Market Square Tower: 40-Story High-Rise At 777 Preston St.
fernz replied to Urbannizer's topic in Downtown
But if that's what it takes to get a 40 story residential building in downtown then that's fine- 1,893 replies

It makes sense. Standard floor-to-floor for office construction is 13'-6". If you multiply that times 30 floors you get 405'. So it will pretty close to that.

Ok, they do shop, but not enough for the stores to be profitable. So my overall point is still correct, office workers don't support retail.
-
But they don't shop, it's been proven. Look at what happened to the shopping center at Houston Center, all their brand-name retailers left. And look at what happened to Foley's. And Houston pavillions couldn't get any retail other than restaurants and entertainment. Retail follows rooftops, it's an old adage, it's tried and true.

Amegy Bank At 1717 West Loop S.
fernz replied to nolaboy's topic in River Oaks/Upper Kirby/Greenway Plaza/Bissonnet
Exactly. It wouldn't make sense for them to build their own building, when there a tower looking for a tenant about to be built in in Westcreek.- 558 replies

They do contribute, that's why you have all the fast food restaurants in the tunnels. Beyond that, they don't support much more.

I don't, I was just noticing when I was driving by the other day. The are using light tan and almost black brick, and tehy are doing some sort of fins running vertically; looks nice.

The Hanover building is turning into one of those rare cases where the building looks better than the renderings. The building has some really nice brick work going on.

The Menil Collection At 1533 Sul Ross St.
fernz replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Going Up!
You're missing the artwork inside the building - that's what makes the cost of the structure worth it. Like all the previous buildings in the campus, this is supposed to have a special filtering of natural light- 420 replies

That would be nice. Not in Houston though.

The fountains were meant to be a splashy feature (pardon the pun) to be showcased during the Super Bowl. They served their purpose.
