Maybe they made the model before they redesigned Regent Square and/or the towers are not part of Phase I.
The tallest tower is 28 stories.

Highly-anticipated designs for a 28-storey residential tower in Houston have finally been revealed. The Regent Square tower will include 150 condominiums, a 1,400 square metre amenity deck and 930 square metres of indoor amenity areas. The design features floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive views of downtown Houston. The development is part of a broader plan to transform the area to a vibrant urban community and promote a mixed-use neighbourhood.
I also wrote this on HAIF, but to keep this thread up to date...
The leasing center will formally open within 3-4 weeks. They're still finishing up a few things, but from what I've seen thus far, it's quite nice. Not jammed with clutter nor is it closed in. Nice and open, with renderings and the model. Now for a bit of extra info on that model...
Each of the residential towers is in the model, though since no specific design has been picked, they're represented by opaque plastic forms which are in the general shape of what I'm guessing the developers intend the towers to look like. There are a few renderings of a glassy, curvy highrise of about 25-30 floors which are partially visible on some printed material on display and in a video that plays in the center.
I was a bit pressed for time, but I intend on picking up some of the printed materials when the place formally opens.
Wow cool, it really seems as though this thing is going through with! I sure hope so.
Did you guys know there is a Regents Square being developed in Kingwood in north Houston? Its a pretty sweet development, of course, not at all on the scale of this one. But believe it or not, in sprawly Kinghood they are building a nice new development that is very much to the style of new urbanism and I love it. Once completed Kingwood will have an area that actually seems urban within it. I dont know of its the same developers, but the style of buildings would elude to this.

Oh yeahhh,
New detailed renderings of the 28-story residential tower.

The design combines two distinctly different halves. The eastern half features floor-to-ceiling curtain wall with views of downtown Houston. The western half introduces double-height outdoor space to each unit with expansive views towards Memorial Park. Gary Handel, AIA, is serving as partner-in-charge.
