BayouBoomtown Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 It just pushes the perimeter. ^ Precisely. Can't wait to see the impact it has once it's finished. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonIsHome Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Yes, this building really does stand out coming in from the north. It stands out prominent from 45 and 10. At first I thought it was 609 main then I realized it was too skinny to be 609 main. My perception was off, didn't really expect this to be so prominently central. Hines market Square should give the north face an even deeper look 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drive an SUV and don't seem to have a problem. The inner spaces seem smaller. The spaces at the Alley Garage are way to small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spaces at the Alley Garage are way to small. I'll take your word for it. I got lucky and ended up with a spot on the end and drive a crossover, so my life could be worse, but the rest of my office is on the inner loop and all drive full size sedans, trucks, and SUVs. Most of them can't help that even parked straight, their tires are on both lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amashgo Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 *grumbles* that's what happens when you have an astronomical amount of money for your construction budget. The old pick 2 theory : cost, time, quality. Unless of course you're willing to bump cost, then you can have it all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFootsSocks Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Does it help that these are condos as well? I mean, ignoring whatever witchcraft Novare uses, this has gone up a lot quicker than other apartment projects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amashgo Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Eh, in terms of structure,the type of building,not as much. However, it is all flat slab so that save time and the type of formwork they're able to use as a result of the very simple geomety of this particular building allows them to just go.

H-Town Man Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 The parking garage... so ugly. If they could just remove all those screens so that you're looking right at the cars, then paint the remaining portions black, it might be somewhat better.
