L.E.D. lights
to Optimus Prime and Kevin from Texas;
The L.E.D. idea is great, the L.E.D. lights take up very little electricity and they are much brighter than traditional bulbs. The medical center has several buildings with L.E.D. lighting and the area looks awesome at night. The Mosaic towers on 288 are great examples of L.E.D. lighting done right. The towers each have two rows of colored L.E.D. lights on each floor going up. Going back to the downtown towers, maybe the new towers going up will be lit up. In the renderings for Main Place and the Hess Tower; they show the buildings lit up on the top floors. The Reliant energy plaza, Chase tower, Wells Fargo tower, Heritage plaza, and the WEDGE tower are the buildings that I would like to see lit up at night again. The Wells Fargo tower has a small section of neon that is on but the rest of the "halo" has been out for over a year now. |

Man I hope that gets off the ground. I mean I REALLY hope it gets off the ground. How far along is it happening in the stages? I would really love to see this happen for Houston. This along with West Ave are very impressive projects inside the loop in Houston.

"Europa at Houstonian Lakes, a 500-acre master planned community. LandQuest development group (or L Star, they've recently partnered with Starwood development) is the developer. If built, it will be located ssw of the Reliant Stadium."
On Holmes Road. Maybe I'm not visioning it right, but it's out in the middle of nowhere and doesn't really look like anything else in the neighborhood. As for the Menil proposals, those boxy little midrises caught my eye. They look very European. I assume all residences? |
Regent square renderings look awesome. Very Kewl...
:wizard: |
Main Place glass looks greyish...I like i!

They may not have secured financing for Regent, but they're is a big step being taken by the city in offering I think a $17 million dollar tax break to get the project up and running. I saw two stories about it one of KHOU and the other in the Chronicle.

Great updates Complex and I'm sorry that you are leaving Houston!

That is one ambitious project. Hope that gets off the ground and I hope it's sooner than later.

LED's & Fiber Optics are the way to go now days. We're starting to use LED's as neon replacement on our buildings here in Tyler out of all places which hasn't had its downtown buildings lit up in a long, long time...at least 20 years. Hopefully by the end of the summer we'll have Tyler's downtown skyline lit up pretty good. The Plaza Tower, Tyler's tallest at almost 300 ft. just got outlined in red LED's, next is the old Petroleum Building hopefully *crosses fingers* :tup: Wells Fargo's neon was more than likely damaged from Ike & the owners either A. have not clue a small portion of it is still lit or B. they do know & don't care to do anything about it. Houston has so much potential its unreal. Too bad the building owners don't feel as strongly about their city's night time skyline as we do. Dallas & Austin are doing an excellent job with their night skylines as usual. |
