    Sorry for the ignorance, but in the (theoretical) highway realignment downtown, what would this 45/59 location look like?
  2. EllenOlenska
    They look better than in the pictures, actually...the insides are quite nice. Wood floors and a surprising amount of space. They're renting them for about a dollar a square foot--which is a lot better than the old garden style apartments. From what I understand they're doing them in Brooklyn as well as Amsterdam. It reminds me of that Lawyer's train-car office exiting 45 North into Downtown.

    I'm a graduate student in English and Publishing at Sam Houston State. I want to be a professor (though I have had thoughts of going into real estate and development.) I moved apartments this year, and went to a lower priced affair that actually was a stack of shipping containers. Other than the fact that sound reverberates outside and in (and how it does) I've liked it quite a lot, and wondered why such cheap projects weren't more normalized. To say that a different way, why haven't I seen more, and would any engineers explain the physiology of these structures.

    I think Houston is filled with faintly "imprisoning" looking facades, some I like some I do not. But (and maybe I'm being generous) I think the Cathedral handsome when taken in from a distance.

    On the subject of tall buildings in Midtown, I'm trying to work this out: there is this redevelopment, the office component of the superblock, and the handsome Louisiana at Anita block, and of course this (http://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/30772-residential-high-rise-proposed-for-midtown/) which may or may not be this.

    But what about people who accidentally fall?
  9. EllenOlenska
    As someone that grew up in Pasadena, any growth down that way is exciting for me.

    This construction was on west campus. It looks to be student apartments.
  11. EllenOlenska
    Large machines are present.
  12. EllenOlenska
    A bit different looking than the renders--somewhat looming if pedestrian.
  13. EllenOlenska
    I'm not angry, so much as puzzled why this isn't being proposed for midtown.
  14. EllenOlenska
    You know that melancholy feeling when you're excited for something that you think you should be disappointed in.

    I note this because it is the building that had Cafe Eccell move much to the chagrin of a few of my friends. (Eccell is now over on Texas on the Bryan-CS border.) It looks to be an apartment complex called the Domain (there are somewhat pedestrian renderings of it out there) but I only know that after some relatively casual googling.

    I agree, Utterly--the rendering has some odd features: it creates a handsome view for a brief moment only to be obscured by the highrise and become a view of an alleyway. I wonder if something is supposed to be in that crevice--like a line of hedges or something.

    I'm probably naive, but if 45 was buried, this might be quite the marketable corner. I imagine that that concept I saw on paper, perhaps earlier this year was just that: conceptual.

    Some of the buildings on land, I believe allotted for the biocorridor. One of the buildings is Caliber's.

    And because the Plaza and Rise are conflated...some pictures of the redevelopment.
  20. EllenOlenska
    Some pictures of the Rise.
  21. EllenOlenska
    If I may say, I'm a little more excited about the prospects of this one--perhaps because it will be more or less connected to the Northgate development. A few pictures of the site.
  22. EllenOlenska
    These are a few from the Stack. The third picture is from the glass-clad stairwell inside the Physics building.
  23. EllenOlenska
    Here are a few from the Hospital

    Now, I apologize, in advance. I'm a long time viewer, first time poster in this forum. I attended A&M for my undergrad and many of my friends are still there so, when visiting I decided I'd take a few snapshots of buildings in this section. To keep it fresh, you know. Next time, I'll get to the places at Northgate. Funnily, I had a friend who told me (what I took to be a tall tale) that the CIA had offices in the building (something I didn't very much believe) but I do not know who operates out of it, and a security guard comes around after you if you linger in the parking lot, as I did to take these pictures.
