Nice

Ehhh...

I was thinking "barf" but ok.

There is good and bad news here...

The bad... this building was canceled.

The good... hopefully it will be redesigned.

Excellent news!

Haha I'm joking man... no I totally get the crazy traffic argument, but this would be a nice addition to the Houston area.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) this is outside the acceptable driving distance (for a generic waterpark) for most residents of the Greater Houston area.

I hope this starts moving fast lest it is canceled.

This building is perfect for dat location. Thanks for the update!

Are they only doing theist shows?

I hope it's not some pipe dream.

How can we replace this incompetent ape?

Where is this thing going?

Looks like he's wearing a blue casio g-shock.

Am I the only one who thinks Randy has a hot daughter??

She's average looking but give me a few beers...

Planned

 

11. Untitled: 40-story, 314-unit building with 12-story garage podium being developed by Dallas-based Trammell Crow Co. Construction should start in the second quarter.

Where?

Houston needs a soaring downtown monument, and I believe this lot is the perfect place for it.  People spend hundreds or thousands to visit Paris, New York, D.C., heck even Seattle, just to stop by famous tall monuments.  The downtown hotels are in place.  Residential is on the way.  A light rail stop is across the street.  Retail is being set up a block away, along ADLA.  Throw up a 500-1,000 ft. monument that will drag the skyline eastward, give drivers along 59 and I-10 an amazing view, and increase property values in EaDo. 

You mean like the Texas Spire (I think that's what it was called) from the Main Street Master Plan? It was a tall tower ~1200 - ~1500 ft tower with an observation level at the top, maybe a restaurant, and I think offices near the bottom. Was supposed to be located close to UHD.

I'm sure someone here has a rendering.

I wouldn't mind a redesign ... there is always a better design ...

So... this is dead then?

for those freaking out about Capital Tower being missing from the last development map.. the most recent updated map came out the other day and has Capital Tower, Chevron Tower, and 6 Houston Center back on the map under planned.

Perhaps they should be left off since we have no start dates?

Sorta makes sense it seems... for "Peloton" in spanish means heavy testicles aka lazy. Perhaps they dragged their feet on this a little too much.

Ugh.

2036? Typo, right?

The office tower looks very nice...

Not all are residential.

Greenspoint. I'd play the long game. How long can an area really stay down?

I've formulated some interesting (to me at least) equations that could tell us a quite accurate answer.

Perhaps this attitude has something to do with the culture?
