yeah you would think they would change it up a bit or something.

Houston is easily my favorite city in Texas, followed by Dallas and San Antonio. I have to list Dallas and San Antonio as a tie, because I like them evenly... but I absolutely love Houston.

Great projects. One thing I've always noticed about Houston is, it changes considerably between visits. Nothing is a constant there; the city is always growing.

37-stories | 386 feet tall



Park Tower is planned for downtown Houston on the block bounded by LaBranch, Lamar, Austin, and McKinney streets. It will be adjacent to a new 12-acre park that is currently under construction. Park Tower will have 347 apartments located on 30 floors. Parking will be contained on floors 2-7 and a 3,000 sf lobby and 21,900 sf of retail space will occupy the ground floor. Construction could begin late this year and completion is targeted for early 2008. There are several nice renderings on the projects website.

Wow a park. I am amazed. Usually these Houston Developers are about nothing but cement. Cement and wanting to destroy everything with a little character. I swear if they could do eminient domain that they would take all of our homes.

Im glad this is going up. Im not particularly a fan of all the glass apartment towers. I like some of the ones in the museum district the best.
