In one photo there's new construction that may be One Shell Plaza, which I think was completed in the late 60s (on second thought, it doesn't look like it's in the right place).

Interestingly, the Houston House, where Photolith lived a few years ago, was already there and looked pretty much the same as today.

Midway Cos. announced Monday a major expansion for its mixed-use CityCentre project that will include two new office towers, a high-rise multifamily building and new shops and restaurants.

Through a partnership with LaSalle Investment Management, Midway is set to begin marketing the office component of a 6.4-acre extension that will bring the northern border of CityCentre to Interstate 1o. The new buildings, which will be leased by Colvill Office Properties, will include a total of 740,000 square feet.

In addition, a residential building, 22,400 square feet of retail space and a one-acre greenspace has been designed for the project.

The new office buildings, CityCentre Towers 1 and 2, will rise 16 stories and include nine levels of parking. Floor plates will average around 26,000 square feet.

A 13-story multifamily building with 270 units is set to include one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans. The building will have a rooftop amenity deck with a swimming pool.

Filmed this just a while ago. This is standing east across Eldridge Parkway from ConocoPhillips' new Energy Center 3 building. Nice addition to not only the building but to the Energy Corridor. I wonder if the other two buildings will have something similar?

thanks for the video! in one of the descriptions for the complex i seem to recall that building III was the only one they mentioned having an "illuminated lantern". hopefully the others do too though, it could make for a cool vibe in the area. so no screens facing west?

I didn't even think to check, but I will take a look tonight to see if they installed one of these "lanterns" on the west side of the building (unless somebody else already knows the answer). I think that would look nice.
