    I play at Toros HTX a couple times a week and I've noticed recently that this is starting to look pretty large and imposing from the soccer fields. It does a nice job, in conjunction with Buff Brew, framing the skyline. I've included a bonus picture of the artwork at Toros which features some of the best number 10's to ever play The Beautiful Game. If you've never been to Toros you should stop by, grab some coffee, and watch some soccer.

    It looks like this is what ZCA is proposing for Bayou Place. No clue what the status is on the project through, but it's being shared on the new website.  It could have never left the concept stage or is still in play and is now okay to share publicly.  https://zieglercooper.com/projects/bayou-place/ 

    Great find!

    I like this idea, though the towers could probably be refined.

    Is this the same development? I was looking at this thread and clicked @Urbannizer's link.

    I noticed under "Multi-Family Residential Developments" there's a project called "East End on the Bayou"

    Looks like it reads Nagle Street on this last image.

    When you go to http://www.paduarealty.com/#our-work these are the images that come up.

    Ion District In Midtown

    Can someone fill in us non-subscribers? How much space are they leasing? What type/purpose of office?

    Microsoft signs on as ‘major tenant’ at the Ion

    In another win for Houston’s technology sector, Microsoft has leased space in The Ion, the former Sears building in Midtown that Rice University is redeveloping into a collaborative hub for innovation.

    “Having Microsoft as a major tenant is a huge step forward in realizing the vision for The Ion as a dynamic hub bringing together key elements of innovation in Houston,” Rice President David Leebron said in a press release.

    Microsoft will occupy space on the building’s fifth floor, said Rice Management Co. announced Thursday afternoon.

    In addition to becoming a tenant, Microsoft will play a role in professional and workforce development through community and start-up initiatives to be housed at the Ion. Microsoft will host executive forums and virtual symposiums, said Rice Management, which manages Rice University’s $6.5 billion endowment fund.

     

    City leaders have long touted the importance of growing Houston’s technology sector.

    “Over the last several years, Microsoft has made it clear it is committed to Houston,” Mayor Sylvester Turner said in a press release. “With the work Microsoft is already doing with the City and The Ion to support entrepreneurs, workforce development and energy transition, it is only fitting its new home should be in our City's hub for innovation. This news is an exciting next step in our partnership with Microsoft as we continue to grow Houston's innovation ecosystem and become a leader in the global energy transition.”

     

    Over the summer, Rice announced its first tenant for the building: Chevron Technology Ventures, an arm of the oil and gas giant that scouts and funds energy-related tech startups. The company will occupy space on the third floor.

    The Ion is designed to anchor a 16-acre “innovation district” in the Midtown area that focuses on bringing together entrepreneurs, incubators, accelerators, corporations and academics, and the community at large when it opens next year.

    The 288,000 square-foot building at 4201 Main will include shared workspace, prototyping and maker resources, event space, classrooms and communal areas with shared amenities.

    Off topic: I was skimming through HBO Max's new "reality" series about the wealthy Vietnamese family who live in River Oaks to see how the shots of Houston look. Just barely into the second episode I turned it off in disgust. Can anyone guess why?

    I watched the first episode last night and there were some great shots of Houston. I know to be prepared now. Thanks!

    How are y’all adding so many pictures to a post? The mobile site only lets me add 3 pictures from my phone before there’s no room left. The max file size for me says 7.31mb, which isn’t even 1/4th the file size for one jpeg picture from my actual camera..?

    Upload your pictures to Imgur then right click the image and click "Copy Image Address" then paste that into your reply and it should automatically change the image address into the image itself.

    Waterline: Mixed-Use Building to be Tallest Tower In Texas

    "Just a heads up for this thread also, the FAA received a request last week for 1025 FT for the 98 Red River site. If you were looking for it searching Austin, you probably wouldn't have found it. Someone submitted the wrong city, but, all else is correct including map, lat, long.

    https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external...257981&row=359"

     

    1025 FT means this will indeed be the tallest in Texas.

    More details revealed about Hunt Realty's massive Uptown mixed-use project https://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/news/2020/11/09/uptown-mixed-use-site-could-feature-1.html

    Behind a paywall for me but this was quoted on the skyscraperpage.com Forum.

    “ The centerpiece of the 11-acre project, as seen in renderings, will be an 83-story mixed-use tower. Plans for the tower include a 500-room hotel, which will sit below a 595-unit residential high-rise. At a proposed 890 feet tall, the tower would be the second tallest building in Dallas, coming in just shy of the 921-foot Bank of America Plaza.”

    Downtown Skyscraper Lighting

    Im not a fan so far of this project, hoping the crown changes my mind. If it lights up extra points, we need more lights in our downtown. (but nothing like Dallas yuck)

    According to the website there will be an Illuminated Crown.

    I for one envy our bright LED neighbors to the north. Houston needs a little flash. How cool would Heritage Plaza's Mayan Pyramid look if they re-did the lights ala the Dallas Omni.

    Me too. I leave the Houston Skyline Webcam on one of my screens for something to look at while I'm at my desk. It looks really good during the day but at night it starts lacking and the Dallas cameras starts to look more impressive.

    While I agree that judicious lighting would enhance our skyline, IMO the only thing that would improve Heritage Plaza's appearance is a demolition permit.
    It's been 35 years and I still have to suppress a groan whenever I see it.

    I've always thought Heritage Plaza was unique looking and instantly recognizable. You can see it prominently in The Matrix Reloaded megacity skyline along with some other Houston buildings. You know for sure the Houston skyline is included because of Heritage Plaza.i226152.jpg

    To add some context.  This project is sort of like a master plan and is a long way from happening.  First, they need rezoning approval from the city.  Then they have to empty out a large multi family complex on which they are still, currently, signing 12-month leases.  Then, of course, that complex must be demolished and new infrastructure installed.  Then, IF there is sufficient demand, they will start building some buildings that may or may not look something like these renderings.

    Or as it says in the article 

     

    Fitzgibbons said the existing Northend apartments aren’t going anywhere for a while. Hunt Realty has had full ownership of the property for 20 years and was a partner in the construction of the rental units.

     

    “We are still signing 12-month leases,” he said. "It’s going to take every bit of nine months for the rezoning process.

    “Then to design and finance the first phase, we are into 2023 before we truly start anything.”
