Jax Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I just figured out how to add the One Park Place 3D model to Google Earth! http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/det...2882a44b397b90d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 One Park Place as of yesterday (right side). It's now taller than the brownish building next to it. Looks like about 3 more floors than the last one I posted at the beginning of Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HtownWxBoy Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 It's coming along nicely... they are starting to add some of the windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 This is actually the same shot as before but cropped differently so you can see One Park Place better. I forgot when I uploaded the other one that the size is reduced so you can't zoom in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HtownWxBoy Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 It's getting up there in height... it looked great as I drove southbound on the Pierce Elevated to work this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mls1202 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 At what point do they begin the bricking of the exterior? And is this actual brick by brick laying, or is it more prefabricated brick "blocks" consisting of hundreds of little brick patterns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTAWACS Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 At what point do they begin the bricking of the exterior? And is this actual brick by brick laying, or is it more prefabricated brick "blocks" consisting of hundreds of little brick patterns?The exterior should start pretty soon. And it won't be brick by brick. That would be insane. It will likely be some sort of prefab method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovernorAggie Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 It's getting up there in height... it looked great as I drove southbound on the Pierce Elevated to work this afternoon.It was cool being able to see the lights from 1PP on the Gulf Freeway inbound last night. It really is beginning to make a mark on the skyline!It, Discovery Tower, MainPlace, 6HC, La Quinta, and Embassy Suites will make a nice impression on that side for skyline shots...especially from 59.

ricco67 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 The exterior should start pretty soon. And it won't be brick by brick. That would be insane. It will likely be some sort of prefab method.Actually it IS brick by brick. I thought it would be prefab as well, but there are stacks of bricks on various levels that are waiting to be put up.

totheskies Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Gotta love the Finger companies... always injecting that type of old school quality. Of course it's gonna be real brick... remember the museum tower (http://www.themuseumtower.com/home.html)? This seems to be a modified, larger scale version of that project.

ricco67 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Some photos from today and a couple of days ago. one of the pics, as you can see shows a few stacks of bricks on the scaffolding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I took a few photos this weekend, and you can see the windows going in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mls1202 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Just curious, but do they spray any type of sound insulating foam on the ceiling/floors? I live in a high rise (13 story) in Russia where the concrete slabs merely have plaster applied to them. You can hear people's conversations!

King Owl Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I'm a big fan of the color of brick used on this. It matches Minute Maid Park, the Inn at the Ballpark and Vic and Anthony's very nicely. This building is really going to be a nice addition to downtown and will set a great stage for the new park.

GovernorAggie Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 I agree with the color of brick. The mixture of it and the glass serves the area well--not to mention the height. Coming from Rockets games, it's neat to hear people's reactions (if any) to both 1PP and Discovery Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxman Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Passed by here yesterday and the building is getting ready to pass up 5 Houston. The building still has another 10-15 stories to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Who owns the empty lot next to One Park Place? Could there be a Two Park Place in the future?When One Park Place was announced, the media told us that Finger had contractual control of an adjoining block for a possible additional tower. Someone here on HAIF has told us that cannot be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
