As more proposals come out, I am beginning to envision a future corridor of high-rise and dense mid-rise development along Allen Parkway extending out from the downtown skyline and along the Bayou. The growth of Houston's core districts between Downtown and Uptown is beginning to take a form similar to the chunk of Los Angeles between Downtown LA and Century City, or Manhattan between Midtown and the Financial District, but turned 90 degrees. You could further extend that to the Medical Center and chart a triangle. The greater central Houston taking form as the city grows and emerges on the world stage. It's so cool to watch happening, tbh.
How cool would it be to see another 900+ footer rise on the northern edge of Uptown? Something that would "balance out" the Williams (Transco) tower on the southern edge would be awesome.
