kjb434 Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 Ok,thanks.I see the Orion one a lot. I guess two cranes are better than one. Quote
MidtownCoog Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 It's a big one. I think I count at least 25 stories tall. The only other few I see are tiny. Quote
kjb434 Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 I don't know if this is too much to ask; but once this building starts appearing above you horizon, it would cool to get some photos. Quote
Gary Posted May 4, 2005 Author Posted May 4, 2005 i drive by riverway almost every day and its currently under construction. crane along with piers are up. if you drive down post oak just south of woodway, you can see the construction site.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>The one I was talking about is in the Riverway complex. Is the Orion crane visible from the West Loop? I looked for it yesterday while heading to Willowbend but couldn't see it. Quote
kjb434 Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 If you are on Shepherd over Buffalo Bayou, look to the west and you'll see it. Also, if you are on TC Jester, or Durham traveling south just north of I-10 over the railroad tracks you'll see them. The builds will be set deep in some trees, so seeing the crane is not easy from the ground. The west loop doesn't get high enough to see over the trees.Midtowncoog probably can see the Orion crane from his office in Uptown too. He may have to move to another side of the building though.

Can you see the cranes off the entrance on Memorial? Quote
Gary Posted May 4, 2005 Author Posted May 4, 2005 I'll try.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Sorry Midtown Coog, I should have worded my post better. I was actually wondering if the crane was visible from street level at the Orion entrance on Memorial. Quote
kjb434 Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 The crane isn't that visible. The trees are just too high. Quote
KinkaidAlum Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 There is no crane on site at the Orion project yet.The crane you are referring to is the one for the new Bayou On The Bend apartments. It will be 6 stories right next to the Left Bank Apartments directly on Memorial Drive overlooking the bayou. Quote
kjb434 Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Oh,I though Bayou Bend Reached the part where they didn't need the crane anymore. I've seen the use of the crane for the support and parking structure because site is not that accessible to trucks. Quote
mariat Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 Hi guys.Just wondering if any of you have renderings of the Riverway high-risethat Hanover is building next to the Omni Hotel. Thanks. Quote
kjb434 Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 We have another thread discussing this. As far as I know, no one has produced and renderings of this building. Quote
energyman2005 Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 I'm in one Riverway and can see the construction. I think I'm high enough up that it won't block my view of Memorial once it's finished. If it's only 20 floors, I should be good to go. I believe though that the first 4 or 5 floors will be parking. Quote
RedScare Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 Bayou on the Bend will be 4 stories or 6 stories, depending on which article you read. Unclear if that is including, or, in addition to parking levels. Quote
houston-development Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 Bayou on the Bend will be 4 stories or 6 stories, depending on which article you read. Unclear if that is including, or, in addition to parking levels.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>one would assume, based upon the current site work, that the parking garage is a stand-alone structure and the apartments will be 4 storyes. Quote
Gary Posted June 11, 2005 Author Posted June 11, 2005 Has anyone heard any info on this building yet? Quote
kjb434 Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 They are definitely working on when you drive by.It will probably similar to 1200 Post Oak. Quote
citykid09 Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 I know this isn't the time to talk about stuff like this, but hopefully after all of this Rita stuff is over, all planed projects like this and the Pavilion still get built. Quote
kjb434 Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 Why would they stop being built?Huricanes don't scare developers, they are fact of life. Andrew surely didn't stop development in Miami of highrise after 1992. Quote
YakuzaIce Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 10/23 Seven Riverway I think this must be a mock up of how the facade will look 1 Quote
KatieDidIt Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Ohhh, all this talk about this area makes me soooo homesick!!!! Quote
RedScare Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Ohhh, all this talk about this area makes me soooo homesick!!!! Come home! We'll leave the light on for ya. Quote
KatieDidIt Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 (edited) Come home! We'll leave the light on for ya. Well, we started at ten years til we come back...now its 9. Tick Tock. Off course, if we win the lotto and can buy a brand spanking new home in Piney Point or Hedwig, we'll be home the next day! Edited November 7, 2005 by KatieDidIt Quote
Urbangeek Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 Picture up on developer's site, look at 7 riverwayHanover Quote
Montrose1100 Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 I love those set of Buildings. I really love seeing them when I come out of Memorial Park (from my house) to Go to the Galleria (or just the area). Its so pretty. Quote
