The Heron Museum District: Multifamily High-Rise At 4343 Woodhead St.

I'm all for highway improvements. Bury them below grade, improve the connections, reduce unnecessary mergers, and promote driver's education. Also, add 10 foot walls to the center. However, I'm also for mass transit. The best way to reduce congestion on the highway is to give a percentage of drivers a better option. More mass transit = less drivers on the road. Anyone who drives (and would continue to, despite a commuter rail option), would certainly agree to funding it to get more vehicles off the road? That' what I've never understood about the nay-sayers. "I'd never use it". Then don't? Wouldn't your driving experience be more enjoyable with x-amount less vehicles around you? 45 needs improvement. It's a sh** design.

Montrose1100 replied to Vertigo58's topic in Going Up!
Enjoy this project very much. Having friends in both Hanover buildings - can't wait for the retail spots to open up and become a destination. The park, the streets & sidewalks, stunning development.- 955 replies

Texas A&M Innovation Plaza: Main St. At Holcombe Blvd.
Montrose1100 replied to Urbannizer's topic in Going Up!
If it's one thing the TMC needs, is parking spots. My guess would be one of the Allen Center Garages, the Braeswood Garage in the TMC, or the Orange Garage in the Galleria. Chase Tower Annex/Garage isn't all parking - has offices on top.' This one is a beast for sure.- 546 replies

The Langley: Residential High-Rise At 1717 Bissonnet St.
Montrose1100 replied to musicman's topic in Going Up!
Like that this brick and beige stone has become the de facto design for the north/west Museum District. Is it a homage to the First Presbyterian?- 1,445 replies

Reminds me of the Ritz planned for BLVD Place last cycle here in town. Hope this tops 98 Red River, give Texas a better looking tallest.

The Allen: Mixed-Use Development At Allen Parkway & Gillette St.
Montrose1100 replied to jmontrose's topic in Going Up!
That's a shame. An equinox in this or general location would do wonders. The one in ROD is at the corner of traffic and rush hour. So many people want to join but hate the location (that live in Montrose/Midtown).- 1,657 replies

Being skeptical on 3% drop in COH homicide rate

Wish they would get rid of the Giant looming flood flights , and update to something shorter and more modern. Nothing ruins the Sabine Street view like the giant power lines and flood lights.

Hey Y'all, I don't know how accurate the source chart/numbers from CNN are, but the title says apprehended, *not* Mexico or Northern Triangle. It's to show the dramatic increase in crossings via persons originating from Nicaragua and anything south (especially Venezuela). Vs the raw numbers from the DHS site which look like a total number of persons, rather than excluding any country of origin. Anyways, back to the "scandal" of Hidalgo at hand.

Houston Endowment Corporate Headquarters At 3683 Willia St.
Montrose1100 replied to Urbannizer's topic in Going Up!
Take a drive down Richmond (starting at Kirby and heading West), and you'll get a sense this is very "Houston". I'm all for color and culture, but not every building needs to be a loud, eye-catching fuchsia. Allow the sky, trees, and flowers to frame structure.- 256 replies

36-Story Multifamily High-Rise At 3615 Montrose Blvd.

At least the pool is facing the south/west. Know some folks in La Colombe D'or and the pool isn't great after lunch time. Nice views though.- 292 replies

It's yet another fortress along Allen Parkway. I understand what you're saying, but it's fashionable for Houston.

The Allen: Mixed-Use Development At Allen Parkway & Gillette St.
Montrose1100 replied to jmontrose's topic in Going Up!
Not confused about what building you're referencing. Confused as to why you think this little infill building is worthy of ruining your photo. The patchy repair jobs on Memorial and giant garages in the background are more distracting.- 1,657 replies

The largest automaker in the world, who also sold more vehicles than any other in the US, doesn't represent our car-centric & international city? You know they also build the Sequoia & Tundra in Texas, right? Feel like Toyota Center is more fitting than Minute Maid Park. Particularly since Coca-Cola closed their offices in Sugar Land to move them to Atlanta. But I agree with you that something Space related would be cool. Doubt it would happen. Hopefully it won't be "Landry's Center".

The Chifley Houston Hotel At 2400 West Loop S.
Montrose1100 replied to Amlaham's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
Maybe 20-30 years ago Sheraton was nice. Have you been to the Sheraton Brookhollow? Lordy. Shame they're not changing the exterior. But the interior is what really matters. Looks like a cool bar. -

Where would they even propose this? Spring Creek? They should extend the Woodlands Parkway to meet up with 249.
