Yes, but it would have fit in SO MUCH BETTER with the previous white, art-deco design before they painted the rest of the shopping center that monstrosity of a beige color. Geez, everywhere else, people are going the opposite direction and painting beige buildings white (see Uptown Park)! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Highrise Tower Posted August 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2020 I was invited on a tour today. In terms of views, this is my favorite Hanover yet. The 8th floor amenity center was incredible! 360 degree views of our three skylines. Downtown, Medical Center, and Uptown. 2 theater rooms. 8th floor TV and skyline view of Uptown. Bed room looking out at Hanover Square. Sky pool with the Uptown skyline. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
por favor gracias Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Wow...that Upper Kirby/Greenway and Uptown/Galleria skyline shot from inside the unit is amazing. And to think our largest and 3rd largest skylines aren't even in that pic... The views from around the 6th to 12th floors have always been around my favorite height for views in Houston. Just above the tree line, and still high enough for views like that. Thanks for all the great updates, as usual. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t recall seeing any nighttime renderings but the daytime renderings seemed to indicate the lighting. It’s really bright at night with all 4 floors lit up. They were testing the lights when I snapped those photos but all 4 floors have been lit every night for the past couple weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Hanover has 10 + story buildings in Rice Village, West Gray, two in BLVD Place, and is building along Allen Parkway. One of their towers would look great by Market Square or Discovery Green. I'd be ok with a 55 story giant from these guys. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mls1202 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 For a brief moment, I envisioned those lighting panels as a giant LED screen, broadcasting Coca Cola advertisements or other such crap to create our own "Times Square"... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Fortune Posted September 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2020 Since Pier 1 Imports is going out of business and Weingarten owns that property at the corner of Woodhead St. & W. Gray St. that would be a great location for the next high-rise. They can call it The Woodhead! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Prominent national home and design retailer sets up shop in River Oaks https://houston.culturemap.com/news/home-design/09-17-20-ballard-designs-houston-river-oaks-new-location/ Quote A widely recognized national online and catalog home decor purveyor is opening doors to its first Houston location. Ballard Designs is set to open a new retail store in the Rivers Oaks Shopping Center early next year, the company announced. It will occupy the former GAP Store’s 10,000-square foot location. The new Houston Ballard stores will be the chain’s 16th retail location since launching its national retail expansion in 2007. Weingarten Realty, owner and operator of River Oaks Shopping Center, has invested heavily in the property over the past two years, including construction of a 30-story residential tower. Ballard will join a number of well-known shopping and furniture stores in the affluent River Oaks shopping district. Ballard Designs’ new River Oaks location will be introduced to Houston shoppers on targeted soft opening days beginning in early 2021 with distancing protocols in place, according to a press release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texasota Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I just don't get it. They own the whole development - there are plenty of other places to put that tower that don't destroy a beloved local institution. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinsanity02 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 The beauty and the ugliness of Houston has to do with the power of money and vision for the future. Here in Houston, old families or aristocracies do not count for much except in cocktail party conversation. There is more freedom and less restraint. Hence the destruction of many old architectural gems, but the fascinating growth and change of our city. I have a cousin in Europe who is a duke, a member of the high nobility. He and the other Grandees are used to a certain deference regardless of financial net worth. He finds Houston to be a fascinating yet puzzling city. We pay little attention to things of the past as they do in Europe. Houston is almost the personification of money talks, bull**** walks. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
