The 420,000-SF tower is being designed by the Kirsksey architecture firm. The building, which has an estimated construction cost of $55 million, will break ground in August and be completed in early 2021. The project will be located on a 4.2-acre site on the north side of the Katy Freeway, not far from the Ikea store. The property is east of Chimney Rock and west of Antoine Drive. Crown Castle, a major cell phone tower company, current has its offices at 1220 Augusta Drive on the western edge of the Galleria area. The new podium-style building will have office space above a parking garage. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again like a lot of firms here I would say "consistent" which is different from mediocre. Kirksey does consistent, and reliable work. They definitely don't turn heads, but would say they are a solid firm, as far as a corporate firm goes.

I remember once looking to do some freelance work by doing little competitions on here, but its extremely rare that anything from here actually becomes a project. Most on that site are simply looking for design ideas and possible best approaches. Would take anything that you find there with a large grain of salt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
