Not sure if the op know the correct height though. @Urbannizer what is the actual height of it? Looks like we actually have a thread here on it: 74 floors / 1025' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttuchris Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I tried to walk through this new plaza last weekend on my way to AMC. Security quickly told me to leave and that the plaza was closed to the public. It was bizarre. There are no fences and they had music playing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 More like a farmerless farmers market. Glad to see something happening with that space, though. Such a massive change from the old days when if you even lingered too long on the open space, the security guards would move you along. Lots of these little markets popping up around downtown lately. I went to one in 609 Main yesterday, and there was one earlier in the week in Understory. At 609, I bought good olive oil, bad cookies, and not great coffee cake. It's surprising how every single vendor takes tap-to-pay payments, but only maybe half of them have business cards so you can find them after the pop-up market is over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really should put up signs, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samagon Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 looks like the proposed tower in Austin that would have been taller than this one has been reduced in height, so Houston will retain the tallest tower in Texas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wilson Tower (1035ft), which was supposed to be the new tallest, had it's height cut. The Waterline (1,022ft), is still under construction, which will be the new tallest. So as of now, JP Morgan Chase Tower will be #2. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Hines is letting the bank use the meeting facilities at 600 Travis. I haven't been inside since the ZC renovations. Very nice!! One of the conference rooms on the second floor is called IM Pei. Awesome!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they went through all sorts of gymnastics to get up to that height. Looks like two separate towers, on stilts, on top of a massive podium, which itself is on stilts. Chase tower rises from street level all the way to its tippy top. Chase should just add a crown after that Austin tower is completed and say nice try, but sorry. But then again, Chase was originally planned to be taller, but FAA restrictions resulted in a shorter building. I wonder if the FAA would block a 25 ft crown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chase Tower is standing pretty at 1,049ft. On 9/8/2023 at 2:37 PM, rechlin said: I've seen as many people claim this as people who say it's an urban legend and false. Does anyone know the real story? E-mailed the architects well over a decade ago. Like back in AOL times. Advised the building grew and shrunk before they settled at the current height/floor count. Have yet to see any solid proof (from either perspective), that there was an official FAA statement blocking the height of the tower - let alone the proposed BOTSW Tower. They did tell me the FAA were concerned about the flight path into Hobby. A 75 floor count cap by the FAA is strange. Floor height varies. There would be a definitive height cap, like San Diego, or Singapore, in feet/meters. For now, I'd say it's an urban legend. Wouldn't put it past the Chron to peddle it. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I watched this week's solar eclipse at Chase Tower. I was surprised how many employees came out to view. Hundreds of people. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
