Everyone knows that spec office space is dead virtually everywhere in the U.S. for many years. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I love to rag on Austin, the weird youngest kid of the Texas metros, I am always the first to brag on how much Austin is changing and what it's becoming. These shots are gorgeous! If cities like SF and LA could put up construction cranes at this speed, there wouldn't be a housing crisis . . . 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidCenturyMoldy Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 (edited) Since this is HAIF, maybe I can post this without too much backlash. Here is my idea for how Houston might deal with Austin's new supertall. Just after the new tower is topped out, the owners of Wells Fargo Plaza can reveal plans to add exterior wall extensions on the roof. 35 feet ought to do it. The extensions can be glazed or simply covered in a steel mesh for wind resistance. The support structure can be similar to the building in the lower right. I chose Wells Fargo Plaza because it would be easier to add extensions which integrate well with the existing building than it would be to do so on JP Morgan Chase Tower. I also chose extensions of differing heights to make the building a bit more interesting. I know it'll never happen...

The Glass should curve up to that height, throw in an observation deck too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
