    I hope more Mf's follow, downtowns surface lots are dwindling fast!

    It never gets old.

    Big footprint.

    Thanks for the floor count guys, I've still got my fingers crossed that this will be the building that finally stretches the skyline northward after that steep dropoff from Texas Commerce Tower. Not much more to go but still well over a hundred more feet on the way.

    "Upscale diner" "High end Italian" "Extravagant" Welp, so much for the gfr catering to the baseball crowd to fit in with MMP. I guess Marvy forgot he built these apartments right next door to a baseball stadium. Seems like he's designed this to be it's own little "super upscale, high end" island all to itself. And people wonder why One Park Places ground floor retail right across from Discovery Green has still never been leased out.

    The whole building was meant to look like Union station.

    Can we all throw a "Block 334 completion party" when this madness is finally over? Jeez

    I don't see it taking 50 years for those lots be developed, south downtown is quickly becoming THE residential district of downtown with the Beaconsfield, Houston House, Skyhouse 1 and 2, Fairfield residential, Leon Capital, Block 334, Allied orion and The Hamilton all in the same general area. Once all the newer ones comes online it's only going to spur more residential in that area, and the remaining surface lots anre gonna get scooped up. I'd say closer to 5-10 years before we see more residential plus retail projects filling up the remaining south downtown surface lots.

    So there will be a tunnel under pierce?
  15. Howard Huge
    Huh??Who said anything about building buildings on top of the pierce elevated? I'm talkin bout tearing it down to reveal the remainder of the surface lots that have been hidden under there forever and using them as real estate again.
  16. Howard Huge
    I dont get why everyone here says it should be turned into a park or greenspace. Why? Why not tear down the elevated and turn the real estate into what it was originally......REAL ESTATE. I thought the whole point was to break down the "barrier" that divides downtown and midtown. If you keep the elevated and make it a green space, the barrier still stands. Turn them back into city blocks and let more skyscrapers, condos, apartments etc be built on top of them just like the old days, we increase our block count, our building count, our density and most importantly the barrier comes down and Downtown/midtown become seamless....

    I remember their being an asbestos abatement issue as the main reason this building has sat vacant for eons.
  19. Howard Huge
    How many floors is this up to now?
  20. Howard Huge
    Monarch must be loaded.
  21. Howard Huge
    Nada.
  22. Howard Huge
    Well there you go.

    This is still dumb, neither should affect either.If countless airliners a day can fly right over Manhattan with its 1,776 ft tall freedom tower why can't our planes just do the same and fly OVER any tall buildings we build? Key word, OVER. As in, even if the proposed skyscraper is DIRECTLY IN THE FLIGHT PATH TO HOBBY, you still simply fly OVER it, I can think of no reason why any craft would have to dip as low as 1,000 ft (our tallest building) and below to land in Southeast Houston. It's nonsensical.

    You're right, who am I fooling. Christians will be a massive failure and will be shuttered within a few months.

    So then it's an accurate depiction of downtown drivers.
