kbates2 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 If this place gets the little grocery store in the bottom that they were pursuing, it will be fantastic. I saw that they were putting up scaffolding among the southwest side of the garage the other day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Town Man Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 The light color facade actually goes well with the parking garage. These are amazing pictures, but this building is even more impressive in person. Thanks for sharing guys! They certainly did a good job of matching the parking garage. Not sure it was the best downtown building to emulate but, it's something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigereye Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Great pic from Astros' Mike Acosta tonight. View from MMP at sunset, in which you can see 500 Crawford, Market Square Tower, tower crane for Aris, 609 Main and Marriott Marquis. https://twitter.com/astrostalk/status/675100561084170241 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dined with them just the other week. I don't actually think they know the area and simply saw an opportunity... and more likely, the marketing wing with Clearchannel saw an opportunity. They knew it would be a one time gig and it truly is perfect publicity since a lot of news outlets are covering it, whether it be negative or positive is up to the viewer. I keep hearing people say they hate this company after this story but I highly doubt anyone who says that has even tried buying a car there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moore713 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Fair enough if ypu say ypu know the people personally and they may have misread the vibe..but it smacks of the 90,s when downtown houston had a bunch of off put one and done shops 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I actually kind of like it, as it gives a little bit of a modern feel to the big "Home of Easy Credit" ad on Clark's. It's only visible there, and a lively downtown needs a little bit of tackiness for people to complain about. Way better than just a giant blank wall of a parking garage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate99 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 If you go to the direct link to my pics above in super jumbo form, you can see that the floor that they are working now is different than the ones that they have put in below. I think they are close to topping this thing out. http://i.imgur.com/p29cNe1.jpg 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect this tower is as dominating as it's going to get now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're building the forms for the massive outriggers that will straddle the pool on the amenity deck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
