fernz Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 The Hanover building is turning into one of those rare cases where the building looks better than the renderings. The building has some really nice brick work going on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatesdisastr Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 The Hanover building is turning into one of those rare cases where the building looks better than the renderings. The building has some really nice brick work going on. Do you have any pictures of the nice brick work? From the view I have from my office it doesn't look all that great from afar.

I don't, I was just noticing when I was driving by the other day. The are using light tan and almost black brick, and tehy are doing some sort of fins running vertically; looks nice.

ArchFan Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 The flat south and east sides of the Hanover tower are being clad with what looks like light-colored brick, in combo with a dark brick-like surface. The latter seems to echo similar material on the facades of the new buildings facing Post Oak. OTOH, the curved side facing NE looks like it won't have much, if any, brick. That's the side that most of the publicly distributed renderings have shown ... which is probably why the brick came as a surprise to us. In any case, the building is starting to look different than I expected. I'm reserving judgement on whether I like it or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see lots and lots of foot trafficIt already is. Westheimer is already unbearable as it is and they usually have police trying to direct traffic at Post Oak. Keyword: trying. They sometimes seem to cause more problems than they solve, especially with the amount of confused drivers we have in this city.

richfish Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 They're moving painfully slow finishing up the retail portion. So much for the 'Opening Early 2014' on the sign at the intersection. The Whole Foods website says the store will open Summer 2014. At this rate, that'll be September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
