Another great day in Houston. Some pics from the projects around DownTown. Enjoy...
One Park Place... http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r...r7/pp0508b.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r...er7/PP0508.jpg Discovey Tower... http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r...r7/dt0508a.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r...r7/dt0508b.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r...r7/dt0508c.jpg The tower will look great as it will start to rise from this view... http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r...er7/DT0508.jpg Main Place... http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r...er7/mp0508.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r...r7/mp0508b.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r...r7/mp0508c.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r...r7/mp0508d.jpg :yes: |
i haven't been to downtown since they knocked all those buildings down to make way for MP.

Nice pics, Complex01. One Park Place reminds me a bit of Altavida in Austin, at least at this point. Both are apartment buildings. One Park Place will be almost 100 feet taller though.

Nice pics of a nice weekend. :) |
Thx for the update Complex. I also haven't been DT for a few weeks now. Hope to get down in the area for the 2008's art car parade. Hope to get some funky shots.

I posted this on HAIF earlier, but I wanted to see if anyone here knew as well...
Was a bit curious about a project that has been discussed in the past in various places regarding Hines' plans for a tower for the 600 Block of Main Street. Since many of us are thinking the Houston City Centre project was a bit of a pipe dream and had little if any info, this one seems a bit more legit. It would, as you might guess, be in the same location... better known to many as the spot the Shamrock Tower debacle occured on. At any rate, I stumbled across this page with the rendering included, I was wondering if anyone had additional info on it. It looks like there's 26 or 27 floors above the garage. I'm just ballparking it but maybe 35 floors on this one? It's a bit short for my tastes, but meh. I appreciate the attempt at infill, especially along Main Street. http://www.wylieassociates.com/image...s/full/042.jpg |

Well, at least it's a legit project. :) In the planning stages, but it was confirmed on HAIF. It is a proposal backed by Hines so there's a bit more certainty to this one. Wouldn't hurt if it were taller, but again, that's just one man's opinion ;) At that size, it can halfway blend in with a few of the older highrises near the historic district, but still make a statement with it's slight height advantage and more modern design. Plus, it should be yet another tower you'll be able to see rise from Discovery Green! |
Not too bad... could be flashier though, but it's something.
I take it then that the Houston City Centre is... dead? |

I hate to hear that City Centre is gone as well but I do at least like the design of the new tower above.

The design is fine, it just should be taller. There is plenty of room for it. Also as other people have said, it would be great to have a residential component to it, not just another tower, even though more office towers is good. Anyhow good to see other stuff out there. Who knows what it will end up being.
Nice find btw... :cool: |
hmm has this been posted?

That's the proposed tower at the corner of Post Oak and the West Loop (southbound), correct?
|
Hmm well its a bit further down

City Center was always a fantasy.
