These screen shots include 609 Main, Chevron, Skyhouse, International Tower, Capitol Tower, Marriott Marquis, Five Allen Center and the pair of new hotels planned for the Convention Center area. The proportions are based on tips and information from the posts on this site.

-Eleanor Tinsley Park


-KHOU's "Eagle-Eye" (This one shows up pretty often on their weather segments, so it might be another way to get a look at construction as it's happening)


-Dynamo Stadium Area


-Minute Maid Park


-Eastex Freeway Heading into Downtown


-45 Heading Into Downtown


-Near the current end of the Red Line at UH/D
