This building will now be 25 stories instead of 24.


Astoria - High-Rise Living


What a beautiful building! They should have risen the number of stories to at least 40-50.

There is something modern yet still classic about it . Finally designers that get it.. One thing that has erik me about the building going up in houston lately is that they dont stand out.. Which is why I hoping Houston goes bold with the new 1000 room hotel downtown .

The building also looks taller than your average 20-something story building.

I wonder if the 25 from 24 is due to increased demand, more popular than they thought t would be, most places like this tend to lease before they are even bulit

Ceiling heights are higher maybe. Also the second setback on the building aren't floors.
