Troof. Let’s hope their banker knows the same trick.

This design reminds me a bit of the old one for the JW Marriott. I like the color and materials. This is also complementing Hyatt Place next to it nicely. The garage section steps down from the Hyatt, almost making it seem they're the same structure.

To be fair, we did get hints that the tower portion will look different than the above renderings: https://i.imgur.com/OPYsreZ.png

Was there indeed a slight design change on the tower portion? It's hard to tell with this full render.

Urban, I hope so too

Good catch on the step-down brown patching that carries on the HP pattern, Kevin. That helps explain why it feels like it meshes so well in that spot.

Maybe these Hanover towers are a little copy+paste, but they're all handsome point towers and IMO they keep getting better, this one really looks like the materials will be top notch.

They may be repetitive, but I really like the "Hanover Ctrl+V" designs. This looks really nice and seems to mirror the Austonian somewhat.

Still my favorite strategy for dealing with its parking podium.

You know, the two Hanovers plus 84 East are really doing a lot of the supporting work to make sure our new plateau is solidly at ‘500.

Seems to not be preserving the original facade as much as previous iterations.

These charming arches seem to have been done away with:







That's kind of a pity. I still like it, though. Just a bit less.

Yeah, I think this is going to be a good one. Those panels over the garage levels look both modern for being metal panels and traditional. I was noticing they complement the brick around the street level pretty nicely.

This also got a 2 foot height bump from 511 feet to 513 feet according to the site plan that was posted again to the AULCC page this week.

The backup file for this was also posted to the Design Commission website this week with the renderings seen in the Towers article and a few more colorized elevations showing it at 513 feet.

This tower and Frost are going to be nice compliments to 4th & Brazos, giving context to its' height

Copy+paste, nothing special, but it's handsome and nicely designed. I prefer this kind of copy/paste than those awful poverty siding hotels we've been getting around downtown lately (hotel indigo, homewood suite etc)

I know it, and I agree. Happy to have all 3 copies in our city. Just have to keep drizzling out my bad sim city 2000 jokes as they occur to me.

New elevations dated 07/31 were added to the site plan. No major changes from the first elevations are obvious. The panels on the parking podium moved around a little, and the balconies look slightly different.

There was also an FAA permit posted today for the building with a height of 514 feet.

Hanover filed for an expedited plan (ePlan) review this week. That's a premium service that the City offers for developers that want to speed up the approval/permitting process. Most projects don't have ePlan filings which would indicated that Hanover wants to get this project moving. ePlans are typically filed while the site plan is under review which is the case with this project. The eplan along with Hanover's track record give me high hopes that Covid might not get in the way of this project.

Definitely a vote of confidence from Hanover.

I forgot how much i like those parking panels. Good stuff.

[urbancore]

so proud of our town, that we can seriously expect a 500 footer to break ground soon in a time like this.

I totally forgot about this building. so pumped. I dig it.
