HoustonIsHome Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I don't think the garage takes away from tower. I think it looks like a continuation of the building. Looks like a gun standing on its butt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfastx Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Really a nice building. Only thing I can take away from it is how far back it is from the street, making it suburban in nature. But guess I can't expect too much with it being on a feeder road. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post H-TownChris2 Posted July 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2016 I saw this picture on the webcam and I just had to post it, very nice picture with the rain shaft over downtown and then the sunlight toward the med center. The reflection of this building is super nice as well. Amegy Bank HQ by Chris Rojas, on Flickr 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangledwoods Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 This is a really beautiful building, it is striking to me how reflective they went on the glass. All the other new towers in the area have see-through facades (3009 Post Oak, BBVA, BHP, etc). I am curious if we are getting back to the mirror facade trend and if it is being driven by energy performance requirements? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Its interesting that both of Pickard Chilton's new buildings under construction in Houston right now have a similar angled roof. One is just a bit more curved and the other a little more angular. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nativehoustonion Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 For 20 floors it is a dramatic building! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's slightly less interesting, I suppose, that 2 out of 3 of Pickard Chilton's new buildings under construction in Houston right now have a similar angled roof. ;-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarface Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Uptown/Galleria-Riveroaks is becoming one colossal area, especially driving north. My out of town friend and I were traveling north on 610, passing through the Galleria area. The signs pointing to "Downtown" threw him off. He was surprised we weren't already in downtown. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarface Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Again, I love this building, but Is it supposed to be smaller than the older existing Amegy Building located on 4400 Post Oak Pkwy (5 Post Oak Park) ?? I read that this building is only 24 stories compared to 5 Post Oak Park's 28 stories, and only 350,000 sq feet compared to 5 Post Oak Park's 570,000. Sources: http://shorenstein.com/portfolio/investments/property?id=1298 https://www.amegybank.com/about-us/newsroom/amegy-hq Was just surprised because I thought this new building was supposed to be bigger? It definitely makes a bigger impact when driving through the Galleria area. Maybe because of its position sitting right against the freeway.

The new space will almost double the Arnold Foundation's footprint compared to its existing 13,500-square-foot space at 2800 Post Oak Blvd. in Williams Tower, John Arnold told the Houston Business Journal.

AREJAY Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) Has anybody else seen the cascading light effects in the two "notches" of the building? Its a nice touch! Looks like they started running sometime this week. Edited November 18, 2016 by AREJAY 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Stonian Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Yes I saw them testing the lighting a couple weeks ago. It seemed to be in full effect last night. From the rendering we always knew the notches would be lit but I didn't know there would be a cascading light show every night. Definitely adds some 'Wow' driving through uptown. I've only seen the white lights, would be great if the lighting changes colors on special occasions. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
