After looking at it a bit, this project almost looks like the Mandarin in Chicago.

Also, here are some images:

This project fits exactly in the location the article was talking about.

Great too see Houston getting a 60+ footer last time I whent too Houston it seemed as if nothing was happening!!!

Houston is booming right now!

glad to see houston booming and getting a 60+ story tower! hope there are more towers to come :)

I like that design ! very interesting !

ummm a 60 story tower being approved doesnt mean a city is booming. Houston needs to do more...lots more to be considered booming

Do you think this is the only thing going up in Houston?

Ooooo can't wait too goto Houston next time since you say it is booming!

very cool tower, it looks modern.

not bad design. it will fit Houston well ;)

When will this start construction?

Nice tower for Houston, will be an amazing addition to the city skyline

Hustle-Town would b insane not to grabb this and run wit it....sure would boost the skyline up a couple points

WOW! Finally Houston going to have one of tallest buildings! :) I miss Houston already. I was there last November.

so has ne one heard about ne progress toget this building in the construction stage...? would be nice to see some more talls in TeXaS....give me a reason for a road trip

Nice! What are the chances of this tower becoming a reality?

This would be nice for the Houston skyline, hope it gets approved.!!!!

awesome for Houston, the building looks cool

Ooooo can't wait too goto Houston next time since you say it is booming!:lol:

Good for Houston though. the more towers in this country the better :cheers1:

nice for houston!

couldn't have been better designed...:cheers:
If only Toronto had a real boom like that:ohno:

are there any other renderings for the tower? damn..i need to check into the Houston forums more often...since I DO live here now. :D

has there been any news on this building yet....would love to see houston in the ranks of other global cities for skyline....can wait til it built

I don't think the development has 60 floors. I looked at Emporis and it said the building has 46 floors and rises 630 ft.

Emporis's listing might be the Hines office tower. it sure sounds like it...

great building

No, that is actually a different project located on the same street and by the same developer.
