The balconies on the top several floors are larger and that's what you're seeing when it looks wider

Ahh ok, yeah it seemed out to me but that explains it.

When people here in Michigan brag about how historic Detroit and all it's buildings are (which is the only thing worth bragging about), I will put this photo above and say hey we got historic buildings too!! They're just secluded in the greatness of our ever expanding city =P

is it me or are the top ~5 floors wider than the ones below? Is this the design of the building

I counted 23, working on the 24th. Great pic btw!

^^^ @enriquewx91 once the floor count is completed, they shall have to involve a lot of added steel in order to support the outward wings....

AHHH!!! Understood! Wow so this will be taller than I thought it would be.

How much taller will this go? I thought it was only 49 floors, aren't they on 48 right now.

So. Many. Cranes!

I predict a giant brick wall

More than likely

Underground parking?

Loving the density!

Looks like BG Group Place will need a new name

Such a beauty, working on the 45th floor from what I counted. I cannot wait til we get the finished product, this will be the new beacon of the city.

This is a great photo don't get me wrong, but am I the only one who hates this view of downtown? It looks so un-urban and boring. If they sold the land and added some buildings/density it could actually be a great area especially with Houston City Hall. Just my opinion, but I want to know if anyone else agrees.

Hate it as well, while the towers look amazing it's just too scattered. My co workers here in Michigan, googled Houston skyline and the first pictures they come across are these and they always say wow that height is impressive but no density. I need to pull out views from 45N, 10E and 288 (which is my favorite) in order to show the real density of our skyline which is more impressive.

Then they begin talking about Detroit's but that's a whole other conversation.

Nice shot!

working on floor 22 from my count

Pretty good to hear that companies are leasing space, I was under the impression that the current local economy was having a negative impact with all the O&G layofs

If you go to the webcam and go to 1700hrs on the 25, you will see it was actually two men with huge balls
