West Timer

Seriously. I want this.  If built like the rendering, this tower would be the coolest building in Houston IMO. The Museum District would have it's own 21st century Williams Tower.

Everyday is Xmas in this building.

Yes. Yes. Yes. This is exactly the direction Houston needs to go. 

I agree. We only need about 5,000 more of these. But I'd settle for a few dozen or so as long as they are in Midtown, Montrose and Uptown. Seriously, wouldn't something like this be great on all 4 corners at the intersection of Westhiemer and Montrose?

Wow.

I'm starting to wonder if this thread is any way related to some kind of strange scary medical experiment that is going on at the TMC. Are there any reports of a loose internet obsessed guinea pig that might have broken out of a lab?

J/K🙃

I think I speak for 99.99% of Houstonians when I say, nobody cares what you think about of our inferiority complex or our medical center. Have a nice day.

Can you believe that someone would build something like this with consulting HAIF first? What are they thinking? Everyone knows there is no better place to get advice than from guys who hang out all day on internet discussion boards. 

Jenga! But it looks like it's about to topple.

Swear to God. I saw his gobbledy-gook of letters in a blur as I just quick scrolled around it and didn't even bother reading. Was there anything clever their I should have read? Let me know. There may be some real gems or deep insight or maybe even the answer to world peace or winning lottery numbers but I'll never know. Somehow reading it would be condoning it. And I can't bring myself to condone REALLY BAD, bad graphic design. Now what are we talking about again? I forgot which thread I opened. Oh yes. That magnificent Aussie Project. Still love it. Any news? 

^ Just wanted to let you know that your post are always so annoying to try to read so I never read them. Have no idea what you are saying because it's just not worth the headache. I don't think this ornamental stuff is the least bit entertaining. I'm sure you're a nice guy and all. But these cheap graphics and bizarre showboating is stupid. That's all. G'day!

Why do you guys always turn such great threads like this into such boring snoozefests? We all know that Houston could use some more Disneylands or Space Needles or Mount Rushmores or Statue of Libertys or whatever. Take this outside or to another thread so I don't have to waste my time reading any of it when I feel like looking of renderings of midtown's new skyline and reading about start dates and such. Thank you. Have a great day. Impeach Trump.

I just wanted to see these photos on this page. LOVE IT!

I think they should tear down all malls and replace them with Discovery Greens.

He's not kidding. Pull-outs suck.

You may be right about this project. But you're way out of line when you start trashing the whole city. Then it just starts to sound like you're carrying a lot of personal baggage and personal resentment. At that point, you just get thrown in with all the "Everything About Houston Sucks" crowd and nobody's listening anymore. I get it, you're 'passionate'. Good for you, but there are a lot of great looking projects in the works in Houston these days.

I'm not impressed by this either, but drama much? Calm down. No one died! 

^ I love what he said, but I can't bring myself to put a 'like' on that silly, lame clip art. So I'll do it from here.

At least I can write my own material.

from what i can tell updated renderings haven't been produced yet but the distinctive staggered/offset design is being done away with. knowing that, it's probably safe to assume that additional exterior design elements will also be value-engineered.

 

 

there's a pervasive attitude amongst many houston developers (particularly this one) that the exterior of a building matters little, at least relative to the interior. certainly there's some merit to that, especially in residential buildings, but that attitude seems to get amplified here compared to other major cities.

 

Never ASSume.

Give it to the Vy troll. She's the one that can't stop the pointless bitching about Houston. Unlike her, I can afford to live anywhere I want and I think Houston is fabulous and getting more fabulous by the day.

But I guess I'm probably being too insensitive. Really, I have nothing but pity for those poor pathetic losers who are handcuffed to places they would rather not be and aren't smart enough to be able to figure out how to do anything about it except whine about it on the internet and then proceed to blame our great city for their own personal issues and shortcomings.
