Here's the animation, from what I was told the client based their decision to move ahead on the project based almost entirely on this video.

Yes it was EC4, it was put in mainly to show that there were future phases planned for the site but the primary focus was on EC3.

Here are two more renderings!

There's one more exterior rendering and some interiors.

Here's a better version of that animation if anyone's interested, what a fun project!

What would it have been?

It was going to be an mixed use office/retail center, it was a 3 phase scheme with this being the initial phase.

Really? That almost looks too good to be for Houston.

It was going to be in the Woodlands off of Lake Woodlands Dr. which is why there's so many trees, unfortunately funding fell through.  It was different from everything around it and I think it would have made a nice addition to the area.

Awesome work! What software do you use for your renderings? I mainly work in Sketchup and then use another program like Podium for the rendering.  However, I work for a landscape architecture firm so we don't have too much in terms of architecture but I do get some in! Those are the fun days.

Thank you, we use 3d Studio Max and Vray along with Photoshop to handle any post work that needs to be done.  As far as the landscaping goes we use 3d models instead of 2d cut outs, it helps create a more realistic setting when you have that rich magic hour lighting. 

Here's one my firm rendered last year it's the second one down on the left, I can't attach pictures for some reason.
