arche_757 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) Ah, Anico. There was a time there were supposed to be 2 of those buildings. Anico actively cleared off lot after lot downtown for not only surface parking but also that building. Sadly they've nearly destroyed the eastern side of The Strand. Oh well. All is fair in the name of progress, right? Very nice photo of the Stewart Title Building. Fantastic.

plumber2 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Yes, ANICO has moved a lot of their headquarter's operations (non executive) to the League City (South Shore Harbour) complex in recent years, so the need for an additional tower is no longer needed. One Moody Plaza is still an impressive building though. I've always liked the way it was built "off grid" from the street.Watching construction as a teenager in the late 60's was fascinating. The building has a central core that the rest of the building floats off of. The base and core carries the load of exterior walls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
