I like the parking lot with the 1 tree in the middle. That really helps
Ok, we get it, DT Houston has shit tons of parking lots. But dont you parking lot bashers know that the city in the past ten years has covered up I believe nearly 23 blocks of parking with either buildings or parks? That leaves about 31 more blocks of parking left to be developed. So at this pace, in 10 more years, downtown shouldnt have too many more parking lots left.

Lol, no you took that the wrong way. I meant they put trees there for shade right? But that parking lot just had 1 little tree in the middle, like it would actually make a difference for the cars. I just thought it was kind of funny.
I'm totally with you on the Houston parking lot thing. And I usually tell the same thing to people when they bring that up.
They are moving quick on this one. Already starting another floor...

What is the green block to the right of this? Is that a park?
Yeah, only one of the great urban greenspaces in the city. Helped spurred a lot of the new development in Downtown. Hard to imagine where Downtown would be without it.
I still havent been able to find an official height for this tower or even a website for it and Ive looked.
I know, it's odd that construction is well under way and the only rendering we have is a hand-drawn one that is a few years old. Who knows what it's gonna look like?

The City's permitting department would know.
