Damn, it looks amazing. Although I dont like that it replaced some old buildings, I think its a very worthy replacement. On another note, that ugly building in the front of MainPlace needs to be turned into apartments or something. Its been abandoned for at least 15 years.

Yes, Main Place was more than worth it. I like the design of the of the building but the facade is what really makes this building awesome. It looks so sexy when you're standing a block away.

Sept 16 update; some of my best shots.

I was out downtown today in the 95 degree heat, but I was able to get shots of almost every angle of this awesome building.

That notch makes the building really stand out. Whoever came up with that design choice is a genius.

Another beautiful Pickard Chilton tower. I'm really pleased with the Pinnacle in Nashville too.

The building looks fantastic in person. It is now my favorite one in Houston.
