At the mention of the West Loop, one envisions the Galleria complex
that features shopping, offices, a hotel and indoor ice rink. Vivid
also are images of high-rise buildings (including Transco Tower with
its 64 stories), a concentration of fine restaurants and luxury hotels.
The West Loop area, in short, is Houston's second downtown, or "uptown"
as it's called. This uptown area boasts the city's second skyline.
Residences "close to the Loop" are always in demand.
