Houston has yet to fully embrace living in high rises.
Obviously the glut of new office construction within the last 10 years is a big hindrance, but there's also the glut of aging office space that was built in mass during the 70s/80s that is due to be renovated or demolished. Downtown Houston seems to have momentum going for it.
