    Highland Village is east of ROD. Highland Park Village is in the Dallas area (technically in Highland Village,TX).

    I think you are correct. The Medical School on Fannin stays. The 300+ acres UT is going to construct sounds like a large research campus with a myriad of functions., some biomedical. TMC 3 is something more connected to traditional biomed research.

    Quite an addition to the canyon effect on Texas. The Catalyst, the Alexan downtown, and 500 Crawford also add to this. Thanks for the photo.

    If NYC has some architectural design authority, committee, politburo, etc.they would have let Hampton Inn pass. After all 432 Park Ave., except for height, is no gem.

    I disagree. Have you seen some of the county government buildings on and near Main street? One of the insults hurled is it looks like a Federal (government) detention facility. The building is bland, no question. Do we really want government bureaucrats deciding color and architectural design? Let's not overreact.

    Yoda your photos are excellent. It is stunning how much this area has changed. I remember ante MMP. Except for the church and school it was a wasteland.

    Great photos Texascubed. Good job

    Looking at the photo again, imagine if the old downtown post office site there rose a few high rises. That would expand the skyline considerably from these angles.

    Needs some color. Reminds me of sponge cake.

    You are right. Maybe it will open the last day of Autumn 2016 ( Dec 20th?). It will be back breaking pace. I know this is apples and oranges, but wasn't the Empire State building done in 18 months? Hypothetically it can be done. Nevertheless it will be a surprise.

    Going to keep my eye on the parking lot north of the Metro station on Oxblue construction cam . When it clears it will mean the Fairfield residential is on the move.It will make the 7th residential building in close proximity to each other in the downtown.

    If all that comes to fruition that area will be amazing. Add block 98 and the area is going to acquire urban density rarely found in Houston.

    Isn't the GSW scheduled for major remodeling into apartments? I thought it is part of the DLI.

    What next? Waldorf Astoria, The Raphael, the Georges V? Cannot afford it, but love to see it.

    Regarding the Hardy Toll Road downtown connector, to quote Abe Lincoln I think they've got "the slows", but it is going to be built. Probably the same for the San Jacinto extension.

    Isn't the Hardy Downtown Extension passing close to this development?

    What do you make of that?

    The skycam was re-positioned a few days ago. Looks great.

    Good comment Monarch. Hadn't considered that, but it makes sense.

    Good luck on this. Tried using Emporis, on the first 19 pages got to over 300 existing or under construction. Thought that was the complete list,but more are listed later. Can't count now maybe later. We have a lot of highrises.
  23. Twinsanity02
    According to Emporis it is a building 35-100 meters or 12 to 39 stories.I suppose after this it is labeled a skyscraper. I know fire safety folks use a different definition based on how high their ladders reach.
  24. Twinsanity02
    Citywide or downtown?

    My my, no overweight people, no children, everyone in tip top shape and health, all monochromatic people. Where in Houston does this exist?
