HOUSTON | One Market Square | FT | 46 FLOORS
Developer: Stream Realty, Essex Commercial Properties
Architect: Gensler Type: Office w/ retail Location: 800 Preston, Downtown Construction Timeline: I couldnt find a thread on this tower so i figured id start one. Its another proposed skyscraper in Houston that was supposed to be the first 50 story tower built in 30 years when it was announced back in April (of course now Chevron and Hines have 50+ story buildings supposed to get off the ground next year). the renderings havent been publicly released but a few people have seen it and say it slightly resembles the Burj al arab, and is a pretty dramatic design with a "top fin fish" sail type architectural feature that is supposed to light up down the side of the sail. the tower is mentioned towards the bottom of the page. "International Tower is being developed by Stream Realty and Essex Commercial Properties. This 925,000-square-foot, 37 story, Class A building in the CBD is being marketed as Houston’s first 50-story office tower in 30 years." http://www.us.am.joneslanglasalle.co...ts_Q1_2013.pdf EDIT: one of the renderings just leaked on Swamplot. it shows the original 50 story plan (apparently it was reduced to 41 stories). the new version is of the same design and estimated to be around 725'. http://swamplot.com/wp-content/uploa...-rendering.jpg |

A 37-story building platformed on a 13-story garage would be unusual for downtown. Any potential tenants?

I couldn't find date for that article.

I've just seen this one, and it's pretty nice. Makes a big impact on the skyline due to its location. I can't reveal the renderings until an official announcement is made or something leaks online. There are solar panels(?) within the top and the tower looks somewhat like a head and shoulders shampoo bottle from the south view. The floor count has been reduced to 41 floors - 30 office floors and 11 levels of parking.

725 feet though for a 41 story building, 11 floors being parking garage? that would be fantastic, it just seems a little optimistic (unless there is a crown/architectural feature on top) considering 609 Main is 757' and 49 stories, with a 60' crown on top. i hope the rendering was drawn to scale and your right.. it would have a huge impact on the north end of the skyline. |

How does one edit the thread title? I'm trying to put "725+ FT" in the thread title.
|
^ Done. :) If you want a thread title changed you'll have to ask me or another mod here.

Oh my. Now that is a nice tower. That could end up being iconic for Houston. And it looks like there's an observation deck up there just below the crown.
What is the address for this location? |
