Naviguessor Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Good Idea. But, I actually don't think I have a red shirt. How about Green, White, Blue or Grey? Got too many of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cloud713 Posted October 22, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2016 Wow, that was a great tour. Over 50% leased, United is floors 12-19, and the green space on the podium will only be for their office. Hines used the green space amenity to incentivize a large block lease on the lower levels, since upper floors are usually more desirable. They have 97(?) days to finish up before the deadline. The crane is supposed to come down November 5th, and the exterior elevator lift (very cool experience) is supposed to come down on the 1st. i didn't realize there was going to be a water feature in the lobby. They mentioned the glass on the roof that opens up to the 46th-48th floors below would be capable of changing colors/darkening by use of electricity, to reduce direct sunlight on sunny days. It was great meeting everyone! Naviguessor and I decided we should have a HAIF gathering at the 43rd floor restaurant & lounge/open air observation deck at Wedge tower. And with that.. its picture time. Lobby Conference Center Fitness Center 12th floor/first green space level It was originally designed as a trading floor (larger floor plate than the rest of the office levels at 40,000 sq ft) with higher ceilings and additional infrastructure capacity. 13th floor/build out example Going up.. 46th floor Hopefully that wasn't too many pictures/slowed your browser down. They're just iPhone photos and I figured those who weren't able to attend would be interested to see some pictures from the tour. 28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollusk Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Eight, maybe? There's a little sliver of 700 Louisiana peeking out from behind Chase, and then 717 Texas (Calpine) at the far right, methinks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to imagine what Houston's skyline would look like without Gerald Hines, major props to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although they now have separate identities, it is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
