Shiraishi Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) I have been with this project since early 2015, it's actually 13 stories. The 1st to 3rd level(each 26ft in height) are added with mezzanine level respectively. A rooftop swimming pool is planned right next to a fitness center.

I was thinking the tower crane was going to run out of head room if it was going to 16 stories and the crane doesn't have a climber on it, so 13 makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinsanity02 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Are they actually going to call it the 13th floor? I know superstitious folks think if the 13th floor is labeled the 14th floor that magically takes care of the problem. As Spock says "that is highly illogical Captain".

Do the Chinese consider 13 unlucky though? Could be just an American superstition. Just asking cause I seriously don't know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I have driven past this site every morning going north on Bertner from O.S.T., for the past three years. The building has significantly changed the feel and the scale of this side of the bayou. It also gives the existing boat shaped M.D. Anderson building some company and something to play off of.

Just asking cause I seriously don't know. 13 is actually fine with Chinese culture, however, anything ending with 4 is not. So during early stage planning, we have argument that if 13 has to be avoided, then 4 and 14 have to be avoided as well, which will create too many holes in a tiny piece of cheese. Therefore we stayed with 13 but claimed this is a 16 story building (which technically, partially correct).

Luminare Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Really looking forward to them breaking ground on TMC3. This whole area is going to explode once that happens. So much open land or underused areas out here. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Talked with a worker rigging for the tower crane, he said it was 16 story building. If you count the floors for the southern portion it's 13 but the northern section is currently 15. I think the difference is the giant lobby sections that have very high ceilings. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This land is between Fannin and Bertner south of Brays Bayou, and across the street from the future TMC3. This land has to be very valuable with all of the new developments under construction, or about to break ground surrounding it. This shot makes it clear how little development has occurred in this segment of the ever expanding TMC. Just south of this area lies O.S.T. which has already been absorbed by satellite clinics, hospitals research centers, dental college, Proton Therapy center, and many more related businesses. With TMC3 in the offing, I'm sure this land is very desirous. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
