This is going to be a gorgeous building. Hines really knows how to design and build quality properties, as opposed to the developer of the Travis (3300 Main).

The green space where Richmont Square used to be!

I looked for a plaque but there isn't one, I too looked on the UH Public Art website and it's not on it. But here it is on Google Maps.

 

I guess no one else is interested in playing this game. 🤔

Ah, ok, just east of the College of Architecture building (I can’t figure out how to embed the map).

I could not find this listed as part of UH’s public art collection. Is it a student or faculty project?

Well, I have to admit I am stumped. I would guess that it is on the UH campus given the background and your bike route, but can’t find any evidence of this piece being a part of their collection.

Rode a long way and burned a lot of calories. Took a long time but I stop to take a lot of pics.

Wow, almost 50 miles! A new record - at least for the rides you’ve posted here.

I sure hope there ends up being some type of screening covering those parking levels, but based on a rendering I saw a while back in this thread, I am not going to hold my breath waiting.

Good morning.  Here's a rendering.

 

Oh, thanks! I saw that quickly scrolling through the thread, but at first glance, it didn’t appear to be four stories.

Looks like they are going to use the existing steel frame and add another floor? I think Highrise Tower mentioned earlier in the thread that this will ultimately be four floors, but I didn’t see any renderings.

It will be interesting to see how the parking podium/ground level retail interacts visually with RO shopping center.

Thanks for all the pics, especially the last one highlighting the notch / tower corner continuation. I think that is a very cool design feature!

That is the correct building, mural is actually on 137 Nolan St. but Google Maps still shows a gray wall. Nevertheless you are the winner.

 

Yes, that made this quiz particularly difficult! I overlooked this building at first because Google Maps doesn’t reflect the current view. There was actually a clue in this photo that helped to solve it:

I’d rather guess where the Houston/East End murals are. 😁 I’ll find this, though!

I can't seem to be able to find or buy any face masks, I've tried to buy some on Amazon 3 times and each time Amazon sends a email a couple days later canceling my orders.

Found this cool home made version to make.

During the Spanish Flu in 1918 people also wore masks.

Have you seen this yet?

It’s a good looking tower. That hulking parking podium, however, is disappointing in relation to the original shopping center.

It was not previously apparent to me why there were notches (?) in the sides of the parking podium, but this photo shows that they correspond to the corners of the office tower. Very cool (at least to me)!

Lol, thanks so much!  I would like to thank all the little people who made this possible...

Great find, it's right next to the new Women's Hospital going up on Almeda. Here is the last one I took today. Let's see if your GPS is still intact.😜

That’s an easy one - Mickey Leland Federal Building. 😏

OK, I just posted my route. See if you can find it but I have a few more for you just in case.😎🤔

I knew I had seen this before, but I couldn’t place it at first - 7400 Fannin.

I sometimes think you have a GPS tracker on my bicycle because you find my spots so easy 🤣😜

Maybe, maybe not. 😎 Seriously, though, I like solving puzzles and I am pretty observant  - I guess it’s my engineering background. And I have done quite a bit of exploring around Houston myself, although not on a bicycle.

Just now, hindesky said:

And that is why I haven't posted it yet.

Haha, I figured that out. 😉

Congratulations. I knew you would find this easily so I took a few more 😎🤣

Thanks, it’s a bit more difficult without a map of your bike route. 😉
