    The Rangers new stadium has a large mixed use area outside if I remember correctly. I feel it could work here better because our stadium is in downtown instead of being in a development island like the Rangers.

    Looks like this Triyar Companies' Texas office is right next door in that black tower.

    I was stopped at the Kirby light and read the construction elevator plywood doors and the top one they had in place read 38 with two more floors above it and then the roof. So I guess this is actually going to be 40 not 39.

    I head once that zoning in Austin pretty much limits towers to only downtown so that's a big factor. 700 Louisiana was in Simcity 3000 you betcha it's an iconic tower! Edit: was able to find this Tried my darndest to find an image of it from the game but you can see it listed here.

    It will be interesting to see what caused this.

    I was there too. What a great event that was.

    The $10 extra they charge for them.

    I often take dates up there and it always amazes them with the views. Great pace to talk and stare off into the distance. Funny story I once took a date there after going to a wine bar but didn't realize that you cant walk up there after a certain hour so I tried to bribe the guard but he stayed true to his mission. She liked the gesture.

    According to their map it looks like it will stay.

    The roof is very Frank Gehry looking and I like it.

    What does that even mean? They want a community that is strictly residential with nothing else? I feel like this project would be way better than some abandoned buildings.

    It's always kind of amazing to see how much development is happening in the city and then to look at a map like this and see how relatively small of an area is actually being developed compared to the rest of the city. Thanks for the work Luminare!

    I'm sure a nearly half billion dollar project like this will think of maintenance.

    I'd argue more people would prefer a stand alone house even if it's a tightly packed one. I was looking at some condos and the killer was the fact that you have a mortgage and basically a rent too. Similar size and location and a condo is going to be significant more expensive.

    Y'all keep an eye out for any update videos/pictures from the museum or contractor. I saw a guy in a hard hat and vest behind the fence with what looked like a drone controller.

    A day late but here ya go. Some of the panels going up Closer view of them. Shot looking into the inside of the building.

    That's A LOT better to be honest. Now it just looks like a smaller older complex not the near tenement it does on street view.

    I live off McCue right off Richmond and if I want to go to Chipotle or Mod with my friends they demand we drive, it can't even be a 1/4 mile. People in this city do not walk.

    People see all the amazing architecture in New York (and I'm in no way saying Houston is on par with New York) and forget about the thousands of regular boring or downright ugly buildings in the city. I feel a little bad for saying this but is the building across La Branch still there, the two story apartment building in street view with window unit A/C's, peeling paint, shopping carts and jalopies parked under it. The people who live in high rise luxury buildings are not people I'd imagine wanting to live next door to a complex like that.

    Ill try to swing by if I can remember.

    Wow this got super off topic fast.

    New York has air rights because they have so many skyscrapers that they have a cap on how high building can be built. A developer will buy the air rights to adjacent properties and pool the height they bought to be able to build a taller building. This means that the buildings that sold their air rights cant builder any higher which allows more sun on the streets and makes them less claustrophobic. This video gets into it a bit. Also a really great channel. https://youtu.be/gYLQThUxpvQ?t=301

    Most machinery like this would be measured in operating hours.

    In the top right of the picture it looks like third floor.
