One Park Place

In brief: A 37 story, 346 unit apartment tower with street level retail & grocery store. The first such construction in the downtown district (others have been conversions) since the 1960s. It is seen by many as the first major development to be spurred by the construction of Discovery Green, which is directly across La Branch street from this building.

Developer: The Finger Companies
Architect: Jackson & Ryan Architects
Contractor: D.E. Harvey Builders

Construction: 2007-2009

One Park Place is getting up there,and in that last photo you can see that Discovery tower crane is up.

Ohh that last pic is way kewl. You should put it in the city compilations. I honestly think OPP looks so much better in person then in the renderings. It really is going to make a huge difference. Very very nice...

[HOUSTONIAN57]

I agree with what he says.You should put in the Houston update as well

It does. I went to a Rockets playoff game, and the whole area looks VERY nice in person. Much better than photos (not saying the photos are bad though).

Was this thread started over again or something? Glad to see stuff on this tower again though, its been a while.

Excellent update. I also agree that the last pic is the bomb.

Discovery Green PROVES that a private/public project can lead to wonderful things. Now, let's just hope people get on board and we can move forward with light rail expansion and the Buffalo Bayou Project.

I wish someone could find the height for the new Methodist Hospital Outpatient Care Center. It looks like it might become the 2nd or 3rd tallest in the TMC.

I was wondering what this would be. I was just in Houston last night. 2nd time in the city and I got to see a lot more than the 1st time. Houston is looking good!

They're on the 37th floor, the final residential level.

i like it.

The bricks look sickly.. I hope it's just mortar dust giving them that pale, incosistent color.

[Complex01]

They still have some work to do. There is dust all over the place. Plus it doesnt help that when it rains there is dirt in the rain and it covers everything. I am sick of washing my car. Over it...

It is, which is why they've been washing off the parkside & east/west facades over the past week.

[Wattleigh]

From earlier in the week when they were completing the 37th floor...

[Xeelee]

Almost done.

[Complex01]

Yup. Then they start working on the roof, and that is some good height. Nice pics looking great...

[Michi]

I meant to get a picture, but you can see it from all the way out on West Gray near Waugh.

[Xeelee]

Awesome. I took some the other day too.
