    We got a chance to check out that view earlier in the year, really awesome spot for any photographers wanting to snag a skyline photo!

    The exposed parking garage right below the pool area screams quality...

    Just skimming over the past 3 photos, it seems like little to no progress has been made. Is it just me or has this slowed down considerably? Maybe they are doing internal work?

    New Concept Photos Released for the High Speed Rail Stations: https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Newest-Concepts-for-Texas-High-Speed-Rail-Stations-565235412.html

    I’m going to say yes. I know that Park Place near River Oaks District is visible and that’s less than 20 stories.

    A grocery store and LifeTime Fitness would be a great 1-2 punch.
  7. CaptainJilliams
    I'm trying to think if that could work given the space, but absolutely a grocery store on Main Street would be incredible for the area.

    I understand the issues brought up in the article, but this project is a major boost for the area. In my mind the positives far outweigh the negatives. It would just be a shame if the project was delayed or the overall vision was stunted because of this.

    From the Facebook page today:

    While the color scheme isn't my favorite, the overall design is nice and should be a good addition to the area. Better than a surface lot.
  11. CaptainJilliams
    That store was always empty. I remember walking around downtown when my family was here during the summer and taking a break to cool off inside the store. There was almost no one there other than the employees at the front counter. Isn't the LifeTime Fitness taking over this space as well, or a different section?
  12. CaptainJilliams
    So do we have any updated renderings for what will be going up here? As well as a timeline?
  13. CaptainJilliams
    Okay, I might still prefer the previous design of the building, but the new tower looks great and makes up for the double helix change in my mind!
  14. CaptainJilliams
    But I thought it was fairly certain that they had done away with the helix building design and were only going to make a ground level park in the shape of a double helix. If I'm wrong, then great, I would prefer the original design. But until someone can confirm that, I wish they would stop using old renderings.
  15. CaptainJilliams
    Man, they keep teasing us with the old renderings of the double-helix shaped building. I know they are more readily available, but every time I see them it gives me false hope.

    If Rice Box is the tenant, they are going to make a killing in that area. Rice Village would be the perfect place to open another location. I know their location on Shepherd has seen great traffic and success.
  17. CaptainJilliams
    This is awesome! Love the new renderings.
  18. CaptainJilliams
    Agreed. My dream would be to have a new aquarium/amusement park complex built near Minute Maid/Discovery Green. If the highway cap park ever happens in downtown, that would also be an excellent area to have it.
  19. CaptainJilliams
    I don’t know if this is the section to post this, but the past week or so I’ve noticed that they have completely leveled the original NW Transit Center near where 610 and 10 meet. I didn’t realize they were going to completely rebuild it. I for one am happy, the previous structure always looked dated with the white pyramid roof.

    Can we either move this discussion to another forum or just cut it altogether @Moderators?
  21. CaptainJilliams
    Beautiful buildings, but I think anything designed like that would be sorely out of place on the Rice campus. I feel as though the current design, while it has its issues, is consistent with the architecture seen around campus. Maybe if it were visualized you could change my mind, but then again I think taking the conservative approach won't upset the status quo. Belmont University in Nashville is taking a similar approach with their new Performing Arts Center (in terms of trying to match the existing style of the campus):

    But as the Instagram post confirms, they are raising the final beam on the 26th of this year. I don't know if I've ever heard of a topping out celebration occurring exactly 1 year after the fact, seems either wrong or bizarre 🤔
  23. CaptainJilliams
    That's great and all, but someone should've told them that this year is 2019.
  24. CaptainJilliams
    That view of Midtown in the 2nd picture is going to change dramatically over the next 4-5 years if all the Australian high-rises come to fruition.
  25. CaptainJilliams
    Saw the fence up this Sunday, happy to see this is going forward!
