dbigtex56 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 This is the building behind One Shell Plaza, at the southeast corner of Rusk and Louisiana with an address of 700 Rusk Street. There's been a Fed Ex office on the ground floor for the past 27+ years; otherwise at street level it's unremarkable. Graphics in the window suggest that it'll undergo a renovation, including a rebranding as 801 Louisiana Street and a sleek Modern curved entrance. (Lord knows it could use a makeover; the current buckled sheet metal exterior suggests a worn-out 1970's refrigerator.) The graphics are nice but frankly, I wouldn't mind seeing that entire block of Rusk between Milam and Louisiana wiped out. It has such potential.

Subdude Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Is this the building across from Pennzoil that once had Sharper Image on the ground floor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstonfella Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I would like that entire half block to be razed and a small park with trees and a fountain there. But I guess they feel some modernization will get them tenants. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
