My office was across the street in Pennzoil Place, so I had a bird's eyer view - until the structure soared well beyoud my view. The building is awe inspiring and has its own beauty.I also had the honor of meeting I.M. Pei.  tabish - Saturday, May 26th, 2007 @ 3:25pm • Rating: Five stars.good massing nice elevation Moni Smith - Thursday, May 24th, 2007 @ 4:42pm • Rating: Five stars.This is a beautiful building. I love how the top gets lost in the low hanging clouds over Houston. Will Sheffield - Friday, April 27th, 2007 @ 11:37pm • Rating:  Four stars.sadly, i have never been in downtown even though i live less than 30 minutes away. Just seeing this building, even from far away, lets me think of the wonders of architechture...how high can one building go? Nick Del Toro - Wednesday, May 10th, 2006 @ 11:09am • Rating: Five stars.To have a structure be so massive and rize so far above the Earth there is no other word to descibe it than amazing. The tower is so beautiful, it is the tallest in Texas and completes the Houston skyline. AJT - Friday, July 29th, 2005 @ 5:52pm • Rating: Five stars.Wonderful building! I just went up to the sky lobby on the 60th floor today and the view was outstanding!  Otu Oviemo Ovadje - Sunday, March 13th, 2005 @ 6:54pm • Rating: Five stars.Great and very wonderful piece of Architecture. truly facinating Obuke Ovadje - Wednesday, March 9th, 2005 @ 2:12pm • Rating: Five stars.This is one masterpiece of architecture, particularly with regard to its foundation (on rollers?). Wao! Saige - Tuesday, November 30th, 2004 @ 4:57pm • Rating: Five stars.I agree with Susan M. The Chase Tower does punctuate Houston SkyLine...and the guy that commented that ITS ugly needs to get his eyes checked. : o ) Bryant Kruskopp - May 5th, 2003 • I've been to Houston a lot, and i like all the buildings there, especially the Chase Tower, because it makes the skyline complete(just like the WTC's)why i like it also, is i like buildings that stand out, it looks very good, especially coming down Hwy 45 going toward Galveston I agree with the comment, "it's plain, but very tall" 1, yes its very plain, but the tall part,is what i say again, makes the skyline complete, unlike European cities. Martell Williams - March 22nd, 2003 • I Agree with susan motley,chase tower is plain but very tall and beutiful.Houston Is a big city so it needs tall,and big buildings like the chaxe tower. Mies2 - August 13th, 2002 • I.M. Pei's building brings a higher level of sophistication and intellectual challenge to Houston. I think it is fitting that Joan Miro's sculpture, which serves as a perfect counterfoil to the uniformly colored and shaped 75-story tower, represents man aspiring for his dreams. Pei was right when he said in "The Oral History of Modern Architecture:..." that a monochrome building can be attractive just by reflecting the changes in the sky. The fact that it is, at times, anonymous adds to its mystique and power. Susan Motley - August 8th, 2002 • I have to disagree with the guy who thinks that the JP Morgan Chase Tower is ugly. It punctuates the Houston skyline. I think it's a plain, but elegant building. James Stull - August 4th, 2002 • Chase Tower is not very pretty at all! It's tall, but very UGLY.
