Wow it’s beautiful 

Hines Lake I love it

Might make it the tallest or second tallest building on this side of the Williams we will see how it comes out fingers crossed for this and McNair and further redevelopment of the Richmond corridor in Uptown.

Honestly, most of the Asian community, including my wife, just call this area Bellaire, even if it's technically not the city of Bellaire. I only hear white people, such as my family, call this Chinatown.

This is what I usually refer to this area as, as well. 

I really hope that they follow through with the two towers, I feel like it would really elevate the area, even though it is nice already, but adding some luxury residential would raise the demand for more fine restaurants and shops; taking our Chinatown up a level. 

This building looks Really great driving by on 59. 

Is that all or is there any other functions it would serve?

What is this building supposed to be for exactly?

We also have Northside and Eastside, buffalo bayou(nerlartown to some) but either way if you compare us to somewhere like Atlanta I think we should stick with Midtown for the entirety of the area and let Midtown be grand.

Innovation district?

Okay I think it should just be midtown, I like the thought of having downtown, midtown, university park and then Texas medical center and then NRG we don’t need more sub districts along this line we already have so many. 

Innovation district?

So this tower was scrapped?

That building looks to be 40+ stories 👀

For some reason I was thinking

30 max 

I can’t wait until the the highway project correlates with this project. Next level, plus a double whammy for the Museum Park neighborhood. 

Good infill. Personally I like the look of it, it fits in with surrounding area. We only need a handful of glass towers in the area in the future. 

Arabella was such a let down, this project has redeemed the residential high rise in uptown. Arabella is still cool but more of a what if.

I am about to lose my view of the Upper Kirby District, but since I am both a voyeur and an exhibitionist, having neighbors living behind glass walls is a win/win for me. 😉

Sand storm looks wild in this photo.

Should be taller than Hess tower correct? Hard to tell from the rendering. 

Wow is all I can say. 😎

I wonder what the height will be..

Wow, the taller building looks like somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 stories high, if not higher.  Anyone else know the exact height and number of floors ?  This will be a game changer in that area of town.  We'll take what we can get during this economic mess, but I'm still hoping for much higher towers in downtown than everything always being UNDER 50 stories.  Can I go even further to suggest a really supertall tower that Houston and Texas deserves and should have ?  Dare I wish for something higher than 75 floors one day, like say oh, I dunno maybe 115 floors with "shorter" towers around 85 to 95 floors one day in my fantasy future of downtown Houston.  Yes, it's good to dream, especially at this time, as long as we realize it's probably still a big fantasy for the near future.

 

Previous posts have the floor counts as 51, 33, and 18. Same rendering I hope it makes it. 

I think it would be really cool to have another high rise development on the Dillard’s lot. This would really frame the Williams tower nicely along with this development. 

Fingers crossed 🤞🏽 

Both stadiums are incredible and the size of them truly remarkable. Pretty hard to justify any negative remarks about either stadium unless you don’t know about college football. Sorry but Texas has great stadiums! AT&T, NRG, DKR, and Kyle Field. 

Okay nvm lol I went to high school with a couple of Cuevas from Wharton that’s all.

I ate at Finn Hall with my cousin from Wharton last nite. He loved downtown. I can only imagine our city center in about 5 to 10 years. 

What’s your cousin’s name? 

Victor?

I feel like this is a legacy development still and I think they will still build it.
