Yeah; that's the thing about Houston. Pictures don't really do the skyline justice because it has incredible density and amazing architect. However, the pictures don't really capture that.

I really admire its understated elegance. Its design is not faddish and won't go out of style.

I remember going on a field trip there in the third grade. We went to the top of one of the buildings. Don't remember if it was the Chase building or Wells Fargo Plaza.

I voted for Chase Tower but I wish it has some sort of lighting feature at night to set itself apart from the others other than the lights outlining the top. Oh well.

BOA Dallas looks better than Chase tower! Chase tower is so bland and plain.

Chase Tower.

It's not spectacular but is graceful with stunning height. The design should keep it contemporary for many years.
