Yonkers Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 I was told that the Residence is around 84% sold now with TCO for floors 16-24 and moving on up. More than a dozen closings have happened with a handful of residents actually living onsite now. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosFeliz Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 84% at those prices prove that there is demand for high end housing attached to hotel brands for the amenities. Let's hope this leads to a few more of these sprinkled between downtown and uptown. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did that with the new sidewalks on Hawthorne as well. It can be a little awkward walking on, but it's a good solution. I'm curious how it compares in longevity to the rubber they use in parts of Boston (and presumably other places).

Twinsanity02 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Glad tree roots are protected, but a bit leery on how slippery they are, especially after a rain. Suppose it is better than the sidewalk being lifted a foot up by tree roots. Moving in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We walked over a few of these on Saturday night in the Heights immediately after it rained, can confirm that they get slippery. Not terrible for most people but could certainly be a problem for some.

My wife and I lived in a high-rise for a few years which had a clear view of the refineries. They actually looked kind of pretty with their flares sparkling clear across the horizon at night. But also, whenever I saw them, this is what went through my mind: Quote The old world will burn in the fires of industry. The forests will fall. A new order will rise. We will drive the machinery of war with the sword and the spear and the iron fist of the Orc. We have only to remove those who oppose us. ~ Saruman the White 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 8 minutes ago, hindesky said: A towering new high rise along Allen Parkway is being called an eyesore by some Houstonians thanks to a series of ultra-bright lights covering the exterior of the building. Construction on The Allen, at 759 Gillette St. just west of Downtown, began in 2019. At the time, the tower was lauded for its proximity to Buffalo Bayou and its mixed-use offerings, which include retail stores, restaurants, a spa, and a 172-room luxury hotel from Thompson Hotels, as well as 99 luxury condos starting at $1.8 million. Among those condos are 22 multi-story penthouses, priced between $3 million and $9 million, with floor-to-ceiling windows and "state of the art" amenities including smart lighting, music controls, temperature controls and electronic vehicle charging stations in the parking garage. A May Instagram post from Thompson Hotels referred to the tower as an "architectural marvel poised to become the fashion-forward landmark of the city." That was until September when the lights came on. The decorative lights, which appear as horizontal bars wrapping around the building, appear brighter than nearly anything else in the Houston skyline. And that's led to plenty of discussion on social media. In a lengthy thread on the Houston Architecture Information Forum, posters at first were excited about the lighting, writing that it added a modern and "posh" look to Downtown. But pretty soon the questions came. "I could see the neighbors complaining about how bright it is," one user wrote, along with photos taken from a distance showing just how bright the lights look from afar. https://www.chron.com/culture/article/houston-allen-parkway-tower-lights-18591772.php I wonder who that person on HAIF is? 😏🤷♂️🙊 There was a thread on r/houston, and thought I was on nextdoor for a second. It's just as bright as 1 Shell in the distance. Our Downtown lighting is a joke, the absolute minimum. A lighting scheme comes along with something other than just the roof outline and it's an "eyesore". If it's a bright enough problem for the Allen House or the Apartments to the south, sure they could dim them a bit. Otherwise, think it looks great. Downtown properties should step up their game if they don't wish to be outshined. Complaining about lack of lights as another ERCOT warning comes out for next week. 🙄 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yonkers Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I think it's already been dimmed. Doesn't seem as bright as it was previously when it was first brought up in this thread. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shasta Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I see that EOS is expanding into the old Fitness build-out near Salata, on West gray. I'm assuming the EOS in the Allen is remaining and they are adding a second location in this area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
