mollusk Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I am confused. Are those renderings? They don't look quite real, but there are no Audis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChannelTwoNews Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 http://www.bisnow.com/commercial-real-estate/houston/2055-another-full-city-centre-tower/ Laredo Energy leased 12k SF in City Centre 4, bringing the year-old building to 100% occupancy. (Not a square foot to spare.) Colvill VP Marilyn Guion, who repped landlord Midway with her colleagues Michael Anderson and Connor Saxe, tells us the firm is relocating its HQ into the 120k SF, Class-A building. Cresa's André Granello and Gary Lawless repped the tenant. But Marilyn and team can't rest on its full-building laurels—Midway recently broke ground on CityCentre Five. (It's the Hollywood mentality: as long as you can put butts in seats, keep making sequels.) Midway EVP of development Shon Link updated us on CityCentre's office situation. The 450k SF of existing office has only 9k SF available. 200k SF CityCenter Five (825 Town & Country Way) is already 65% pre-leased and is opening Q2. He anticipates making an announcement this fall about what's next after CityCenter Five (psst, it's likely another office development). Shon also tells us leasing velocity has picked up on the retail component—there are serious talks for every vacancy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UtterlyUrban Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 CityPoint Tower: 909 Town & Country Blvd. 5-floors of parking and 4-floors of office space. More room for cats than people. Seem to me that the architecture of this building doesn't fit the rest of the development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swtsig Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 assuming this is cuurent i guess this piece of property was not acquired by midway.... their CityCentre North campus is much more modern and substantially larger. i believe Munoz is the architect.

This looks a lot like some of the renderings for Citycentre 5 but that's listed as a seperate project on the Munoz website.

Fortune Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 That is going to look so out of place. I wish they would have stuck closer to the design of the other buildings in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollusk Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Okey dokey. It's kinda between the older buildings and the hotel in scale, a little overwrought in detailing but that's fine with me 'cause I'll rarely see it, so... we could do worse.

Montrose1100 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) That is going to look so out of place. I wish they would have stuck closer to the design of the other buildings in the area.Oh please, this isn't la tour montparnasse .It is a shame, because most of the buildings are quite contemporary. This building looks like it belongs across the freeway next to that odd office building by spring branch honda.

Luminare Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Yes I'm being very critical because I looked at this and was honestly about to vomit! This is piss poor design at it's finest folks. I could go on and on with critiquing this, but ultimately I just hope that this doesn't get built and whoever designed this uses this first design as a learning experience! If the designer were to stumble upon my comments I want to expressly state that I critique out of love for architecture. Nothing personal is in this. While I have inserted a couple comments to be sarcastic/humorous it do want to say that nothing I have here is personal and only addresses the skill of this designer. This was really quick too in Adobe Acrobat. I really should do more of these though lol. Edited July 29, 2014 by Luminare 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkylineView Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 While the whole comment is amazing, I really like "The entrance to this building wants to be here!". Amazing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminare Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Try going to an architecture review at a university some time They are quiet entertaining. Some critiques are very philosophical, some very technical, some comical. I go for a blend of the three most of the time. One of the most common critiques is the "this WANTS to be this" kind of comment lol. It sounds silly, but when you analyze it the more you begin to sense how things 'should' be, 'want' to be, 'need' to be, etc... Of course it's all about the sensibilities of those critiquing, but some comments are just plain obvious xD Thanks for the compliment btw Edited July 29, 2014 by Luminare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNAguy Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Those aren't decorational pyramids at the top of the garage level; they're homeless spikes! Nah bro. It's just zombie apocalypse ready. 'Bell tower' perfect for sniping and/or putting a 50 cal. in. The spikes prevent the scaling of the building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxtethogrady Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Actually, the architect was going to hang a lantern or two in there. "One if by land, two if by sea." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollusk Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Actually, the architect was going to hang a lantern or two in there. "One if by land, two if by sea." An update of the Weather Eye that used to be downtown! That would be a public service - the Katy/West Belt intersection has always been bad about flooding. Which is what you get when you dig a giant trench across a creek bed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgriff Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Often I don't agree with architectural criticism that happens on HAIF. Sometimes people want things that the market just doesn't allow. In this case I completely agree. This building is awful. I hope it looks better in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(He's mum on the details for now.) The 10-story, 250k SF office project broke ground a year ago, and is on track for a January 2015 delivery. Phase 2, a 125k SF office building, is in design now with Kirksey and is planned to break ground in Q2 '15. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdude Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 CityPoint Tower: 909 Town & Country Blvd. 5-floors of parking and 4-floors of office space. My gut reaction to this was that the design would be popular with anyone that liked the Civil Courts building downtown. As Luminaire points out, it is bad on so many levels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 In a strange way, it sorta complements Metro National's Optimus Prime tower... Hey, it may be ugly on the outside (except for maybe the cool crown), but it is definitely nice working on the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
