por favor gracias Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I went by there at about 5:00 this evening, and the traffic flow into and out of the underground parking garage was well marked and relatively seamless. There were a lot of people in the store, but it wasn't packed. I'll second that the place is huge and very impressive. And monarch, I looked a few of those red snapper right in the eye...I think you'll like what you see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchFan Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I sat in the bar area this afternoon. it was crowded and lively; prices were quite reasonable also. talked to some nice people, it was fun, I think it's a very nice addition to the neighborhood. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richfish Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Even though I can walk, I drove there this morning to do some shopping (unsure of how much I'd be lugging back home). The underground garage is pretty cool. There's a light above every space that is green when the space is empty and red when it's occupied. Really easy to visually locate a spot an go for it. Definitely something that should catch on elsewhere. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 i was going to post about that as well Richfish! love that feature and it should be used more often in other parking garages etc! ps...love the store and agree its a great addition to my awesome neighborhood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bachanon Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 one of the rare occasions where the finished product exceeds the initial renderings. i'm surprised at how much i like this completed compared to how i felt when i first saw the renderings. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstontexasjack Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I'll have to check to see when the other store located next to Parvizian rugs closes down. That AmREIT site will be prime for that 40-story tower soon enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
august948 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Was there yesterday and visited the Verizon destination store and the Whole Foods bar/brewery. Fresh brewed makes a big difference. We need more of that here. Nice having the parking under the store. A neat feature of the underground parking is that they have colored lights hanging over each space so you can see from a distance which spaces are open and which spaces are filled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bachanon Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 it's interesting how new designs are utilizing passive cooling features like brise soleil; yet 800 bell will be stripped of its very modern (some would say timeless) fins. the picture above is a beautiful building that takes its cue from a mid century design aesthetic. as a city, we seem to be ok with tearing down existing mid century structures but love new buildings with similar features. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This style has been redone for a few years now (modernized), yet the originals get torn down. If current architecture can appreciate it, why aren't the classics be as beloved? I know this may only be a Houston problem. You don't see One Chase Manhattan being recladded...Edit: I know it's a different style but I guess they did try to repaint the Willis Tower.

Montrose1100 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 THEY WANTED TO WHAT? There was a proposal a few years back about painting it a silver color, changing out the glass to a similar silver, and adding wind turbines/making it more energy efficient.http://www.sustainable-chicago.com/2011/06/09/willis-tower-takes-solar-windows-to-new-heights/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need new glasses.Still it would be quite sad if they went through with it and changed the look of the building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
