Lol for real, great photoshop...

It could definitely use a little bit of color. Some sort of climbing vine on the walls would be cool.

I mean it's only the second one here...this isn't China where you see 20 copies of the same bundling all clumped together....I don't think it's fair to call Skyhouse "run of the mill" just yet...maybe on the Skyhouse Main thread

It is weird because they're impliying that Sean Connery is not the biggest..

It's supposed to appeal to a certain psychopathic group that have always dreamed of living inside their favorite actors..

Neat-o

I can back him up on that.

Yeah ok Randall, I'm suuuuure this is it. Yeah okay buddy I doubt it.

So 8-9ish floors of parking, 29-30 totol floors?

Yeah that's a good point; there shouldn't be any "side" to this, they should all be looked at as alternative forms of getting from point A to B. I don't understand how you can ever form a "battle" between the two.

Because it used to be pretty flat in that area now there's a lot rising. Weird in a good way.

*jeopardy music*

It's gotten pretty quiet around this...better than the 4-5 month long intervals we were used to I guess..

Ah man that's sexy af damn they outdid themselves with this one

The floor plan names are pretty trill

It's kinda weird going down Washington seeing this and the other project a few hundred yards down at the roundabout.

Lol rekt

Idk I sorta agree with him...not the pretentious part tho

I don't think there is another street like it in Houston or maybe even Texas.

Uhhh a little bold maybe?

Ohhhh now I know why Howard posts pics of his Porsche and pistol...it's because he's got a "small crane"

*shi*ter's full

I think I've read that the soil isn't an issue. Besides, if the soil was that much of a problem, we shouldn't have supertalls downtown because of foundation issues.

As for elevated, besides the "ADA compliant stations" problem, I have a running theory that nobody really likes elevated structures for their aesthetic value. I'm pretty sure there's a great number of people who still think that, say, the Pierce Elevated is ugly and an eyesore but has a real purpose, and that same principle is used for why GO/OF was so against the HSR, or why Harrisburg wasn't fond of the original overpass idea. You could argue over how wide or how tall those structures are, but I think the core principle is still there.

Yeah I guess that all makes sense and you babe a very valid point.

I heard the "soil" issue from my father who has been practicing civil engineering here for over 30 years. But he's old so maybe one of us young whippersnappers can cook something up

I believe there's also the issue of soil, which in Houston, is pretty much a swamp.

Not an attack, was actually curious. Calm yourself mate

HEB promised nice, shiny stores off West Fuqua and Beltway 8, Veterans Memorial in Acres Homes, etc....

nothing ever showed up but when they developed this "JOE V" concept they dropped that in all minority areas except the Fuqua location which remains vacant to this day...even had a meeting where they built a JOE V off West Bellfort and everyone there saw that the McClellend guy (president) rushed in and out and did not care when they wanted to explain why there was no HEB coming?

HEB could easily convert it to a decent HEB if they wanted to but it's there for quota purposes as if it closes down and they try to steer the traffic to Gulfgate, all hell would break loose

yall can keep the red colored glasses on if you want

Huge is a mob boss, you heard it here first.

Sorry guys, realized how extreme that comment was from this half of the divide. Is this how the..other side lives? Kinda silly if you ask me...
