Drewery Place: Multifamily High-Rise At 2850 Fannin St.
EllenOlenska replied to Urbannizer's topic in Midtown
I'm just gonna echo @CREguy13 and say something like this in midtown is really going to change the look of midtown. Houston is so spread out, a really tall building doesn't make much sense here. In some sense this sort of thing is necessary before we can begin to get very tall buildings. And I for one still remember when, except for two peculiar buildings, all the buildings in midtown were two to four stories tall.- 1,569 replies

That future 18th street monorail gonna be sweet

I know on other threads people are talking about this as a sort of central station/centerpiece whatever you want to call it. But what does it abut to the north. I really don't know. Is it gonna be a long fence along a train embankment to and from which no one can move?

As a person who only ever gets excited for whispers about trains (and buses too) this place thrills me. Might I have some critiques, sure. But frankly the thing is worthy of critique. It's cool in a whole lotta ways. It's possessed of a rather more severe grandeur than in the renderings.

I'm really of two minds on this one. I like a lot about it but it also makes me hope for additional phases.

X Houston: Residential High-Rise At 5501 La Branch St.
EllenOlenska replied to Urbannizer's topic in Going Up!
I am picking up what most of y'all are laying down. (However I might like the Houston House as an observer and non-habitue.) But I guess I feel like I'm less enchanted with the facade than I am un-enchanted with the garage. Is that more (much more) garage than is necessary to conform with regs? Or are they just doing all that garage for the hell of it?- 476 replies

Houston Endowment Corporate Headquarters At 3683 Willia St.
EllenOlenska replied to Urbannizer's topic in Going Up!
I'm actually a big fan of the Kevin Daly. My question is (and I have a hard time puzzling it out from the renderings/schematics) is there any plan to expand the park if indeed the clover interchange is removed? Is the clover interchange removal likely to be soon? Sorry if this is a little tangential to the matter at hand.- 256 replies

People talk about Montrose, Midtown, the Heights, the East Side and they're all right, but the future circum-Herman Park looks pretty tall.
