Unless I'm in Switzerland or Glacier National Park or something, urban density will always be my favorite view. Honestly, I find that mystifying. Something could have been built there that didn’t block the view. But anyway, my comment was in response to the hotel’s advertisement stating the view never gets old. My response to that is there is no view anymore. The terrific view from the pool area especially has been totally obliterated. Again, I’m responding to the hotel’s ad.

I guess I look out, not down. Previous view 👇 I would have stayed in that hotel for this view alone.👆Now there’s not much point. Views change. I guess you don't want anything on the lot behind the garage either? I get your point but I'd rather have density and people.

I get your point but I'd rather have density and people. As I said, I was responding to the hotel’s ad. If I were a guest enjoying the pool area, I’d much rather see that skyline view than look at a fairly nondescript apartment tower. Not everything is about what I personally want. I doubt I will ever stay at that hotel, so yeah, for me personally, on the street or in Discovery Green, I prefer the new tower there. But as views from the hotel go, it kills what they had. ETA: I suppose the view of the pool is what “never gets old” to them. Honestly, I cringed when I first saw they were going to have a Texas-shaped pool. I’d rather see the skyline than the pool. I feel much more connected to Houston than I do to Texas. Edited November 21, 2022 by MidCenturyMoldy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't agree more, I'm not saying the pool isn't cool for tourists because they jumble all of Texas together but I'm not a huge fan either tbh, I'm more connected to the city than Texas as a whole.

Popular Post hindesky Posted November 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2022 "Dallas-based real estate developer High Street Residential is hoping its hospitality-inspired approach, plus the tower’s location near the popular Discovery Green Park, will help it fill the 43-story, 309-unit apartment tower it recently opened downtown. Designed by Houston-based architecture firm Ziegler Cooper Architects with interiors by Dallas-based Waldrop + Nichols, the tower’s luxury finishes and amenities aim to attract renters by choice – people who rent not out of necessity, but out of the convenience and lifestyle found in urban high rises." https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/43-story-apartment-tower-opens-downtown-houston-17596342.php#photo-23201778 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
