I love the flatness of phase 1 as it creates a lot of space for rooftop gardens, markets (like Chelsea market), and nice ventilated space in the humidity of Houston. Also, it Represents the topography of the city well. But I am also looking forward to phase 2, when the towers come in. It would be awesome to see the different dimensions of height and flatness come together. It is very Houston like! Excited for this project

Catalyst: Residential High-Rise At 1475 Texas Ave.
pablog replied to TowerSpotter's topic in Downtown
For an upscale restaurant in a great location, that is common. My sister's friend owns Broken Barrel in Hughes Landing, and they spent about that.- 911 replies

I think it might be a good idea to have a light rail line branching out from the green line onto Hirsch Rd. To go through this developments. Make it accessible from downtown and vice versa

This is the first time I've seen that plan, and I love it. I hope the city still follows this plan closely and references back to it.

Mr. Hines is looking up thinking that he needs one more grandiose tower to cement his legacy. A tower that defines Houston and puts it on the architectural world map.

Market Square Tower: 40-Story High-Rise At 777 Preston St.
pablog replied to Urbannizer's topic in Downtown
I wonder if we will see nicer, higher quality architecture built around the city now that this building made national headlines even though the building itself isn't that great.- 1,894 replies

Holiday/Days/Heaven On Earth Inn At 801 St. Joseph Pkwy.
pablog replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
Turn it into a vertical public park with working elevators. Allow for graffiti, Glass mosaics, sculptures, etc. Have a slowly progressing theme as you travel up. Have some floors that are triple in height to plant a sky garden. Have restaurants, bars, clubs. I don't know... -
I haven't been to central market in a while, but looking forward to seeing it soon. Oh, and to go along with that variety of chips, get some Salsa Maya along the way! I can't put that stuff down, so good !

Or they are constructing Allen Center 5 as a hotel instead of an office building. #wishfulthinking

-A central plaza styled like those in Europe and Latin America. A fountain? -Need light rail extension to it maybe stemming from the green line, buses too. -Integrate the bayou. Restaurants and cafes right on it, but try to limit chains. -A big public market like Pikes Place in Seattle. -Use native trees and plants. No palm trees! -Mix modern/contemporary architecture with the warehouse brick look of the east end. No stucco or beige! -Use arches, we don't have enough of those. And incorporate them into ground floor retail and restaurants. -A clock tower that you can climb up to for the hell of it. -I'm not sure if the development goes across the bayou as well, but if it does, a signature bridge. Something with charm. -And lastly, make it a development where all sorts of people can go have fun, play local music, and interact. No matter how awesome it is, we don't need another river oaks district.
