Wow, this thing doubles in height every 6 months!! Can't wait to see the renders in 2020!

Completion in early 2021... They better get a move on!

Am I the only one that sees "16-stories" still listed in the presser? I'm confused.

There are some clues in this video.

 

India

A "major city in China" (Shanghai?)

Another two to Southeast Asia

Secondary cities in Europe (Barcelona, Madrid, Vienna)

That video mentions nothing of the airlines you mentioned. Insider info?

This thing is rising fast. Now that they’re about to kick off the office floors, my dream of seeing Texas Tower, Hines Apartment highrise across the street and the Allen all between 20 and 30 stories with all the tower cranes on the skyline may be a pipe dream. 

They’re seriously getting busy with this site. Lots of piling holes being drilled. Won’t be long before something starts rising on this lot.

This building is now visible,  poking up above the surrounding buildings as you drive past downtown on the North Frwy. 

They mention that they want to attract new airlines and destinations. Anybody have any idea which destinations or airlines are at the top of the list?

How prone is Caydon to value engineering? The Allen looked promising but it too became scaled down to a degree after the initial renderings. While I love the design of the building and the curves, I'm not sure how I feel about the brown. Anybody?

Is it just me or do those rebar/columns taller meaning they're now beginning the office portion of the building? If so, that also means that this building should start rising faster now, correct?

Well, time to change my britches...

My heart can’t handle another BOTSWT catastrophe. I’m still heart broken over that building even tho it was proposed and scrapped before I was even born lol

Any idea as to how tall it could be?

I'm definitely noticing a trend in the right direction as far as Houston highrises are concerned. For so long it was 30-story this, 30-story that. 30, 30, 30. Now, 40-stories seems to be the new 30. Think about it, we have the new tower in the Galleria going up--40 stories, the tower in the upper-Kirby area--39 stories, block 46 downtown -- 46 stories, the med center condo/apartment tower just built is nearly 40 stories, the proposed highrise for the med center is like 50-stories, McNair place is the 50-story range. So my point here is things are slowly but surly growing taller. 

I still wish beyond anything we had the Bank of the Southwest Tower tho. That tower feels like a cyber boyfriend I never met but fell in love with and then he left me with no explanation and left me here with a broken heart lol

I think they have approximately one worker on this project. This Tower is rising at a snails pace. What’s going on? 

This is getting interesting fast. I wonder how big these buildings are going to be?!

This is much taller than I was expecting. Anybody?

What are the next phases of this project? Are they the signature towers that reach 600 feet? If so, I would image there has got to be a rendering released soon, right?

They've taken their sweet ass time on this building. 

Is this tower topped out now?

The lights in the crown of this building are beautiful. Totally agree! It makes the building...

it has begun!

How do you know? 

Btw, are there any updated renderings for this project?

So are they officially on the second floor now?

Looks like this skyscraper is officially out of the ground!

That lot seems mighty small for a development that robust! I’m developing an affinity for the office building, too. Hell, it’s almost equal height to the condo tower now that they’ve chopped off 12 floors.
