Now, for a bit of bad news... Devon just announced RECORD breaking losses for the quarter. Much worse than analysts had expected.

Not saying it's off, but for the first time, I have my doubts.

Record breaking losses can only mean one thing... more job cuts. That's not great for anyone

I suspect photolitherland was being sarcastic.

I wouldn't worry too much. Devon had only one bad quarter and with gas prices on the rise again, I'm sure they'll be in a good position going forward.

Also, this tower is aways off. This property is an important one for Brookfield. It'll get done; its only a matter of when.

I agree with you I think this one will be done as well. And also I think that this building would be a great addition to the skyline.

New Rendering, but still small.

...and skinny.

It looks very disproportional.

Urbannizer · #69 Posted **Jun 23, 2009, 4:39 PM**

Some new things about this tower.

-It will be adjacent to the Allen Center

http://media.corporate-ir.net/media_files/...AR_MD&A.pdf (pg. 7)

-There will be a skybridge connection to the Allen Center as well.

-This tower will be constructed on whats now a surface lot thats not across I-45.

I dont know if i actually like the way the building looks in that rendering. Looks extremely geometric.

Urbannizer · #71 Posted **Jun 24, 2009, 3:58 AM**

This tower will make a significant change on the skyline...

Metro Matt · #72 Posted **Jun 24, 2009, 5:08 AM**

So is it a go or not?

Still have to wait for that 50% lease for anything to move forward.

1. Currently under construction,(?) Five Allen Center’s distinctive case, we’re driven by the same ideas: beauty, sustainability and strength. design will provide expansive city and bayou views.

That rendering makes it appear as tall as Wells Fargo Plaza and the girth of Continental Center's width. A little disproportionate to what it'll likely look like.

JManc · #76 Posted **Jul 17, 2009, 5:56 PM**

i don't think that is under construction. not yet at least.

plinko · #77 Posted **Jul 17, 2009, 9:05 PM**

Based on the perspective, it appears to be just shorter than Heritage Plaza, so about 750'. Probably about right...

That is a big brutal building, and fits right into the Houston skyline.

Thymant · #78 Posted **Jul 21, 2009, 2:42 PM**

It looks like it fills in a huge gap.

This render is more like the ghost of Five Allen Center, so you can see through it to the buildings it covers up. If it was a little to the left or right it would fill a gap. In that location, it's covering up one of the older members of the Houston "wall."
