I like the looks of this building. The site is very narrow so the sleek glass/steel combo is a perfect fit.
Best thing is that this is being built across the street from West Ave (mixed-use) and residents will be able to WALK to plenty of shopping (including a Whole Foods), restaurants, and bars. That's a good thing because Kirby @ Westheimer is already a mess! |
It's funny to see West Ave. and this building at rising about the same number of levels, just across the street from each other.
I'm aware that 2727 probably took longer as in addition to some financing issues, it also requires some different approaches to engineering as there is a parking structure within the base. The good news is that it seems they will be done with the parking component relatively soon and the rest of the building should rise a bit quicker from that point. |
Good to see it rise. I really like this one also. Nice modern, sleek design and I like the colors.

Glad to see Houston with some action in the works...wish San Antonio could get some nicely designed buildings like that. Not overwheelmingly tall, but thin, shiney, and tasteful.
|
It will stand out in the area thats for sure. It is a nice building...

I'm pretty sure J.Dskyhigh was making a joke about the rendering.

Anyway, here's a few photos I took Sunday afternoon. Looks like they might have finally finished up the parking garage inside the base of the building so the floors should start appearing faster now :tup: http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w...n/DSC02020.jpg http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w...n/DSC02016.jpg http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w...n/DSC02017.jpg |
