NenaE Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I really like the architecture of the whole complex, including the Westin, especially when lit up, at night. It breathes new life into the whole area. Noticed the walkway to the mall looks complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
79ta Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 the area (35 tower, surrounding buildings, and the sky bridge) has changed from blue, to alternating red and green, for the holiday season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpringShadows Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 So a couple of interesting things here.New matching blue lights on the condo's next to Balleys/Starbucks and a blue arch added on the new pedestrian bridge from CMex to Memorial City Mall.The biggest thing is new Rendering Banners (which I will try to get a picture of) all around what was once shown as Grass and fountains between the new hospital/Westin and the feeder. What was once grass is now being shown as very cool looking City Center style pedestrian friendly shopping. The architecture (assuming the redering is accurate) looks very cool and reminds me of some buildings I saw in Oslo. Kind of like the adjacent bank, but more slopes and what looked like wooden beams. Pretty awesome.I've also hear that on the North side of the freeway, on Gessner new medical buildings/retail are on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpringShadows Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Much better shots from yesterday... very City Centerish, very pedestrian. This one was very exciting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barracuda Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 It may just be the sketches, but my first impression is that it's too dark and uses too many brown hues. I think they could add some contrast to the color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpringShadows Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 This looks like some of the newer strip malls...You tend to have negative replies to nearly every post on this forum, or at least so it seems, so I'm probably wasting my time here.None the less, I travel to Oslo, Dubai and Singapore yearly. This isn't any more strip-mallish than the nicer new retail areas of those cities. Two story, geometrical, stone, stained wood, and cutting edge design. Strip malls in Houston are typically sprawling 1 story Styrofoam/fake stucco and tan. Nothing like the attached renderings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NenaE Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 It is. There was allot of Westin talk in this thread, so I thought this might be the best place for the pic.About the Westin pool, I like it...but is that a rendering or an actual photograph? Hard to see what's going on with the pool, on the right side of it, where it meets the glass.I love the whole layout. No negativity here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdog08 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 So the gateway is facing the feeder road? This seems kind of pointless, why not put it by the mall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NenaE Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I think its rather brilliant.If you get food poisoning or choking, then you're right there!LOL.....I love this design. Maybe they wanted the shops to be visible to traffic from I-10. They do wrap around the corner, a little bit. This desing reminds me of the one close by, at Town & Country. The hospital patient drop of, pick up entrance takes priority status, maybe.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstonartstudent Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Is the shopping center still going in? Last time I drove by, it looked like the parking garage they're adding is all that will fit?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpringShadows Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Awesome, the new tower mirror being built directly across from the CEMEX building (the one with the wave) screwed up thier windows. There is a darker blue colum down the center, on the topmost level they began putting in the light blue windows. I mentioned to my wife that they were screwing it up, she replied..."I doubt it, nobody's that dumb, all they have to do is just look behind them to see how it needs to look. I'm sure it's to make them look slightly different."Yesterday while shopping at HEB I saw them pulling the light blue out and replacing them with dark blue colum one would expect to see. There's a site foreman that's feeling pretty dumb right now.Is the shopping center still going in? Last time I drove by, it looked like the parking garage they're adding is all that will fit?!They are just finishing the garage first, it's still going ahead. Also they are adding a new garage by the new tower by the CEMEX building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
