cloud713 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I'm surprised that they blocked off those corners. I know that this is garage but I thought that could be a good place.What do you mean "could be a good place"?But yeah, strange they covered that corner of the garage. I wonder if that's the only corner they'll cover.. The northwest tower corner is some sort of atrium I believe, and the east side has the fitness center tucked in there.

kbates2 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Not really sure what I mean by a good place, I guess just having a spot to look down on the street from the sloping corner seemed cool to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFootsSocks Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 So that's cool, but also cool is the small optical illusion you captured with the pavement of the garage and the wall your camera is (presumably) situated on/leaned over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't notice that. The lack of a shadow in that direction did something weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nativehoustonion Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Wow! They are installing the reflective glass panels like BG Group Place. Hines wants LEED Platinum certification and he may will get it. What a impact this will make on the skyline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brijonmang Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I drove past the site last night on the way home from the Astros game and they had a lot of the glass on the street prepping it for installation. There was actually quite a bit of work going on throughout the tower and this was around 10:15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFootsSocks Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 So this may be a dumb question, but how many of those "blocks" can be thrown onto a crane before the weight of all the other pieces above it, the cab, and the cargo hauled up, collapse on top of the bottom piece?
