    I don't like it either, as a pedestrian. But, that's probably the reason of the developer.

    Incognito was a in the warehouse area just East of Downtown (now Eado), in late 90's.

    One way streets, and ballgame/event traffic would neccessitate multiple entry/exits. It's a good idea as a convenience for the tenants. Traffic congestion would be a major concern if I were considering relocation to the area.

    ^^ Nobody, back then, would have predicted that baseball would ever be played indoors either.

    I'll go up to Kirby, turn north and eat at Carrabba's about a mile away.

    ^^Crossed by mind too.

    Yes. This looks like it would be located West of the Elevated Rail line.

    That makes sense. Interesting to know. Thanks for the info.

    To me it looks as if the glass is opaque and seems lifeless and unlike glass on any other buildings. If anything, we are judging an unfinished project too early. But, I don't think we are being picky. Many of us are simply expressing and noting a common, and unusual observation...not really being nit picky. Now with Randall Davis, we get not picky.

    I agree. The glass does have a dull, dusty, cataract quality about it. But, it seems that the podium is the only part that has received the glazing so far, if I'm not mistaken. Perhaps the tower will have a different glass or maybe, when completed, it will have some kind of illuminated effect. Im hoping that there is something that we haven't yet seen. Because, so far...lifeless. On a positive note... I am appreciating the architectural contour of the structure and am looking forward to seeing some of the other architectural detailing that seems to be coming.

    I see it. In fact. He's all I see.

    Larry - You took that picture literally 2 or 3 floors above my office window. Welcome to 6565 West Loop South.

    It's not the garage. It'll be mostly Ballroom's and event space.

    It's a BEAST!!

    Is it because of the "not made of Bricks", issue, Avossos? ;-)

    Angie's List!?

    SuperBlock still looks clear, however.

    A large part of the ground floor was to be open to the tunnel level. I wonder how they will handle this?

    The Mattrose.
  20. Naviguessor
    Total Fail. On every Level.

    Nice Scale.

    Going to be The Dunlavy, Pavilion at Lost Lake. Event space and Café (I think) and will have Kayak/Canoe Rental. Went in last weekend to explore. Its really going to be great! Love the Water Feature which leads from the Street level to the lake itself.

    The octagonal shaped blocks are the giveaway.

    Barcelona.

    Pity. And the timing is weird for me. I was downtown on Sunday and I stopped to admire this building, surprised that I'd never really noticed it before. I even wondered if it was one of Nicolas Clayton's structures. You can really tell that it is. So, I'm happy that I spotted it and Identified it. But, really sad to hear that it is going. Always surprised at some decisions the Catholic Church, and other catholic organizations, make regarding their Architectural Assets (They were very close to demolishing Sacrad Heart on Broadway in Galveston, just a few years back.) And, their "efforts" to preserve and protect Bishops Palace were barely adequate, if that. They made the Galveston Historical Foundation pay a pretty price for the place, to boot. The Foundation is having to raise a huge sum of cash it just to bring it up to respectable and stable condition. What the Diocese could've done is to have given it to the Foundation, to ensure that the Palace would be taken care of properly, and open to the public...Rather than sell to the highest bidder.
