monarch Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 ^^^ isn't the MARKET SQUARE TOWER supposed to be like 40x stories? if so, then BRAVA TOWER must undoubtedly be taller than 46x stories... right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DRUTH Posted June 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2021 I am so in love with the design of this building. It's like nothing that is being built in Texas. The abstract lines make this project so unique and FINALLY a cool homage to this city. Can't wait to see it completed! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 If you start at 10 stories from the pool deck I count 45 stories with 1 more to go. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a serious question or a joke? I can't tell. Anyway, if it is serious, Emporis has Brava at 549 feet with 46 floors and Market Square Tower at 498 feet with 40 floors. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pm91 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 love it, but am I the only one that thinks that at certain angles in the skyline, Brava blends completely into Market Square Tower? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the perfect blend in between Market Square and the Texas Tower, particularly from the west. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bobruss Posted June 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2021 One thing it does is create a wonderful layered textural wall that had gaps before they built the Brava. It fills in the gap that was between Market Square Tower and Republic Calpine buildings from the east and north like coming in from 59 north or I10 east. Brava's eastern facade is much more exciting than the western side. I think this is definitely the most exciting small highrises to be added to our skyline in a long time. One of the nice things about viewing from the northeast is you can still see both the Esperson and the Gulf buildings, while enjoying all the shiny new toys on the north east side of town. It will also be interesting to see what the new 42 story high rise does to the eastern skyline. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This combined with the Texas Tower will have big impacts on this part of Downtown. Edited June 16, 2021 by HtownWxBoy 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatguysly Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I know it has to do with floor height but it is crazy to me how much shorter this look compared to the Travis and it being 2 stories less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinsanity02 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 According to Emporis Houston, The Brava is approximately 200 feet taller ( 198 ft for those who wish exactitude), than the Travis. I'm no optical expert, but the effect may be due to the fact the Travis is by itself, whereas the Brava is surrounded by buildings near or superior to it in height. Oklahoma City downtown has a building (Devon energy) that towers over all others. In downtown Houston, or more so Chicago or NYC, it would not be that noticeable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing he meant Texas Tower and not the Travis. Texas Tower and Brava have almost the same number of floors but are very different in height...and they're both in the above photos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatguysly Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 From that view it looks almost the same height as Market Tower and that one is 40 floors. Not like there are elevation changes in Houston to account for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
