Like what? I brag about things that's actually worth bragging about. For Example: Dart rail, the Deck Park, Urban developments, etc.

The more office space the larger the building meaning the larger the skyline.

Common sense dude
Not necessarily. Chase Tower (Houston) and Wells Fargo Plaza (Houston) is taller than the BOA Plaza and the Renaissance Tower but it has less office space. The Dallas World Trade Center alone has over 3 million sq ft of space and it's only 17 stories.

Lol, the Dallas posters are all up in a twist because Las Colinas? Irving has more Office Space than DT Dallas.

argue with it all you want but you are gonna have to take it up with the people who did the report.

Don't come crying to me, read the report: http://www.grubb-ellis.com/Forecast2...FF_2012_1Q.pdf and cry to them

For the OP - Houston has quite a few buildings that are old that make Houston's skyline seem a bit brown. None of the new developments have this feature. The ugliest building has to be the oldest one built in 1920's (which Dallas has none of) and is in the U.S Register of National Places.

JPMorgan Chase Building (Houston) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These are all of the recent buildings built in downtown Houston with more on the way.

I've never seen the Chase/Gulf building labeled as the ugliest building in downtown. Personally, I like the 20's Art Deco style. To each his own, I suppose.

Me too. It is easily one of my favorites. I think it is right behind the Esperson Building in my top 5 favorite buildings downtown.

Now if you are talking about ugly then The Exxon/ Humble Oil building would be a front runner in my book. The Old Holiday Inn building would be a top contender too, But the Gulf Oil??? That is classic beauty in my book.
