Twinsanity02 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Good luck on this. Tried using Emporis, on the first 19 pages got to over 300 existing or under construction. Thought that was the complete list,but more are listed later. Can't count now maybe later. We have a lot of highrises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmitch94 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I know Wikipedia and skyscraper forum have different numbers (using the 12 story rule) I was just wondering if they were current or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Just updated the Texas Cities Directory on Skyscraperpage: 38 buildings under construction; 54 buildings proposed. Edit: Also just created a thread there for the 10 Tallest Projects U/C in Texas. Currently, we have 6 that make the list. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinsanity02 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Take this information with a healthy dose of skepticism. Looking at raw numbers from Emporis regarding "exisiting buildings" , Houston surprisingly ranks as #2 ahead of Chicago ( 3335 vs 3056), but way behind NYC. I do not know how many fall into the technical definition of a high rise which has something to do with fire codes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Found this: http://skyscrapercenter.com/interactive-data/submit?type%5B%5D=building&status%5B%5D=COM&status%5B%5D=UC&status%5B%5D=UCT&status%5B%5D=STO&status%5B%5D=PRO&base_city=1593&base_height_range=0&base_company=All&base_min_year=1900&base_max_year=9999&skip_comparison=on&output%5B%5D=list And this which ranks us 24th in the World - http://skyscrapercenter.com/cities I was shocked to see Miami has not 1 but 5 buildings taller than JP Morgan Chase under construction - damn! According to the information to which you linked, Miami has zero buildings taller than 600 Travis (formerly known as JP Morgan Chase Tower) either existing or under construction. Six are proposed, but none under construction.

Rube88 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I was watching a local Houston educational channel this past week and they had a program about the Energy Corridor. It looked fairly recent. in the program they had a spokeswoman for BP saying they had plans to build two more buildings, one for the Energy and Gas and one for Worldwide Exploration. I am not sure if the former one was the recent computing center, but I could not find anything about the building for Worldwide Exploration. Anyone have any knowledge on this?

Twinsanity02 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Anyone who hasn't driven through downtown Houston in the last four years will be in for a shock. The place has and is certainly densifying with all the new construction. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be quite easy to find street parking almost anywhere... from Market Square Park to the Discovery Green area. Now it's nearly impossible from 7am to 11pm. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinsanity02 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Just be careful parking on Polk near Caroline. Several of us got bagged over the Christmas holiday. No one noticed some obscure sign (among many) regarding no parking due to a non- metro bus stop. In addition there are marking on the street outlining car parking. Back to topic, many of the streets which used to have large gaps from surface lots have buildings or construction.For example Main, Austin, and Capitol streets. Louisiana and Milam seem to feel the most like an urban canyon. Visually pleasant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinsanity02 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 A bit off topic, but related to development. . Depending on your point of view good news or bad. New census estimates claim the Houston MSA grew by approximately 163,000 from 2014 to 1015. The largest increase in the country once again. Second year in a row growth has been greater than 150K. Population must be over 6.7 million at this point. Amazing numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
