Great! It should be nice for the area and hopefully it has a rippling affect.

That's a great point because I drove by today and thought the same thing. It's not like that area surrounding the tower is ugly, but it is in dire need of some connecting developments with its surroundings. I think this tower is going to create that connection.

why do people in dallas be envious? They have a W hotel?

No, we are just killing them when it comes to downtown redevelopment. And they are trying with all their might to make "Uptown" Dallas the happening spot, when in reality, its pretty lame

If there is a topic already started can someone open it for me, but whats begin built behind the Crowne Plaza off 59?

Wow so along with Levy Park not too far away and the other development a little further down Richmond in Greenway Plaza, this area is gonna really beef up. I go to the Art Institute and I don't know if anyone else noticed, but they redeveloped the River Oaks hospital area too.

I also had a feeling of deja vu.  perhaps we are not always as anomalous as we might have assumed :-)

That picture alone made me realize that all the hate Houston gets is unwarranted... I mean not as of late, but in the past... Houston has been getting a lot of love the past 3 years from the media... GO STROS!

I seriously thought that pic of Chicago was Houston for a sec

YES PLEASE! What's the time frame on construction?

I hope that was sarcasm man lol but yeah we are killing dallas as far as our downtown is concerned, while they do whatever they can to hope they can keep their downtown alive.

Nice VRay model, I'm actually doing one for Williams Tower

Hotel Allesandra

Finger Ballpark residential

Hines Main tower

Skanska tower replacing Houston Club

Market Square tower (Hines or Finger, can't remember)

Alliance residential

Cultural Heritage Center near the ballpark

Macy's replacement (forgot the name, sorry)

GRB renovations

Texaco building renovation

Savoy building renovation

Old Central Bank building renovation

I know I'm missing like two or three other projects for downtown, I've never seen it like this before!

People in Dallas have to be dying in envy lol... HTown!

Life around the ballpark is going to be so cool. Kinda like Wrigley Field in Chicago. We have bars surrounding every side of the ballpark except right in front. So this is going to be a big game changer for the area.

I can't find the original topic so can a mod please merge topics for me? I noticed today that they seem to be building some sort of frame on the existing Houston Club site as they demo the building. Are they building as they demo? I've never seen anything like this before.

HOLY!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank God it wasnt Fingers development! Yeah it sounds like the developer set themselves up to get torched

I mean there are small pockets, but Id say 80% of Montrose is walkable

Nooooooooo!!!! Smh Im glad no one was hurt but what a total loss for the area... What other structures were hurt around it?

Wow, the Clear Lake area has always been nice. Can't wait to see this happen.

Now we can all agree why Houston is Americas coolest city... beautiful stuff lol

Ya know, even with some of the strip centers in Uptown.... at least most of them aren't garbage... this is gonna be one busy part of the city... I see lots and lots of foot traffic

This is going to be perfect for downtown! We just need to continue to connect Midtown with Downtown

Damn its about time! I thought this place would never take off!

The rendering is good. It's clean and simple. We don't need Holiday Inn going crazy with their color scheme.

If their projected start date is the first quarter of 2015, then I'm sure there will be another render change.

Sweet that Pac Sun is gonna be bad ass!
