HOUSTON | EMBASSY SUITES | HEIGHT? | 22 (or 19?) FLOORS

The parking lot traced around in blue is where this tower will sit. Hope you don't mind me using this photo photolitherland. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1136/...eb34b0db_o.jpg From photolitherland here on SSP Quote:

I do not like this building for downtown. it would be better in uptown or somewhere else. Same for one park place.
|
I don't know about you, but it seems like much of downtown Houston's most notable skyscrapers are all very similar because they were almost all built in the same time period. I feel like it's audacious but necessary to foster a different style of high-rise surrounding the Discovery Green, further defining it as a new, seperate, yet still integrated district within downtown. It would be repetitive to have more of the same.
Just the opinion of an outsider who is rather curious about your city. |

I agree 100% Its time for something different in Houston. Every tower for the most part is just a big glass block, I like that but Houston needs some more variety. Although this tower wont really make an impact on the skyline at all but it will make Discovery Green feel more like an enclosed urban park. Oh and does anybody know where the parking for this hotel will be. Please dont tell me they are going to be building yet another freakin parking garage for this one. |
^ I think the parking garage will be on the side of the building.
Im glad this building has a spire. :) |
Hmm i do wander were the parking will be. They should just put it all under ground. Or add more floors for the parking.
I would like to see a better rendering of the project. Give us some more details about the height and final design of it and yes a spire would be very kewl... :tup: |

Do you think this is for construction or just city maintenance? I know construction was supposed to start this month.

I am guessing since this is just soil testing than it will still be about 5 months or so before we see any more signs of construction.
Here are some renders I found for the tower. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3608/...2ea131d4_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3656/...bb8b4ba1_o.jpg |
Hmm, well its good to see some stuff going on at the site. Nice find. I will check it out today when i go to the Astros game tonite...
|
Wow, I've missed alot of stuff lately!
Glad to see some activity! :banana: |
Those are test bores being done. It is standard procedure. The results help with design of the structure.
It is not construction of the actual structure. |
Hotel could get a tax deal

One the one hand, this is an architectural turd, but on the other, I love the accelerated enclosure of the new park and quick development of a new major activity center extending downtown.
