Houston-based LMG General Contractors oversaw the construction of Moxy Houston Downtown, while New Orleans-based Campo Architecture & Interior Design served as lead architect on the project.

But there’s been A LOOOOT of improvement since the Super Bowl. Keep them coming! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the opening of the Moxy, I believe we'll be up to 30! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caribomoa Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 The Moxy Hotel brand is also known for having a heavy focus on nightlife. It’s well located by the Main St Bars to have a good impact. Hopefully it helps attract a younger crowd to Main St. The Main St kinda have the reputation for where the older crowd goes. Where as the younger crowds go to Washington Ave or Midtown 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Last night downtown was pretty packed with young people. I've never known Downtown to be mostly the older crowd, I've always seen a good mix 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where as the younger crowds go to Washington Ave or Midtown I guess older is relative, .. My husband and I are in our early 50’s and were by far some of the older ones in Frank’s around 8:30 pm last Saturday. The crowd was a mix of ages though. I do notice a lot of younger people riding the scooters around DT now. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdueenginerd Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 This is interesting construction photo I've not seen before and thank you for sharing. Its intriguing to me that they let their steel sub effectively complete all their work while presumable pouring or laying out 2 intermediate floors, one in the middle of the building, one near the bottom. They also have the supplementary roof framing already installed. A bit of an eye opening and unusual construction sequencing. great find @Highrise Tower 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really haha, It'll have some localized benefits to the gravity members at that level. My speculation is they put it as a staging deck for materials, etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
