As noted in the development thread this tower looks to be moving forward ahead of schedule. The parking lot is about ready to be fenced off for site prep to begin for a 2Q construction start, much sooner than the initial September start date.

Some new renderings, featuring a slightly revised design.

Nice. I like this one very much. I also love Market Square. OKRA, LaCarafe, Batanga, Warren's Inn, etc... good stuff is happening.

That ground pedestal appears to be more street friendly than the previous design.

Nothing says progress like a portable tank of water.

Occupying one half of a city block in the heart of downtown Houston’s historic district, Hines Market Square is within a five minute walk of the CBD with access to public transportation, and an extensive array of restaurants and clubs. Overlooking Houston’s first Urban Park, Market Square, the 24-story tower offers the luxury and convenience of a five star resort hotel. Also located within walking distance from Discovery Green, Buffalo hike and bike trails and three sports stadiums, the new residential tower will be home to 275 residents on top of a 7-story garage and one story retail/lobby level. The design respects the setback of the two adjacent contributing structures in the historic district, which are the Houston Citizen’s building and the former Cabo building. Additionally, the design allows for a pocket park fronting main street, which can accommodate outside dining for a restaurant tenant.

Residents living in the tower will be treated to uninterrupted views of Buffalo Bayou to the North, Allen Parkway to the West, city views to the South and Minute Maid Stadium to the East. Perched above the garage on level nine, with dramatic night time city views, is an array of amenities including: an aqua lounge with outdoor pool and terrace, fitness center, club room with gourmet kitchen, Wi-Fi lounge, and a private theater. The corner of Travis and Preston streets has a welcoming porch for outdoor dining which reinforces pedestrian activity at the street level.

The design of this luxury residential tower is guided by the modern principals of strength, elegance and timelessness for a 21st century architectural expression clad in a crisp combination of glass, aluminum, and stainless steel complimented by the richness of stone and masonry detailing throughout. The geometry of the tower is organized into a timeless architectural expression with a classic base, middle and top. The project is crowned by a lantern which is illuminated at night to become a landmark building on the Northern edge of downtown Houston. The design of the buildings base responds to the architectural heritage of the surrounding warehouse district, yet engages in a dialogue with Market Square becoming a foreground building as you approach downtown from the North.

LOVE the podium of this tower. Aesthetically it fits well with the historical environment of Market Square. Hines has done it again.

Nice - that's two residential towers going up at Market Square, possibly to be joined by the office tower.

That side of downtown has so much potential, and now with all of this new development I believe it will really pop.

Much speculation on HAIF as to whether work has actually begun or if it's a separate smaller project on the same block. This is from Graystone on HAIF, 9/12:
