HOUSTON | Aris Market Square | 371 FT / 113 M | 32 FLOORS
a rendering was just leaked today along with more information on Hines planned residential tower at Market Square park. it will be 25 stories of residential units on top of a 7 story garage, on top of a level of ground floor retail.
A First Look at Some of the 33-Story Apartment Tower Hines Wants To Build in Market Square
HINES AND Ziegler Cooper have presented this drawing (and several maps and site plans) to the Historical Commission in their bid to build a 33-story residential tower on the Downtown block bound by Preston, Prairie, Main, and Travis, catty-corner from Market Square Park. Unfortunately, there’s no image available of the whole thing. (You’ll have to extrapolate upward, as they say.) But the application materials for a Certificate of Appropriateness to build in the Main Street Market Square historic district show that the once-rumored tower would comprise 25 stories and 289 residential units atop a 7-level podium parking garage atop 1 level of retail on the street.

Of all of the things going up in Houston, this is the most important one to me. It's a game changer for downtown... hopefully.
Market Square Park is the central point for most folks who live downtown (The Rice, Hermann Lofts, Hogg Palace, Bayou Lofts, etc...). The renovation of the square to add things residents would use like dog runs, playgrounds, and Niko Niko's was the catalyst to get things going. Now, there are all sorts of new restaurants and neighborhood type bars that might make it for the long haul and be attractive to potential residents unlike the club circuit of the early 2000s.
Total height of the building is 359’ to the flat roof with an additional 5’ to 20’ for penthouse and equipment screening.
That link also shows the height as 359 feet 10 inches to the main roof with an extra 21 feet 8 inches to the mechanical penthouse roof. So it comes to 381 feet 6 inches.
Main roof according to the section diagram is 368'-10", mechanical penthouse adds 21'-8", for a total of 391'-6". The diagram appears to count 0'-0" at grade, note the height of the retail space in the 2 different section diagrams. Good enough for me.
You're right! It does say 368. It was too pixelated for me to tell. So 391 feet 6 inches should be the height. 359 feet seemed too short for a 33-story building.

Seems about right for a 25-story residential on top of 7-floors of parking.

It's so awesome that all the shit parking lots around market square are getting developed and that they aren't tearing any historic buildings down to do so.
