San Francisco.

Houston19514 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Lincoln Plaza in Dallas looks a bit more like Marathon Tower then 1100. 'enterprize plaza' was designed to look like the BoA in San Francisco.If so, they didn't do a very good job. Dallas' Lincoln Plaza looks more like SFO's BofA than does 1100 Louisiana.

Montrose1100 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 If so, they didn't do a very good job. Dallas' Lincoln Plaza looks more like SFO's BofA than does 1100 Louisiana.I should have re-worded it differently... 1100 "pays homage" to BofA in San Francisco. They were both designed by Skidmore & Owings.Lincoln Plaza doesn't look more like anything other then Marathon Tower. Yes, they have bay windows, but both Marathon's & Lincoln's Horizontal windows wrap around, without any seperations. And BofA doesn't have 3 angles in the bay windows, only 2. So in that sense, 1100, Marathon, and Lincoln do look like each other, more so then BofA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNiche Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I have been meaning to take pictures of the support beams in Heritage Plaza. They are something you can only see from way up here.I've heard about those, and can barely see an outline of them at certain times of day if I'm looking really closely. They're very odd. Diagonal.

EspersonBuildings Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I have been meaning to take pictures of the support beams in Heritage Plaza. They are something you can only see from way up here.If I'm not mistaken, you can also see the diagonal support beams on the Centerpoint Building at night. Kind of reminds me of the John Hancock Tower in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

editor Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 1100 LOUISIANA AWARDED LEED® GOLD CERTIFICATION(HOUSTON) – The Houston office of Hines, the international real estate firm, announced today that 1100 Louisiana has received Gold certification under the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED® rating system for Existing Buildings (EB). Developed, leased and managed by Hines, 1100 Louisiana is a 1.4 million-square-foot, 55-story office tower located downtown Houston. Clad in Spanish Rose granite, the building was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and was completed by Hines in 1980.Under Hines’ management, the building has earned the ENERGY STAR® label six times and has a current rating of 87. As a result, the building performs 40 percent better and saves $1.34 in energy costs per square foot per year when compared to the national average building. This translates to estimated greenhouse gas reductions equivalent to removing approximately 2,125 passenger vehicles from the road.Green building features and programs include: reduced heat island effect; reduced nighttime light pollution; a 31.5 percent reduction in indoor potable water use; comprehensive commissioning; installation of low-mercury lamps; building waste diversion of 50 percent; green cleaning; and alternative transportation options for commuters, among other things. Hines worked closely with Kirksey’s EcoServices group, which played an instrumental role in managing the administrative aspects of the LEED certification process.Hines Senior Vice President of Operations Cliff Gann said, “1100 Louisiana is an excellent example of a holistic approach to buildings. Good design augmented by operational expertise yields a better tenant experience and lower operating expenses for tenants and owners alike. LEED Gold was a natural target for this property.”1100 Louisiana is 98 percent leased to tenants, including: Enterprise Products; Enbridge Midcoast Energy; Forest Oil Company; King & Spalding; and Vitol Inc.; among others.Globally Hines is responsible for 145 projects, representing more than 89 million square feet that have been certified, pre-certified or registered under the various LEED rating systems. Hines was a founding member of the German Sustainable Building Council, and is active in the BRE Environmental Assessment Method program in the United Kingdom and the Haute Qualité Environnementale program in France.In 2009, Hines was recognized by the EPA, for the second time, with the ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence Award; Hines has 138 buildings, representing approximately 77 million square feet that have earned the ENERGY STAR label. Twelve Hines development or redevelopment projects, representing more than six million square feet, have been designated as Designed to Earn the ENERGY STAR.Hines is a privately owned real estate firm involved in real estate investment, development and property management worldwide. The firm’s historical and current portfolio of projects that are underway, completed, acquired and managed for third parties includes 1,111 properties representing more than 449 million square feet of office, residential, mixed-use, industrial, hotel, medical and sports facilities, as well as large, master-planned communities and land developments.
