Montrose1100 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 That'll do pig... That'll do.The base looks like it will create a gateway of contemporary design with BLVD Place across San Felipe. Will be a great day when Post Oak is fully developed. Thankfully it does have an interesting feature on the top. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijonmang Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I like how the three sections vary slightly in height from each other. Gensler was inspired by the three tiered combo of The Wilshire, Skyhouse and Arabella across 610 Way to go with the design sleuthing as always. Didn't even take 24 hours to go from hearsay to HAIF. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nole23 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 wish this was in downtown but this looks freaking awesome It's as if Downtown and "Uptown" are competing to see who builds the most high-rises. Downtown's infrastructure is way better though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual - they will try to sue for "blocking their views"! Ha. Good luck with that. Let's hope this really happens. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KinkaidAlum Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I love it. Love that'll be all glass and that there will be retail in the base. That said, I avoid Uptown as much as possible because of the traffic and I cannot imagine how much worse it's going to get when people start living/working in this, the Astoria, the Post Oak, Amegy Tower, Belfiore, and Five Post Oak. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkylineView Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Didn't some people in Cosmo start a SuperPAC against a tower here? Maybe I'm crossing the wires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im pretty sure theyre the same people who were trying to stop the Uptown BRT line... lulz. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Between this building and the new Landry's tower, the old view of the reddish twin towers from my office may soon be eclipsed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Its going to block their view! I imagine a lot of these are empty nesters who sold their homes fora huge profit in Afton Oaks, (no rail on Richmond), moved into the Cosmo., and don't want the express lane down Post Oak. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richfish Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 What do they have against it? It is beautiful. The view from the south side units is really breathtaking and will be blocked. They'll be taking a pretty big financial hit when this building goes up. There are a dozen units for sale that have been on the market for a long time that aren't selling, and won't unless they steeply discount them or get a really dumb buyer. Depending on the placement of 1660, the southeast units may not have as much of a blocked view, but you're still going to have people looking directly in your window.
