Popular Post UtterlyUrban Posted September 7, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2016 This is a nice building. Too bad it has all that glass and that dramatic top. I was hoping for something beige and more akin to the new hotel at Greenstreet or maybe the Hampton Inn. THOSE buildings are delicious, rich, textural, designs that shock the senses and really make one think: "is beige the new Soylent Green?" 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Town Man Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Are they down to about one pane of glass per day? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 That is an amazing Image of two of the most iconic buildings of the early twentieth century Esperson and Gulf Building's juxtaposed with two of the great early twenty first century buildings BG Place and 609 Main. Throw in a rainbow to boot, and you've got a chamber of commerce Houston First cover material. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozengineering Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 This is a fantastic addition to downtown Houston! Thank you to everyone that took and posted all of the pictures of this beautiful building. I think it turned out really nice! I am looking forward to seeing how it will look at night with the lighting - by the way, what is the color of the led lighting going to be? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
