TexasGeneral Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 By the way - Phase II of this project has been postponed indefinitely. Kiran's was scheduled to move out of their space to allow for the demo of the low slung office buildings abutting Westheimer, but just had their lease extended for 2 years, so they are staying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 What I find interesting in Skylines photo, is the serious change of scale in the massing occurring in this image.The bands around Greenway Plaza are filling in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoninATX Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 That sucks, but at least the 17 story building will still go up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arndthwrld82 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I'm surprised to see so many power lines in the renderings. Don't they usually take them out? I like the look of the building though. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naviguessor Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Those are "Greenway Corridors". And Cherry Blossoms. Daises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Are those what the utility ROW trails will look like? Those are almost as good as what I envisioned for downtown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose1100 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 You can plant a million flowers, but you will still have the charm and buzz of high voltage lines overhead. Love this city. The shorter building looks great. The Taller one... in the middle rendering, looks like Randal Davis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Dang! How Many AT&T Buildings with the plain walls can one city have? Maybe Dallas can give us some left over Gold Glass from the boxes they have left from the 1980s. I remember watching Back to the Future and thinking someday I will be as old as Marty and Biff's parents and the 1980s will seem as old fashioned to kids today as the 1950s seemed to me...that day has arrived.I'm actually kind of bummed about the renovation and repainting of a couple North Loop office buildings losing their 80's pizazz. The twins that Comerica occupy, and our little gold box. We only have this AT&T building and the one Downtown. I don't mind them, a reminder of a time long past. I wonder if a complete overhaul could turn them into giant data centers if they aren't already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADCS Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Dang! How Many AT&T Buildings with the plain walls can one city have? As many as were needed to handle long-distance connections and maintain enough redundancy in case of Soviet attack in the 1960s. Those were designed to survive nuclear war, after all.

nate4l1f3 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 So what happened to the phase that stretched out to Westehimer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparrow Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Whatever happened to the Westheimer/railroad crossing grade separation study? Couldn't they just construct some sort of berm-tunnel over the tracks and have Westheimer go over the berm? I'm thinking cut-and-cover tunnel construction, just without the cutting. A berm crossing would be much less objectionable than a bridge one would think. On the east side of the tracks you might have to close the Westheimer/Suffolk intersection, but surely the Mid Lane intersection could remain open--the incline required wouldn't be so incredible. Do the same for San Felipe and Richmond. I think long term it would be awesome to cover the entire length of track in this area with a berm-tunnel to create a bike path and jogging trail above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoninATX Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Love it. But wish they could have added brick to the parking garage adjacent to the new 2 building that's U/C. It would help blend it in. Edited April 8, 2015 by JoninATX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
