The story
Williams Tower is a business center and one of Houston's skyscrapers, standing 64 storeys and 909 feet tall right next to the Galleria shopping mall. Its height makes it a handy landmark. On clear nights the building is visible from up to 40 miles away while driving. The tower's neighbour is Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park, and the green space between the building and the water wall is a calm spot for picnics and photoshoots. The sound of running water carries across the grounds, giving this corner of the city a surprisingly natural feel. The tower sits right on the way to the waterwall, so a look up at its full height fits easily into a stroll through the park.
