Drewery Place: Multifamily High-Rise At 2850 Fannin St.
htownboy replied to Urbannizer's topic in Midtown
That's the wrong tower. The rendering you posted is for the tower Caydon (the Australian company) is building. We have already received renders of their 27-story tower.- 1,569 replies

@jmitch94 Yep, it'd be the tallest in the med center by a huge margin.- 511 replies

This perspective is kind of unappealing. There are too many holes and a lack of general density. It does show off a lot of our signature towers, which is alright. I've seen it used occasionally and it puzzles me.

I remember seeing cranes on this thing back in December of 2015. They've finally returned!

Regent Square: Mixed-Use On Allen Parkway At Dunlavy St.
htownboy replied to Travel_n_Transport's topic in Going Up!
WOW!! 41 FLOORS ---> 45 FLOORS! -
Man, I wish all those pre-wars weren't mowed down... What a bummer that empty lots sit there now. Older downtowns function like real cities, not seas of boring disconnected, cold office towers. Anyways, a great shot and a great look into the past! Perhaps this is straying from the topic of the discussion, but does anybody have an estimate of how many were destroyed?

Other than the gunk on the building, it's turning out pretty great. It's a period piece.

BLVD Place Mixed-Use: 1700 Post Oak Blvd.
htownboy replied to Subdude's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
https://www.emporis.com/buildings/308492/blvd-place-residential-tower-houston-tx-usa Emporis estimates some tower here at 492 ft. I honestly have no idea what tower this height belongs to, I haven't really been following this whole project. -
https://www.emporis.com/buildings/1212074/the-tower-at-hermann-place-houston-tx-usa Emporis estimates the tower at 558 ft. That's honestly a lot taller than my estimates, but I guess that's a good thing. We just don't know whether or not the exact same twisty-tower will be built, so that height might not be too accurate.

Regent Square: Mixed-Use On Allen Parkway At Dunlavy St.
htownboy replied to Travel_n_Transport's topic in Going Up!
https://www.emporis.com/buildings/342965/regent-square-phase-ii-tower-houston-tx-usa Emporis estimates the tower at 545 ft. That's a great height! Just waiting for the construction to start... -
https://www.emporis.com/buildings/1225442/perennial-office-tower-ii-houston-tx-usa Emporis estimates the office tower at 492 ft/150m. That kind of gets me sad, because the hotel tower was supposed to be taller, meaning that it would've been a 500 footer. Oh well, we should still be happy with a 150m office tower.

Rice was definitely looking for a firm that could replicate the style of its older buildings. Allan Greenberg was the way to go. He is one of the leading figures in New Classical architecture, and his firm's previous works truly are beautiful. http://www.allangreenberg.com/projects/dupont-hall/ Don't get me wrong, I don't want beef with anybody, but you could've at least looked this guy up before deriding him as a "McMansion architect'. How disgusting.
