Could an office tower be added to the top of it?... QUOTE Located in the heart of the Allen Center /Cullen Center complex, the Allen Center Garage could accommodate an office building above it.

Anyone know the latest news on this project? I'm assuming its been put on hold due to the current economic climate. I was walking around looking at this building the other day and was thinking if I had fantasy money it would be a great place to buy and remodel and build some sort of wedding chapel and reception hall with a large ballroom and suites etc. You could turn the top floors into ...

It looks like the landscaping has been installed around the new parking garage at Bagby and Allen Parkway, so I am wondering if there won't be any additional work done on the design or facade of the structure? I read that a Heritage Plaza parking garage design received an architecture prize, but obviously what now exists isn't distinguished. A few months ago, I saw a contemporary, ...

I just moved back to Houston after being away for nearly four years, and this website has been just about the most interesting thing I've seen in a long time . . . I'm considering living in the Houston House Apartments, and I wanted to get a second opinion from Houston's most knowledgeable building forum.
