Good stuff. The Metropolitan looks good there.

You don't like buildings that are skinnier than a supermodel?:haha:

I could never figure out how it could withstand getting blown down in a windstorm.

But at least it's tall...

would have looked nice though, with two matchign highrises right next door!!

Would have looked like it wanted a granite tabletop...

Happy Sunday. So i took my bike downtown this weekend and had a little sun, before the clouds rolled in. When you were in the sun it was warm, but when in the shade next to some of the those parking garages, it was cold. Anyhow enjoy, now that i got me a camera, expect a lot more updates from me. Enjoy...

:yes:

Some random Houston...

anyone know what's going on the intersection of westheimer and yorktown; they torn down a parking garage across the street from the CVS.

I think that's the spot where the Aloft hotel was planned for. I noticed the fence was up over the past month or so, but I thought it was just for renovations or reconstruction.

I do not guess anybody has posted this pic that was posted on TheHaif.com yet here.. Its of the Discovery Tower

looks nice

Is this where City Center is supposed to be?

It's all fenced out that's why I ask.

Medical Center Tower. This one is on Fannin.

Another Medical C3ntre Tower. This one is on Holcombe. Anyone know the name?

That spot does not quite look like it..

this is a very very old satilite image of the place..

Texas - Main - Fannin - Capitol Block

That one building is still there though, everything else is leveled..

@ Xeelee: The block that's fenced off in DT will be 6 Houston Center, which is a 28 story tower and is supposed to have a groundbreaking on March 6th. The second building is the Methodist Hospital Inpatient Expansion (The site is wrong in that the building is supposed to be complete in 2010) and the final building is Life Science Plaza on W. Holcombe.

i thought 6HC is going up right next to 5HC

Naw... it's a little off.

I believe this is some new Rice building. One with a roundish feature.

That's Discovery Tower. 6 HC is a bit tucked away behind 1HC and the Fulbright Tower on the San Jacinto/Caroline/Walker/Rusk block.

The building on the Rice campus is the Collaborative Research Center.
