lockmat Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Full downtown city block Combines offices, residential and a hotel Contains retail space and a parking garage Does the fact that it's "confidential" mean anything do y'all think? http://www.kirksey.com/project/confidential_urban_mixed_use_plan Edited January 12, 2011 by lockmat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisPHous Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 It appears to be a residential project from looking at the deck/roof area in-between the buildings. I think the word confidential in this case is just a filler for not real. The rendering is extremely bare and probably 4 years at least from seeing any real action. Now besides all that from what I can see it looks like it would be really cool and i support anything going downtown, let's keep our fingers crossed!!

bulldog Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I don't know for sure but I would not be surprised if this and the midtown one were hypothetical designs commissioned by one or more of the following agencies: Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County Houston Downtown Management District Midtown Management District Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highway6 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Look at Kirksey's project page. In almost every category, for almost every project, their renderings are photo-realistic (done with a full Viz program or plug-ins, including cars, people, sky, reflections, lighting, etc.)So any that look more abstract and like they are mostly Sketchup models ... i think that's a giveaway that it's a Kirksey project that never made it out of proposal or never gained traction.
