Montrose1100 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Boris you ol' redstar thing you! You would think they would keep an eye on people photographing this type of building, but I guess since it was from a public road . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinoda28107 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 pretty-large building. Gee...i'm beginning to like the modest 290 urban cluster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catjo47 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 The new FBI / GSA building is just off the northeast corner of 43rd & 290.A better view can be had from Pinemont, just west of the Park & Ride. It has been a wonder to watch this building go up. I am just a lay person, a trueseeker of unigue building structures. I dare say this will be a very secure building, Looks to me it just topped out this week. Dobt that it will be occupied before the end of this year.

strickn Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Our gal Nancy covered the FBI building awhile ago. It is indeed up off of 290 near Pinemont.The Faculty Center Tower is under construction right now in the Med Center. It's South of Holcombe directly behind the 13 story Faculty Center Tower and the 12 story Rotary House Int'l. It'll be 324 feet tall when done and will definitely leave a mark on the TMC skyline!If only that mark weren't banal and unyielding in all the ways that the building M.D. Anderson means it to "replace" - the Prudential Bldg, 1100 Holcombe - is gracious.The FBI facade method in which the building is thermally and light-shaded by an outer skin is something we have been needing to see appended to some sort of regional vernacular building layout system and used frequently in local projects. Paying for that partial outer shell can make untold improvements in occupants' quality of life and lightness of A/C use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
