I'm sure someone cares, but "Largest grappa collection" is hilarious to me.

The original shot I posted is a little misleading as it was taken at the top of the hill for the stage (right next to the road).
This pic is not nearly as successful as the others I took, but it'll give you an idea of the view from the middle of Discovery Green:
This is where I was standing approximately when I took the pic.

I love my Rokinon 12mm. I use it a lot for landscapes and astrophotography out at the beach.
So I notice they still haven't glassed over the southwestern corner on the top two floors. Ive been trying to figure out for a while now if those will be balconies, but haven't gotten a response. Balconies weren't shown in the original renderings, but if that is now the plan, does anyone know what rooms the balconies would connect to? Penthouses? The top floor looks like it has a taller ceiling, maybe a public space of some sort? Should be some great views from there..Definitely looks like two penthouses to me.
Looking at the Marquis website, there is a room type called "Executive Corner Terrace" has a Discovery Green view and a pool view. Sounds like that might be it.

As I mentioned in the GRB thread. Was walking around Discovery Green tonight trying out a new manual wide angle lens (Rokinon 12mm) and took a few shots of the Marquis. Looks to be fitting right in!

Oops, didn't post the cropped one I did. Bit higher resolution, too.

Was walking around Discovery Green tonight to try out a new 100% manual lens I got (Rokinon 12mm) and the new art display caught my eye. Didn't realize it premiered today!
The purple/blue highlights change to greenish every few seconds. Wonderful installation!

"Tianqing RED, as the major stakeholder, is partnering with Houston developer DC Partners on the project. The master plan will be designed by Gensler, which designed China's tallest building, the Shanghai Tower."
"A total of $500 million will be invested in the project. The planned first phase includes a luxury hotel of 150-180 rooms and a high-rise condo. Construction is expected to start by the end of 2017 or early 2018. Another high-rise condo, a class-A office building and possibly a luxury senior-living building will be built later.
Upon completion, there will be two condo towers with a total of 180 units along with the hotel, an office building and ground-level retail spaces. The project aims to become a new landmark in Houston."

I would imagine they would. My grandmother has a house with a tile roof and just had to go through with an insurance claim because it was damaged somehow and had to replace the roof. It was $60,000! Craziness.
