TowerSpotter

Awesome, this one has been around for so long the design slightly changed. Good to see some sort of work has begun.

Yikes, I don't like this at all.

Sign is up,construction may start soon

I am not talking about the renovation on 1111 rusk, I am talking about the new tower.

So I knew they were condominiums.

The Only change I would like to see is retail in the bottom.

Looks like the Pennzoil Place to me. Possibly a renovation?

I really hope they do.

I love the location just because it's near beltway 8 and near the proposed Generation Park. Both are bringing thousands of jobs and new industry's to Houston, which would strengthen the city's economy even more than what it is now. The state of Texas is a hub for space flight considering that Space X has one proposed for South Padre Island and Xcor has one proposed for Midland.

Yay 2 more floors.

A lot of millionaires would take a flight, especially famous people.

Just imagine how many people would come to Houston to take a flight into space.

Anybody know of this? It says something about it being in The Heights.

Wow very creative, great job cloud on the Mix-use tower.

That's what I had in mind as well, oh well. At least we got an update on Levey Park.

You are correct about that, at the time I didn't really think it through or had that in mind. Although in the near future retail will be needed considering the new residentials that are coming such as Hine's residential, Skyhouse, Ballpark Place, the midrise residential next to skyhouse, and the Texaco residential. (phase 2) Edit: As in retail I mean grocery stores, restaurants or/and fast food chains, and maybe some shopping boutiques.

In that case, I wouldn't know.

I wouldn't think so because there are a couple of buildings being built/proposed in downtown under 20 stories.

But that is for Levey Park, this one says near levey park not on levey park. Unless Levey Park is suppose to be a campus?

An Office campus is proposed by Midway and is to go up near Levey Park. Houston Chronicle: http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/2013/09/vitol-set-to-occupy-new-upper-kirby-development/
