    Well, where the RR tracks are now was pasture at one time. Needs change and the tracks need to be addressed. Lowering them would be best.

    I was in Dallas recently and they certainly have this type of development down pat. Plus the park over the freeway Is incredible. It’s a remarkable time to live in Houston as we watch our city densify.

    They can sue all they want for blocking their views but they won’t be successful. Every building blocks (or changes) someone’s view.

    I meant odd in a good way as Williams has stood tall and proud, yet alone for 30+ years.

    This makes me so happy! He certainly has the $$$ to do it. It will be so odd to see something this tall close to the Williams Tower! Exciting!

    A hotel would be great! Of course, LaColombe D'or will have a some hotel space in their new tower. The views from this corner would be incredible.

    There is no hope. RD has Vegas taste. He is always able to sell them though. The most disappointing one to me is his Cosmopolitan. Ugly color and squatty. He should have put a spire or something on top. It ruins the view of Post Oak from the south. Hopefully Hanover's (or whoever is building where Ninfas and ATT were) will completely block it.

    Off the topic, but I don't see a thread anywhere. How tall of a building do you think Hines will do on the corner of D'Amico and Waugh across form Whole Foods. We all know Hines doesn't mess around.

    Thank you. I'm sure @Houston19514 knew exactly what I meant. Maybe in Beaumont TCB tower would be considered super tall. We haven't had a signature high rise since the 80's, and certainly no super tall like Chicago is getting.

    I think it is crazy that we don't have a super tall. We have been stuck with a 75 story as the tallest since 1983. That's crazy.

    Could that ramp look more tired? Geez. Get some paint or powerwash it. It's not Sharpstown!

    How do they put the siding on in between those?

    Blame Afton Oaks. They were militant. We could have had monorail in the '80s. Above grade no less.

    I just don't see how there is enough space for the parking etc. And the luxury mid-rise "Giorgetti" will now be facing this. Wonder what effect that will have on the sales.
  15. Dakota79
    I wish it was for sale! That would be great as the views wouldn't change towards Discovery Green.

    I have been a few times in the last month to watch the Astros on their screens and grab a burger. It is an easy place to eat, and then my kids go to Discovery Green afterwards. I really like taking out of towners there as it shows off the area, and that downtown is alive.

    WOW. I didn't realize it would be so close to W Gray. It will look massive there. Very nice building, IMHO.

    The missing "t" in Hunington is a clue to the quality of the project! Kidding.

    Me too. We need the density. As far as I can tell the only way to get Texans out of their cars is to make parking expensive and difficult. New York City is hot and humid in the summer and yet without thinking you can walk 20 blocks. 5-10 years ago you wouldn't see a pedestrian in Houston unless their car broke down. We do need some pedestrian overpasses though for Westheimer at Highland Village, Allen Parkway, Post Oak @ Westheimer etc so we don't get mowed down! I love this city though and we are living here in a very exciting time.

    It is very nice, but the views to the east will one day be blocked when they redevelop the center where Fit, Cafe Express, etc is. I am excited to see this addition to our skyline. I would happily live there.
  21. Dakota79
    I hate that it doesn't have more windows. Think of the views that are missing with all of those panels.

    I want to live there. I wonder how much the cheapest one is!
  24. Dakota79
    For the love of GOD it can't happen soon enough. It's holding down that whole section of Midtown.
  25. Dakota79
    It doesn't look as tall as i thought it would. Also, they are not using the same materials and color scheme as the rendering. It looks good, but wow - the retail is so close to the street.
