Avossos Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 How is this topped out...? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monarch Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 ^^^ are they serious.... where is the all important topping-out tree? i was under the impression that they were on the 45th or so floor? what is actually the truth here.....?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Yeah, they have an interesting interpretation of "topping out".. Have they built floor 48 yet? Maybe thats what they're referring to? Or John Pickard happened to be in town so they all went over to the tower and had an early "celebration". Heh. The tree doesn't normally come until the final structural beam is placed.

jmitch94 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 UH had a ground braking ceremony for a building that was already on the third floor. These have little significance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CREguy13 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I'm very excited for this project, but I think I'm more excited for the 'Hines' effect that will take place within a few blocks radius of here. There is a lot of surface lots nearby, that will likely be hitting the drawing boards soon if they haven't already. A lot of national law firms and high-credit tenants are trading papers on this building right now, in addition to United Airlines and Kirkland. These projects may be 5-7 years away, but the future is bright for downtown Houston. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 This is a nice view of downtown from the southeast, a side we don't normally see in stories about Houston. Great balance and depth. Many more buildings are visible on the east side, and the skyline is much more dynamic with all of the layering. I find the juxtaposition is much more interesting and you really feel the scope of downtown. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 That looks to be taken from TDECU Stadium. The view from the larger upper deck of the entire city is amazing. You can see all the way out to the Energy Corridor on a clear day and the city looks huge. Also, looking East, you can see so many of the ship channel plants. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
