Guest Jackwood Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) Thanks TowerSpotter, I did not ask "what" are jumbotrons. I know what they are. I asked where are the jumbotrons? I don't see them in the renderings. I see something that looks like a banner or a sign. I was hoping that the new owners were going to install jumbotrons but these renderings don't look very conclusive.

TowerSpotter Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) Youre right, they could be just big banners. Well to me it kind of looks like a Superscreen too. At least from the top right and bottom left renderings. Edited August 13, 2013 by TowerSpotter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Huge Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Hanging out at HP several times over the years I've always felt the best place for a giant screen would be on the House of Blues wall facing east towards Discovery Green and the Toyota Center.I think part of their demise was failing to capitalize on the huge crowds coming in and out of Discovery Green, the GRB and Toyota Center. If they had a giant led screen there it would be seen by not only DG, GRB, and TC but also the Hilton, Embassy Suites etc.They could use the screen to:- Play live teasers of whoever is performing at the moment- List their upcoming shows- List other greenstreet store LOGOS- List all other greenstreet programming, tweets, facebook, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchFan Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Umm, just out of curiosity, how different do these renderings look from what's already there? I mean, aside from the giant "GREENSTREET" sign facing Main Street. I'm hoping for the best, in any case. I can't help feeling that a stronger connection to new residential and hotel properties nearby would provide the biggest boost to this project, at least outside of the M-F 9-5 times. I guess that would be more likely if something new were developed next door. The last think I want to see is that GS became another white elephant a la the Holiday Inn / Days Inn / Heaven on Earth Inn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like their going to change the color scheme, add some tree's, I can't tell if their just adding banners or superscreens but that will be new, and also looks like they are going to add more decorations to the outside. Also I think some shade will be provided there. Edit: In my opinion it's going to look better than before.

But, if they do that, and also get more tenants that drew more people, it would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 They are enlarging the center court. Along Dallas, they will be adding sidewalk seating/cafe space. They will also be adding fountains and, as was mentioned more greenery. Also, they will be adding mid-block pedestrian crossings. I have great confidence in the the new owners. GreenStreet should have a good future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfastx Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 The main difference between the renderings and what's currently there, is that there are actually people walking around in the renderings, lol. Plus some minor changes to the façade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloud713 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 do i remember correctly that they said they were going to widen the courtyard areas? if so, i wonder how they plan to do that without major structural changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatesdisastr Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Didn't dig too deep but this is what I saw "the courtyard in the middle block will be expanded to allow for events." Only the middle one of the three it seems. Edited August 22, 2013 by fatesdisastr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
