Popular Post Eastdwntwn Posted July 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2021 This building is really going to add to the view of downtown from the east. It will really fill in a big gap. Specifically, from the back patio of Around the Corner and Leeland House. I was driving north on Emancipation toward Polk and you can see this building popping up. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rechlin Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Those look like renderings of 3D models rather than photos. There is something eerily unreal about them. Very cool. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hindesky Posted August 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2021 The construction trailers are gone from the parking lot across the street. Sometimes they get moved to the parking garage and I think they are now on the 4th floor, notice the plywood. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonBoy Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Will this be the thinnest building in Houston? Maybe even Texas? It looks like it'll give the Hyatt on Congress in Austin a run for its money. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really happy this tiny block is being developed into a residential tower. Eventually, It will be nice to see what fills in around the historic district's surface lots. Would love to see some smaller and more interesting residential/hotel there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping downtown gets a lot less glass and a lot more brick/classic architecture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glass looks great and I'll take whatever the market gives, but I don't want downtown to look completely blue. In my ideal world we'll get a couple more 700 Louisiana-calibre towers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt we'll get anything "small". All the other vacant lots around there are huge, full city blocks. Big signature towers ahoy! Either that or a bunch of squat, boxy apartments, like the lots closer to the ballpark and freeway. On 8/21/2021 at 7:23 AM, West Timer said: No. More glass. Less stucco/brick/cement. As long as its not ugly, I don't really care what its made out of. Though glass is decidedly "in", as far as looks go.

There are zero full vacant lots north/east of Caroline & Rusk (Historic District). Plenty of full blocks adjacent though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) The new Hyatt in Austin is easily the thinnest highrise in Texas. I dont even think I could lay down sideways in that thing. Edited August 24, 2021 by Valhalla 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcal Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I couldn't find dimensions for the Mercer online, but the penthouses are 4,600 square feet and google maps measure distance says roughly 46X100. Hyatt Centric Austin is evidently 42' wide according to a forum post from 2016 I saw on Google. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
