I wouldn't pooh pooh the whole thing just yet. A 25-story Skyhouse was announced for Frisco Station today. Frisco will be fine.

The absolute longest construction project in the history of mankind.

Nice, Troy.
Iconic, even.

I was at Kroger's yesterday and picked up a six-pack of Miller Lite to take home to watch NFL Football and was properly informed by a store employee that I couldn't buy the beer until 12 Noon. I thought to myself, Amazon would not want to HQ in a place as backward as this.

I'm so confused. What the heck are they actually building here?

The whole point of that flyer ^ is to lease up 8,000 ft of retail.

I find it useful to just click Quick Links and Unread Posts to keep up with what's being posted.

I think the HSR project could be an excellent infrastructure project to bring investment back into to Houston after Harvey. Since this is a private project, my mind was going in the opposite direction. Meaning, if Houston starts declining as a city, there is less incentive for this project to actua...

We've always know they were going to cover those parking floors. That is why I've always wondered about the venom directed at this nice in-fill tower. The renderings always suggested it would look just fine.

texasstar

Just wondering why this one is looking good while the one across the street, which is also a glass box, is supposedly some kind of abomination.

texasstar

Amazing!!!

Great collection!!!

I spent a week in downtown Chicago a couple of years ago. For a "declining" city, it sure looked impressive to me.

Are they counting that antenna in the building height? If so, is it REALLY LA's tallest? Yeah, the "spire" is 294 feet tall. So, this is a nice looking tower, but it's NOT the tallest building in Los Angeles. http://urbandallas.us/images/la_tallest.jpg source: SkyscraperPage.com

Finally, here is a project that looks much better in real life than it ever looked in the renderings.

All that brick gives it a classy look.

Nice pics, guys!

These two structures are SO MUCH better than what was there before. Big Win!

We'll just have to see.

How bizarre that they changed it. It really did look much better before the alteration.

Hardly. Looks like one of the best I've ever seen here. And a vast improvement over the one it is hiding.

Maybe this has been discussed before, but I missed it. What is the logical reason for having the Houston end of the line terminate at the 610 Loop instead of downtown? I'm assuming there must be one. The article in the News this morning noted the fact, but provided no rationale for it. Personally, I...

This is a big parking tower with a little office space at the top.

^ The article above mentions the "the 50-story Placid Oil co building now being built". Would that be Thanksgiving Tower?

Is it conceivable this tower will have to be dismantled?
