Can anyone explain why there are new utility poles going up here? Did the developer piss off the city? -

Wells Fargo Plaza: Office Skyscraper At 1000 Louisiana St.
urbanize713 replied to Montrose1100's topic in Skyscrapers
Wow, that would be awesome! If this is a real proposal I hope that the curtain wall is raised no less that 80 ft as that would raise the hieght to 1072ft. Exactly 2ft higher than Transbay (Sales Force) Tower- 142 replies

Although the other side is not as great this is another stunning example as to how parking garages should be covered up. I bet those balconies will see heavy usage during Astros games.

KinkaidAlum I think you've out played your hand. Give it up. No one ever said this was about value. This was about the most prestigious public university in the state setting up a research campus in the biggest city in the state. You've tried to twist and turn it but in the end reality prevails. Just hang it up. Wisdom and money prevails. -

At the architecture forum for Gerald Hines most of the architects on the stage made this very point. When asked what has become the most important design element of a building their responce was the interaction with the public and its surroundings. Buildings could no longer be islands to themselves but rather create community/public relms that could be enjoyed by all. I think another example, if built out, would be the lobby of the Capitol tower were they are trying to bring things together rather then seperate and create a great public space.

It's really is a sad/angering day when this crap continues to happen in Houston. I hope the tide continues to change and our citizens respond to business' with their wallets. There is no power like the all mighty dollar. I will tell all my friends and family to take their money to any other hotel but the Lancaster and incourage other to do the same.

Midtown Restaurant And Bar Scene - More Coming
urbanize713 replied to WestGrayGuy's topic in Midtown
Midtown is probaly the Whole Foods, residential above Retail. Although you could argue The Mix (24hr Fitness, Jinya, Piola, Artisan's, Holley's, Bakery) is a similar concept. -

I think Heritage is probably the closest comparison to 609 as far as floor plates and coverage of the block. Heritage will also probably look bigger because its out in front.

If you look at the Chase Tower it actually has a significant set back on Capitol and Milam. I would say its probably only built on half of the block as well. I have actually always thought that the plates of chase Tower were rather small. I imagine as someone metioned earlier they did this to go higher. Wells also has a pretty big setback on Louisiana and and is by no means built to the edge on the other sides. I do agree with you on the beefier comment thought. For some reason those towers just seem huge. I think its probably just perspective. I was just admiring the dominant presense of Williams Tower in the Galleria yesterday but if you dropped it in downtown it would be ther third tallest and just look like one of the other towers in downtown. By no means am I diminishing Williams either just saying there is something to be said about perspective.

University Debates: Sports, Fundings, And Developments
urbanize713 replied to VicMan's topic in Off Topic
I did not fact check your figure but what I am 100% certain of is that all state funding comprises roughly only 15% of UT's yearly budget. The rest comes from donations and other sources. This speaks to the sheer size and organization. In fact UT just succesfully closed a $3 Billion with B capital raising campaign from its alumni. I am grateful for what funding comes our way from the state but UT is much much larger than that. -
