I kinda dig the isolated look. Towers mingling within low rises. Kinda adds a sort of Asian feel, almost like a Beijing style to where towers stretch for miles, and are not clustered in one CBD, but instead, among smaller structures over a wide area.

Seems like every other day a 40+ floor tower goes into the pipeline.

Update: The tower is 54-floors. As for the smaller buildings, one is a 200-room hotel and the other is a retail lifestyle center.

Is the larger building condo or apartment?

It will be somewhere near the Port of Houston. I haven't reread the article, but I believe it will be near the Turning Basin. The article mentioned that the Sam Houston tour boat will depart from the museum.

Plans originally called for 35,000 sq ft of retail and two towers, one office/condo and the other a hotel. The tower component has expanded with the addition of two condo towers, removing the condo units from the office building.

Downtown officials have narrowed down the list of developers they are looking at to redo downtown’s former Sakowitz building and an adjacent property to three, the latest step in a plan to add more retail options to the city center.

The Downtown Redevelopment Authority hopes to facilitate an agreement between the owner of 1111 Main and 1010 Lamar and a developer that would result in a mixed-use project with some 90,000 square feet of retail space along with residential units or a hotel.

A half dozen groups, which the authority declined to name, submitted initial proposals early this summer. Each of the three groups on the shortlist has been asked to provide additional information, which is expected to come in by Sept. 15, Ryan Leach, executive director of the Downtown Redevelopment Authority, said at a monthly board meeting Tuesday.

“If all goes well … we are hoping we can get that paper work wrapped up before the end of the year and have the project started as soon as possible thereafter,” he said.

1010 Lamar, the lower levels of this office building will be redeveloped.

Part of me says put it with the other museums in the Museum District, but the other part says that a location close to the Port is appropriate for it.
